However, your comment is a little confusing. State-run, public education is hardly unconstitutional even though in its present form it is highly undesirable. Remember that the US Constitution enumerates the powers of the Federal Government. The powers of the individual states are enumerated in the various state constitutions. Article VIII of the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Virginia certainly gives the state the authority to operate a public education system. Therefore, state-run, public education is not unconstitutional. Federal intrusion into state-run, public education may well be. 90% of what comes out of Washington, DC is probably unconstitutional. But the Federal Government does not run public education in America. At least not yet. But, if your kids are in a state-run, public school you should remove them immediately! If conservatives pulled their kids out of public schools tomorrow we would make a huge step toward reclaiming our republic. <blockquote> On September 9th, 2009 at 2:26 pm, inspiredhome said: How many times must I say it?

The whole thing was hosted by Linda Ellerby. The subject was harrassment of the children of gay parents. The three religious kids expressed the opinion that their religion teaches that homosexuality is wrong, but also that you don't harrass the kids. The were called closed-minded by the other children. Jerry Falwell had a pre-recorded message in it, but it was chopped up and a GLADD spokeswoman would make a rebuttal, which is NOT how it was pitched to Falwell. He tried to get his part removed but couldn't. I used to have a tape of the program but I don't know where it is anymore. I'm sure it exists out there somewhere. It was obvious it was pushing gay acceptance, which would fine if they admitted that was the actual topic and gave parents some warning. There <em>was</em> a warning at the beginning but how many parents had to have an sensitive conversation with children they may have felt were not ready for it? OH I almost forgot. I went on Nickelodeon's website and posted a comment asking if anyone heard anything about the content of the program and it was deleted in less than an hour. You left out that back in 2002 (I read about it on Townhall) they did a GLADD produced 30 minute “news program” (at least that’s how it was listed in the guide) in which they had about 15 kids, mostly of gay parents, Rosie O’Donnell, a gay columnist and a school administrator who we find out late in the program is also gay.
