My daughter, who is 6, came home from school yesterday with a quarterly newsletter. As I was reading it I took notice that they are having a school wide day on April 24 called Rainbow Day. This shook me up a bit because I have noticed how homosexuality is being "supported" by schools across the country.
I did a search to find out if possibly this was a gay pride day or month or maybe I was just being paranoid. Well, I did find that when I put in the search terms April 24 gay pride, several websites came up showing that the nearest city to us (15 min away) has that whole week dedicated to black gay pride. This concerned me knowing that the town I am from likes to follow what this city does.
So, I take my daughter to school today and I asked her teacher what this Rainbow Day was and what my daughter was to be doing that day. Strangely the teacher acted like she didn't have a clue what this day was. Then she goes into the office (taking about 10 min) and comes out with 2 other teachers and all three are stammering on what to tell me.
Then they end up coming up with this grand answer of "Well, all the students are to wear brightly colored clothing that day and the closer to being a rainbow the better. But, even better, if the students could wear actual rainbows proudly that would work also.
Ok, am I paranoid or am I smelling a cover up to this being a gay pride or gay supportive day? I live in a small town that everything is hush hush and anything out of the ordinary is either covered up or brushed off.
I'm not trying to be a crazy parent here but I don't want my daughter participating in something that maybe supporting homosexuality. And believe me, I have nothing against rainbows. I think they are one of the most beautiful things that G-d has created.
