School Field Trip to Teacher's Lesbian Wedding Sparks Controversy

First-graders in San Francisco took a field trip to City Hall to celebrate the marriage of their lesbian teacher on Friday, but opponents of same-sex marriage in the state say the field trip was an attempt to “indoctrinate” the students, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

The field trip was suggested by a parent at the Creative Arts Charter School, and the school said the trip, where students tossed rose petals on their teacher and her wife as they left City Hall, was academically relevant.

"It really is what we call a teachable moment," said Liz Jaroslow, the school’s interim director, according to the newspaper. She said same-sex marriage had historic significance. "I think I'm well within the parameters."

California will vote on Nov. 4 on Proposition 8 which seeks to ban same-sex marriage in the state, and supporters of the measure say the field trip shows that allowing same-sex marriage will mean it’s taught to school children, the newspaper said.

"It's just utterly unreasonable that a public school field trip would be to a same-sex wedding," said Chip White, press secretary for the Yes on 8 campaign, told the Chronicle. "This is overt indoctrination of children who are too young to have an understanding of its purpose."

Yet another reason to leave California. urgh

Utterly reasonable

"It's just utterly unreasonable that a public school field trip would be to a same-sex wedding,"...

Wrong! It is, in fact, utterly reasonable that a government owned, operated, and controlled indoctrination system--er, "public school"--does exactly that which its master, the state government, desires. The state has chosen to endorse same-sex "marriage", so its department of education will naturally promote this value. Those kids who have been abandoned by their parents to the state will, of course, be indoctrinated to the state's values. This is how the state raises its children with its own values. Duh.

Your kid?

If your kid was affected by this incident, PJI is offering to represent you. (Of course, if your kid was affected, get him/her out of government school.)
