hang on a minute,you're both saying the same thing (in this post) That it's about treating people equally. So why are you in dissagreement?

You obviously have some serious issues with homosexuals and their "special treatment". From the sound of your replies, I would think that this pledge is in place because of how people like you raise their kids.
Oh here we go, if you don't agree with me you must be a racist or bigot! Somehow treating everyone equally has become a bad thing. You cant just teach your kids to treat all people the same, no you have to also teach them that certain people are better than others.
People like yourself are unable to grasp concepts like equal treatment and treating people like you want to be treated. Instead, you latch on to feel good concepts like protecting certain segments of society and putting greater penalties on their feelings, than other's. Thats fine, because hey, it makes you feel good.
In the end though, your child is going to see that special attention is given to this group, but not this other. Thats builds resentments that continue to cycle of name calling and hatred. I hope someday people like you realize that, but right now you're too busy making yourself feel good.

And Marcus Calpurnius, are you ignoring my posts all together, because you are sticking to your guns that only different sexualties are having things like this done, and I would happily bet that is not the truth. But it is not news worthy to say a class has signed a piece of paper to say they wont bully someone.

But to be fair we also wont teach people not to bully for any other reason, lets see how that works because I'm sure you would complain if your child was beaten up that the school should have taught them it was wrong...
Different sexualities are faced on slightly more as they generally have more problems than the redheads or overweight people. The same goes for racism, it is focussed upon more because it needs to be.

No, the pain is the same...BUT...generally a person of a different sexuality will receive this 'pain' more often.
As random as that sounds it does make sense.
All forms of bullying are addressed at school, but some forms do need to receive special attention yes... Lets go back a few decades, racism was singled out amongst all other types of bullying, it was set aside and received 'special treatment'. And today you could soon have a black president. Setting forms of bullying aside does not make things worse, it highlights that some forms of bullying are worse than others.
