"tolerance and diversity"
This just in. According to James Dobson of Focus on the Family, "'tolerance and diversity'" "are almost always buzzwords for homosexual advocacy" and thus should be rejected. Dobson calls the Sponge Bob video advocating "tolerance and diversity" nothing more than "homosexual propaganda," which of course according to Dobson is bad. Almost in the same sentence he says it's parents's duty to "train up" youngsters in some sort of warped world view that he espouses in which bad is good and war is peace, etc. He cites some biblical passage that the role of parents or schools isn't to teach such silly ideas as "tolerance and diverstiy" but rather to rear them "in the fear and admonition of the Lord"--no propaganda there at all. Dobson even has the gall to write that his concern over the Sponge Bob video arose because, "What is vitally important, however, are the children of this country and the effort being made to manipulate them for political purposes." Yeah, that's why the good Dr. Dobson waited until the Bush inaugural to express his concern about the Sponge Bob video.
