Yes because the insidious intention of this program is that we stop society from demonizing homosexuals.
I hope you can see all the ways in which that is a stupid belief.

Samuel Colt and myself take severe umbrage at such a suggestion.

The problem I see is teaching children NOT to stand up for themselves.
Just like they want adults NOT to fight for what they believe in.
Good, complacent, apathetic citizens.
They don't want freedom fighters.
Teach children to stand up for themselves!
They can decide when it is important todo so...
If they get knocked down...tell them to stand up and brush their shoulders off!
If they get hurt, they'll learn that fighting hurts so only do it when necessary.
We can't be scared of children getting bruised or broken. It happens.
That's how I learned to deal with life.
I wasn't taught to run from my problems, thankfully.
Greatly called Social Engineering and proven to work.
After decades of this, children...now adults...will bend over backwards to the biggest bully.
The gov't.
Oh wait...this already happens today.

Comparing school yard bullying to acts of terrorism and wars is incredibly extreme, don't ya think?

If that's what you get out of this thread then you didn't understand a thing about what I said.
It's not about comparing bullying to acts of terrorism. It's about teaching an entire generation that standing up for themselves and their personal safety, when necessary, is WRONG. And once you start ingraining that belief in your future generation, where does it stop?

To be honest, I'd rather have the generation that thinks before acting with violence. Maybe then we might actually find out if the country we are going to invade had weapons of mass destruction, or had absolutely anything to do with said terrorist attack.
