Christian Group Finds Gay Agenda in Anti-Bullying Day
By KIM SEVERSON
Published: October 14, 2012

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.

Yeah, I'm thinking that the US being one of the "most religious" first world countries, isn't necessarily a good thing.

It's ridiculous. As long as it's really "anti-bullying" in general and not specific to gay issues, I think the AFA is off their rocker.

BTW - the best (and sometimes only) way to stop a bully is to beat the living crap out of them. Works wonders.

i find afa's tactics to be bullying.
