Christian Group Finds Gay Agenda in Anti-Bullying Day

On Mix It Up at Lunch Day, schoolchildren around the country are encouraged to hang out with someone they normally might not speak to.

The program, started 11 years ago by the Southern Poverty Law Center and now in more than 2,500 schools, was intended as a way to break up cliques and prevent bullying.

But this year, the American Family Association, a conservative evangelical group, has called the project "a nationwide push to promote the homosexual lifestyle in public schools" and is urging parents to keep their children home from school on Oct. 30, the day most of the schools plan to participate this year.

The charges, raised in an e-mail to supporters earlier this month, have caused a handful of schools to cancel this year's event and has caught organizers off guard.

Those parents, regardless of comfort level with gay adults ( and/ or Children, for that matter--WTF) are engaging in a form of bigotry that should get them a one-way ticket to Hell. Here on earth, such low-information parents should be carefully surveilled as these Faux-Christian religious sociopaths may have gay children as well. Those kids, in particular, may be in danger already for God's sake. Gay kids are normal and wonderful as are non- gay kids. What a fantastic program for October 30 annually. I hope it is successful this year and every year.
