[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Recruitment means artificially stacking schools with a disproportionate amount of Gay families so kids think gay family is just the same as a hetero family and it isn't. It also isn't fair in the admission process to judge a candidate on who their parent is with. A gay family can be fine but it is not the same and is confusing for children at a young age to think this way. Personally I think the door has swung so far to the left that there is starting to be a push back. I am pro gay rights so can't imagine what the people who aren't pro gay rights are thinking. FYI I am not a fan of my kids being indoctrinated with this stuff at a young age. Kids are so innocent and if my child is gay so be it but I an not interested in having this stuff paraded around in Kindergarten.[/quote] So, if your kindergartner comes home and says that his/her best friend has two moms or two dads and he/she really wants to have a playdate with the new best friend, what do you do? Since that family is 'parading' around who they are by just existing. Are the black families 'parading' around who they are because they are living lives as themselves? How about the Latino families? Are you tired of them parading around, too? Indoctrinating kids into thinking that, gosh, there are different people in the world? And in an independent school where the percentage of African American students is larger than the percentage nationally of African Americans in the general population, how dare they parade around, right? That's not reality to have 48% kids of color, with a 25 percent African American population, when the national population is only 13%--why are schools 'stacking' their populations in unrealistic ways, parading around that diversity? That sounds ridiculous, right? Just like your argument sounds completely and utterly ignorant. [/quote]
