Children's TV Unites to Launch Pro-Homosexual Campaign of 'Tolerance'

What do Arthur, Barney, Blue's Clues, Bob the Builder, The Book of Pooh, Clifford the Big Red Dog, Dora the Explorer, Jimmy Neutron, Kim Possible, Lilo & Stitch: The Series, Little Mermaid, Madeline, The Magic School Bus, The Muppet Show, Rugrats, Sesame Street and SpongeBob SquarePants have in common? They all want to encourage your children to accept and embrace homosexuality as a normal and valid way of life. Should your children be watching programs that actively promote what God calls an "abomination?"

Lev 20:13 "If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them."

Please read the following article by Ed Vitagliano of Agape Press:

It is as unprecedented as it is cunning, using all the right words and happiest faces in an attempt to speak directly to the nation's children about "tolerance and diversity." Once again, of course, those ideas include homosexual advocacy.

On November 10, 2004, a video remake of the song, "We Are Family," was created using the voices and images of over 100 beloved children's TV characters. On March 11, 2005, the video performance will air simultaneously on the Disney Channel, Nickelodeon and PBS.

...

Also in March, the DVD of the song will be distributed to 61,000 public and private elementary schools across the country. It will be accompanied by a teacher's guide, designed by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), a group that, among other things, promotes the normalization of homosexuality.

Driving the project is the We Are Family Foundation (WAFF), which states on its website that the song was remixed "to speak the message of diversity and tolerance to elementary school children nationwide."

...

One of the teacher's guides available online at the WAFF website is called "Writing for Change: Raising Awareness of Difference, Power, & Discrimination." Full of politically correct lessons on feminism, it is also a primer for teachers who want to indoctrinate children regarding sexual orientation issues.

Lessons include such topics as "Talking About Being 'Out'" and "Uncovering Attitudes About Sexual Orientation." In these lesson plans, teachers are taught how to introduce students to "the concepts of homophobia and compulsory heterosexuality."

According to the teacher's guide, children should be taught to reject the idea "that women are 'naturally' or innately drawn sexually and emotionally toward men, and men toward women," or that heterosexuality is normal and should be the only model for marriage.

Hey, I've been searching for info on "Dora The Explorer." We don't watch tv and we're very conservative christians. We're also "first generation" christians, and my mom in law just gave my two year old a skimpy bathing suit and dora the explorer blocks for her birthday. (Of course, I'm just going to ditch Dora and keep the blocks) I'm dreading having the uncomfortable conversation with her about what we don't allow in our house. I've never watched Dora, so what exactly does the show (or producers) promote that is bad for our kids and how? I'm just looking for something concrete to tell people when they give me that look that says "wow, you are a wierdo" I've heard things about Disney promoting homosexuality too, but nothing specific because we don't actually watch. Thanks for any info you could give me.

Thank you for your question. Obviously, neither I, nor my children, have watched Dora for quite sometime. I understand that it has changed somewhat, but to what extent I do not know. 'Dora the Explorer' in and of itself I do not remember being particularly objectionable. It was basically the same idea every week, Dora had to accomplish something and the program was a lesson in following directions. The issue that I brought up was that WAFF, a blatantly homosexual advocate, was behind a project which used the cartoon characters to further their cause and they are actively pushing their materials in public schools. Aside from that the vast majority of current cartoons are teaching children socialism, humanism, occultism, paganism, polytheism, evolution and a general disregard for authority. This is true for both TV shows and movies. Additionally, they blur the lines of God's created order (animals and people are either similar, the same, or animals are better than humans). I would encourage you to watch some of the cartoons yourself (without the children) and listen to the words and ideas which are being put forth; look at the characters (are they human?) and how they interact with other characters and compare it all with Scripture. Everything we watch or read becomes a part of us; we can not help it, it changes us in someway. One thing that it is crucial for Christians to understand is that nothing is neutral. There is no area of life where God does not reign. If He is God then He is God of all. There is nothing wrong with being creative, but we can not create a fantasy world where we call good what God calls evil and call evil what God calls good. For if we could, then we serve a limited god (limited in His power and authority) and therefore is no God at all.
