Recently the Evesham School Board has come under fire from some parents for showing a film in school to their students that normalizes homosexual behaviour. Here is an excellent editorial from a parent who objected to the showing of such a film to her child in that public school.
"That's a Family! was produced not to encourage tolerance, but to aggressively advocate the normalization of homosexual behavior. The San Francisco-based organization that made the video, Women's Educational Media, says in its mission statement: "We ensure that our films are used to inspire meaningful social change." Other films produced by the group include One Wedding and a Revolution, a "behind-the-scenes look at the days leading up to San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom's decision to allow lesbian and gay couples to marry," and Choosing Children, a "groundbreaking documentary about lesbians becoming parents."
" film on family life and sexual mores produced by the Catholic Church would never be shown in the public school system. Nor should it be. Family values and sexual mores are areas of great controversy in our society. The taxpayer-funded public school system has no right to step into this debate, redefine the family unit, and establish new sexual norms, just as it has no right to promote a particular religion to the exclusion of others."
