Jonah, as a father of two who sees way too much “SpongeBob” — even a few times when the kids weren’t watching — it’s a shame to see the show dragged into the culture wars in this way. I doubt that when this “We Are Family” video comes out, SpongeBob is going to recommend “Heather Has Two Mommies.” But the liberal groups that Nickelodeon is working with here — the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League — do have a long history of promoting gay-straight alliance programs and “families come in all lifestyles” lessons for young kids. The New York Times, ABC, and other media outlets obviously can’t resist turning this into Tinky Winky 2, another funny movie about how terrified the religious right is that their five-year-olds will go gay on the way home from kindergarten. But it only shows they aren’t willing to have an unbiased news story or a real debate about what young kids should or should not be taught about homosexuality in public schools or on television.
