I won't defend their actions other than to say that we can do without more hate. I think the idea was to celebrate diversity, different cultures, why Timmy might have 1 mom no dad, 1 dad no mom, 2 moms, etc... Nothing about sex per-say.

Besides, if they wanted to protest, they should have protested at a school board meeting NOT at the elementary school. Say what you will about the orientation, politics, etc of the adults, the kids do not need to be pawns. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

That's <span class="ev_code_BLACK">bull shi</span>t!! That is NOT something impressionable children should be subjected to. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

This is going to ge my last post on this topic. I have no desire to get into an argument with you, DRTY. I'm merely reporting what happened.

Flags from every nation on earth were on display. This single flag was an issue of contension in the community. Both sides of the debate had valid arguments. I did not state what side of the issue I'm on or wheather the desision by the school board was a good one. I do not believe that it was. Elementary school is no place for this discussion.

The thing that suprises me here is that while we agree that the children should be protected, you seem to be taking the side of the protesters. I may be mistaken, but the tone of your remarks seems to be that protesting in front of the impressionable children was a good thing. I hope that I am wrong and that this isn't what you were implying.

The decision of the school board was wrong. The act of these nut bags to protest in front of an elementary school was much, much worse. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Absolutely keep the children out of this. Shelter them form this kind of crap(hate AND homosexuality). They deserve to be able to have a childhood without dealing with these two groups of kooks.
