The conservative evangelical group American Family Association is at it again - "it" meaning being completely nuts. Yes, they are speaking out against a school program called "Mix It Up at Lunch Day" and asking parents to boycott it by keeping their children home from school that day - October 30th.
This is the 11th year that this day has taken place. It was started by the Southern Poverty Law Center 11 years ago, with the intent being to break kids from their social cliques for lunch that afternoon - to sit and talk to someone or a group of kids they normally wouldn't to hopefully decrease the level of bullying that was taking place. I know - this sounds like a very controversial event, doesn't it?
According to the American Family Association, it is. The AFA sees far beyond what I'm seeing as the actual intent of "Mix It Up at Lunch Day," for according to them, it's about "a nationwide push to promote homosexual lifestyle in public schools." No, I'm not making this up.
Bryan Fischer, director of issue analysis for the American Family Association, continued with these lovely words - "The reality is we are not a hate group. We are a truth group. We tell the truth about homosexual behavior."
I'm a "truth group" too - AFA should no longer stand for American Family Association. It should stand for Angry F**king A**holes. Do these demented imbeciles not realize that gays aren't the only ones who get bullied? Race, gender, social class, height, weight, glasses, intelligence, attire, demeanor, personality, religion, political affiliation, family, friends, the list, much like the Energizer bunny, keeps going and going and going.
I have a question for the AFA - was Jesus not about kindness, love, acceptance, forgiveness and generosity? When it comes to schools trying to prevent kids from bullying others with the annual program "Mix It Up at Lunch Day," what do you think Jesus would have to say about that?
Oh, that's right, Jesus said in the book of Matthew 22:7, "I love everyone and especially love when kids push, tease and bully each other - those pussies."
