FOX News, conservatives pounce on Kidergarten Teacher for distributing gay-friendly ‘I am an Ally’ pledges
”We have a general rule that all instruction should be age appropriate, and this clearly was not.”
Jeff Cook, a Hayward, CA shool board member who says that some type of action should be taken against Tara Miller, an kindergarten teacher at Faith Ringgold School of Arts and Science, who allegedly had her students sign pledge cards from the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network (GLSEN) to not use and speak out against homophobic language. It is reported in this Fox News piece that a parent was furious upon seeing her child’s signature, and also that various conservative organizers are using this as another frightening example of how “pro-homosexual” views are spreading through the California school system.
