1st graders attending lesbian wedding

[Mr. O]

SAN FRANCISCO—A group of San Francisco first graders took an unusual field trip to City Hall on Friday to toss rose petals at their just-married lesbian teacher—putting the public school children at the center of a fierce election battle over the fate of same-sex marriage.

The 18 Creative Arts Charter School students took a public bus and walked a block at noon to toss rose petals and blow bubbles on their just-married teacher Erin Carder and her wife Kerri McCoy, giggling and squealing as they mobbed their teacher with hugs.

Mayor Gavin Newsom, a friend of a friend, officiated.

A parent came up with the idea for the field trip -- a surprise for the teacher on her wedding day.

"She's such a dedicated teacher," said the school's interim director Liz Jaroflow.

But there was a question of justifying the field trip academically. Jaroflow decided she could.

"It really is what we call a teachable moment," Jaroflow said, noting the historic significance of same-sex marriage and related civil rights issues. "I think I'm well within the parameters."

I will be voting No on 8

[Sikotic™]

Students shouldnt be involved in any personal matters of a teacher. No on Prop 8 though.

why not?

So it's okay for your daughter to visit the marriage of a heterosexual teacher; just not if the teacher is lesbian? Kids are supposed to behave differently towards a lesbian teacher? Lesbians are to be treated differently? Their love relationships are less legit than heterosexual ones? So much for America being the land of the free. Your mind is damn well enslaved. Don't you want your daughter to understand? You want her to be dumb, just so she will blindly accept being the perfectly drawn average?

[Real American]

They are six year old children. let kids be kids and not indoctrinate them with your left wing views about homosexuality.

Most Americans reject gay marriage, quit brainwashing our kids with your left wing agenda.

That school money is being wasted to send children to weddings.

[Javier]

If the school continues to meet the demands of a Charter School, then it still shouldn't be a problem. 

[Teddy Roosevelt]

If the school continues to meet the demands of a Charter School, then it still shouldn't be a problem. 

It is still a problem because the money could be put to better use like an educational field trip or more school supplies or whatever.  And meeting the demands of a character school doesn't mean schools can blow off the rest of there money. Simply being "good enough" should be good enough. California is in a financial crises every year which involves shortage of school money, and this school is using it for personal affairs.

[Javier]

Every decision maker in the school district plus city thought it was justified academically. Who should step in?

I couldn't even saying any better.

HOT lesbians fill me with fustration and rage...otherwise if they not its all good, probably better that way then...

So it ought to be wrong, only because most Americans reject gay marriage? Like I said, you're expecting them to become averages perfectly drawn upon a zero, because everyone else should just comply to all the others all the time? Allowing children to see the different choices people can make in life without automatically attaching a prefabricated moral judgement is too much "left wing agenda" for you? Note that you are the one indoctrinating them with your views; not those who keep an open mind.

I didn't say..i'm just saying..I live a life where man suppose to marry a girl...not mikey and james or sarah and tina.

That's where moral comes into play.

Once and forever, like an unquestionable fact? People cannot not get married, or move away from the "normal" route if they so please? And should they be treated differently if they decide to do so? Is that a morality you would dare defending?

Some people here beg to differ; they say it's a moral issue about gay people not deserving the respect a heterosexual couple would get. It's either my way or the highway. Now if it's an issue about money, I couldn't say much against that. School money normally shouldn't be used for such trips. If the children are young, I can imagine them visiting a marriage would be a great practical and personal learning experience, but all that is questionable - especially in the case of a same sex marriage, which is quite a rare occasion. However, don't you think they could learn a lot from it? It's in a whole different league of learning, but it could be very valuable to them. Perhaps you could say they would learn a lot more from their mathematical lessons, but I don't think education is an issue quite that particular.
