On Friday, a group of According to the San Francisco Chronicle, “the 18 San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom officiated over the ceremony. A parent suggested that the students take a field trip to attend the lesbian wedding. Liz Jaroslow, the school’s interim director, claimed the field trip served an academic purpose. She wanted students to understand the historic significance of same-sex marriage and encourage first-graders to take a stand in support of the homosexual political agenda. Administrators of the The parents of the students are planning to produce a video with the children describing what marriage means to them. According to the SF Chronicle, “as is the case with all field trips, parents had to give their permission and could choose to opt out of the trip. Two families did. Those children spent the duration of the 90-minute field trip back at school with another first-grade class, the interim director said.” Jaroslow claimed their field trip should not be considered controversial and she believed her decision to sponsor the outing was worth risking her job over it.

written by Jason K , October 13, 2008 Bothers me that they missed class for a wedding. If it was something voluntary on a Saturday, then I wouldn't see the big deal. But they missed class for a wedding.... something that probably wouldn't have happened if it wasn't a same sex wedding. Of course if this same school allowed students to attend a traditional wedding as a field trip, then I don't see this as a problem.

written by Byron George , October 14, 2008 First graders? Leave them out of your sick fight. BTW, I noticed in the article that it said "her wife Karen McCoy", question is how can you tell the difference. are they both wives or never mind.

written by byx , October 14, 2008 Yup, never mind. Nothing to see here or comment on. Move along, move along. Oh, look, the 'piscopal Bishop just had another stroke. He's foaming at the mouth and has bit his tongue off. Think we should administer last rites? Move along, move along.

written by michael a. , October 14, 2008 I love me some Brown Bess. Will you come to my gay wedding? Byron will be protesting outside.

written by Ken Dickson , October 14, 2008 What a "sick deal"! To destroy the minds & souls of children with this kind of "bunk" is the worst thing that could be produced by an educational system! No wonder why our kids are having all the problems in life noted by every MD in the country!

written by Holy Roller , October 14, 2008 Typical Byron blubber. Tries to make his point, and then degrades into personal attacks. Of course, being a charter school, they probably didn't miss a whole lot by being out of class. They also learned about civic law in California. Note the keyword- law. It's just a matter of time, Byron George. You will be going to gay weddings in Texas within the decade. Roll over.

written by Byron George , October 14, 2008 Roller, lol As with other States, the will of the voters will be overturned by liberal judges. "Keyword--law" What law? Goofy liberal judges. It is not law until it makes it to the SCOTUS. BTW, what personal attack. If it is a question you cannot answer then let someone else do it.

written by HSH , October 14, 2008 Byron: If the kids' parents are cool with it,and the school is cool with it, what is the problem here?

written by N. Texan , October 14, 2008 >>If the kids' parents are cool with it,and the school is cool with it, what is the problem here? The problem as I see it is that the school chartered a bus (using tax payer funds) to a fellow school employee's private event, and billed it as an 'acedemic' field trip. >>Of course if this same school allowed students to attend a traditional wedding as a field trip, then I don't see this as a problem. I do. The school should not be shuttling the teacher's own students to the teacher's own wedding, regardless of same-sex or traditional. For it to merit as an acedemic field trip (as a minimum) the school should have made it participatory of the entire school or entire school grade, not just that teacher's students.

written by michael a. , October 14, 2008 Byron's previous personal attack: "Leave them out of your sick fight" - Sick is a personal attack against gay people. ". BTW, I noticed in the article that it said "her wife Karen McCoy", question is how can you tell the difference. are they both wives or never mind." - This is merely an example of condescension which I myself enjoy on occasion because it's so much fun. I think is perfectly acceptable. When my partner and I get married Byron, where can we send your invite?
...
written by Byron George , October 14, 2008 michael a., just send it in care of the Dallas Blog. How will i know you? Will you be wearing the tux or the dress?
...
written by Byron George , October 14, 2008 Better yet michael, just post the invitation here and more people can also join me at your "wedding."

written by Holy Roller , October 15, 2008 We elect representatives and appoint judges to oversee our laws, Byron. Sorry, but you don't get to vote on every law that comes along. That's why we live in a republic and not a democracy. We realized long ago that mob rule was inefficient and dangerous.

written by Byron George , October 15, 2008 in other words, the will of the people does not mean one thing! When anything is placed on the ballot as a Constitutional Amendment, is passed and then some judge decides he doesn't like it he/she should not be able to bypass the 'will of the people' That is what is happening. Explain to me how a Constitutional Amendment which amends the Constitution can be considered unconstitutional. impossible
...
written by Holy Roller , October 15, 2008 There hasn't been a case that you're mentioning Byron. No marriage amendment has been overturned. The judicial branch has only noted that the current laws, in whatever states in question, are unconstitutional. So the only way to make them constitutional is to amend their constitution. That is what California is currently trying to do next month. Write comment
