What I learned in school today

So, my pre-k daughter came home from school today and to my surprise she began telling me immediately what the definition of a family was. This is a controversial topic to many, but I thought that if everyone could see what a four-year-old took from her lesson on family perhaps many of the fears and scandal associated with the topic might be resolved. Anyways, check the video below to see how public schools are defining family.

Thoughts? Is that the face of a brainwashed child? Are public schools getting it wrong? Is the homosexual agenda influencing my children? Is this just much ado about nothing? More importantly, as dads--what should we be doing? Shouldn't we be fostering love and tolerance? I know I for one don't want to get in the way of how awesome and loving my daughters are.

Just curious what YOUR definition of a family is?

Hey Jason,

That's a fair enough question. I am of the view that 'family' is defined by the way my four-year-old put it, "Adults and children who love each other and live together." I am actually Catholic and I get sick to my stomach anytime I hear hate speech directed towards the gay community under the guise of religion. I think that we are called to love one another and be accepting, not to be divisive and put up walls.

Hope that clears that up.

Joe

I would liek to note that for the religus ange of my rants yesterday I said it is only gods right to judge people.

I feel that being gay does not eliminate you fro the family aspect of life. If my daughters chose to be gay, that will make them no-less bart of the family than they are now. I will not punish them for that ether. It is the right of each person to live the way they chose, I just chose to beleive that it is not natural or right to be gay.

Family is family, no matter what they chose as a religion, sexual preferance, or general way of life.
