Free Yourself...
Dear Education Secretary Margaret Spellings:
Why are you a homophobe? And why are we spending our hard-won tax-dollars to pay you to misinterpret the commonly-held definitions of diversity and tolerance? They include people of all races, ethnicity, religion, gender, age, and sexual orientation, dear. You’d think you could find more to do on your second day on the job than go after “Postcards from Buster” for showing a family that has lesbian mothers. Have you ever even seen the show? It’s quite sweet, really – and they have visited evangelical Christians and Mormons on previous shows, so you can’t accuse them of favoring a liberal “agenda.”
Instead of wading into the stupid culture wars, how about making sure that the nation’s schools are well-supplied and that its teachers are well-paid? My wife and I end up donating a fair amount of money each year to our son’s school PTA for classroom supplies, to pay assistant teachers, and to hold arts, science, and Spanish classes. This is on top of the high taxes we pay to the city, state, and feds.
So, I respectfully request that you stop demonizing gay people, get yourself to a diversity training workshop pronto, and publicly seek forgiveness from all Americans for your disgustingly un-American display of ignorance and hatred.
Your fellow American,

And she should remember that without diversity, she'd be barefoot, pregnant and in the damn kitchen.
That would be for the common people, not the conservative elite...
She wouldn't be allowed to be a conservative elite. Her husband wouldn't allow it. And, taking the advice of Jethro Kloss, she wouldn't be allowed to read novels either, as they would be too upsetting for her little mind. In fact, she may not be allowed to read at all.
And just because there are two mothers, who says that makes them lesbians? Maybe one is the father with a sex change. Think outside the box!
