Leftists are causing kids to forget about the founding fathers in order to make them cross-dress!

In 2009, California declared Harvey Milk Day a state holiday on the slain civil rights leader’s birthday, May 22nd, despite vitriolic protests from the Religious Right. Now, Jerry Cox of the Arkansas Family Council and the Family Council Action Committee is warning that by honoring Milk, children will be forced to cross-dress and have mock gay weddings, telling the American Family Association’s OneNewsNow that schools should instead spend more time honoring the Founding Fathers who “exemplified all the good in mankind in their life”:

"On the other hand, if a person has left-leaning philosophies, a left-leaning theology, a left-leaning view of the world, then it seems that it's always in vogue to honor those people and to have a special holiday for them," Cox notes.

Children will be required to participate in exercises that honor Milk, which could include mock homosexual "weddings" and cross-dressing contests, as well as writing or reading activities. The pro-family leader decides that public schools are failing to promote good role models for students.

"What we ought to be doing is holding up the lives of people that were truly great, people like the Founding Fathers -- the ones who have exemplified all the good in mankind in their life," Cox contends.

Now, here's the funny thing. During the time the founding fathers were around, and there is little doubt that this happened to the founding fathers themselves. And the thing is that when they were boys, they were most likely wearing dresses, thing called breeching, so they wouldn't have to deal with so many buckles and straps. Ironic, right? Just another case of Christian Right history fail.

1. What a strange world these people inhabit.

Well, the good thing is they will all be raptured Saturday and they will miss Harvey Milk day anyway.
For some reason, I get the impression Mr. Cox would like to cross dress. It won't hurt you, Jerry buddy. Just do it!

5. You have no idea, Mr., uh, "Cox"

The influence is so pernicious and powerful, look what it did to America's Mayor, Rudy "a noun, a verb and 9/11" Giuliani back in the day:



Won't someone please think of the children?!
