An example of how politics gets into education

One of the big problems with public education is so many people try to "fix" problems via government schools. Here's a recent example of some of the politically correct trying to effect change via the schools: Parents fight homosexual indoctrination of kindergarteners.

----------
A California school district seems intent on teaching pre-school children to accept the homosexual lifestyle.
The Alameda Unified School District announced it was considering a supplemental curriculum to eradicate "homophobia" in kindergarten children. Brad Dacus, founder of the
Pacific Justice Institute (PJI), said the meeting room for the public session earlier this week was overcrowded with angry parents.
"Nowhere at anytime did it give any protection for children being bullied because of their faith, their religion, their size, their race, ethnicity," he points out. "It is only going to give this special anti-bullying protection for homosexuals and transsexuals."

Brad Dacus makes a great point. There is a double standard here. The goal is not to protect children from bullies, but to use it as an excuse to change how children think.
