In a new video to be distributed to 61,000 schools across the nation, homosexual activists are using popular children's TV characters such as SpongeBob SquarePants and Barney the dinosaur to surreptitiously indoctrinate young children into their lifestyle, a pro-family activist group charges.

[font=Palatino, Book Antiqua, Times New Roman, Georgia, Times] SpongeBob SquarePants is one of the popular children's TV characters appearing in a new 'tolerance' video. [/font][/font] [font=Palatino, Book Antiqua, Times New Roman, Georgia, Times]Based on the 1970s hit song "We Are Family," the video will be distributed to public and private elementary schools nationwide March 11, along with lesson plans for teachers, points out the American Family Association. [/font]
[font=Palatino, Book Antiqua, Times New Roman, Georgia, Times]The distribution, sponsored by FedEx, will coincide with the video's broadcast March 11 on Nickelodeon, PBS, and the Disney Channel in celebration of the proposed National We Are Family Day. [/font]
[font=Palatino, Book Antiqua, Times New Roman, Georgia, Times]While the video is not specifically about homosexuality, it's producer, the We Are Family Foundation, has the primary purpose of "fighting homophobia," according to its website. [/font]
[font=Palatino, Book Antiqua, Times New Roman, Georgia, Times]The top of the website's home page reads, "We Are Family is a voice of informed straight, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered people who have chosen to love and support our relatives and friends by working to spread truth about homosexuality. Our focus is on young people because they generally feel so desperately alone." [/font]
[font=Palatino, Book Antiqua, Times New Roman, Georgia, Times]AFA researcher Ed Vitagliano sees the project as an "open door" to a secondary discussion of homosexuality, noting the the foundation has a "tolerance pledge" that children and others are encouraged to sign, which includes sexual orientation. [/font]
[font=Palatino, Book Antiqua, Times New Roman, Georgia, Times]"While we want everyone to respect other people's beliefs, we do not consider it appropriate for children's television to be used in an effort to indoctrinate children to accept homosexuality," he said. [/font]
[font=Palatino, Book Antiqua, Times New Roman, Georgia, Times]Vitagliano says the foundation is employing a bait-and-switch approach, with popular children's figures such as Arthur, Dora the Explorer, JoJo, Clifford the Big Red Dog, Big Bird and Bob the Builder. [/font]
[font=Palatino, Book Antiqua, Times New Roman, Georgia, Times]The objective is to get children to the foundation's website "and there they're given the full pitch about homosexuality," he said. [/font]
[font=Palatino, Book Antiqua, Times New Roman, Georgia, Times]Video producer Christopher Cerf called the video an "unprecedented event." [/font]
[font=Palatino, Book Antiqua, Times New Roman, Georgia, Times]"For the first time characters from all of the important kids shows came together to appear in the same video," he said in a November news release. "The producers and performers from each show embraced the spirit and message of this project." [/font]
[font=Palatino, Book Antiqua, Times New Roman, Georgia, Times]The We Are Family Foundation was founded by singer-songwriter Nile Rodgers, who wrote the hit song recorded in 1979 by Sister Sledge. [/font]
[font=Palatino, Book Antiqua, Times New Roman, Georgia, Times]The video was financed by a grant from the Toni Mendez Shapiro estate. [/font]
[font=Palatino, Book Antiqua, Times New Roman, Georgia, Times]"Cooperation and unity are the most important values we can teach children," Rodgers said. "We believe that this is the essential first step to loving thy neighbor." [/font]
[font=Palatino, Book Antiqua, Times New Roman, Georgia, Times]The We Are Family Foundation says its partners in the production are the Anti-Defamation League, Crown Theatres, Disney Channel, FedEx, Nickelodeon, HIT Entertainment, Nile Rodgers/Sony Publishing/The Bernard Edwards Estate/Warner Chapel, Nelvana, PBS, Scholastic, Sesame Workshop, Toni Mendez Shapiro Estate, and WGBH-TV in Boston. [/font]
[font=Palatino, Book Antiqua, Times New Roman, Georgia, Times]A Federal Express spokesman said the company is "proud" to provide shipping for the project. [/font]
[font=Palatino, Book Antiqua, Times New Roman, Georgia, Times]"Promoting diversity is part of our corporate culture at FedEx," said William G. Margaritis, senior vice president, worldwide corporate communications. [/font]
[font=Palatino, Book Antiqua, Times New Roman, Georgia, Times]Characters appearing in the video are from award-winning shows including "Arthur," "Barney," "Bear in the Big Blue House," "Between the Lions," "Blue's Clues, Bob the Builder," "The Book of Pooh," "Clifford the Big Red Dog," "Dora the Explorer," "Jimmy Neutron," "JoJo's Circus," "Kim Possible," "Lilo and Stitch: The Series," "Little Mermaid," "Madeline," "The Magic School Bus," "The Muppet Show," "The Proud Family," "Rugrats," "Sesame Street," "SpongeBob SquarePants," and "Zoom." [/font]
[font=Palatino, Book Antiqua, Times New Roman, Georgia, Times]The video also features cameo appearances by entertainers Bill Cosby, Diana Ross and Whoopi Goldberg. [/font]
