Jonah’s e-mailer claims “Nothing demonstrates how this issue unhinges people better than Graham’s assertion that straight kids might consider gay marriage an option for themselves if they’re taught about homosexuality in school.” First, to be accurate, it is Prager’s point, even as I agree with it. What is illogical about the notion that children might choose “gay marriage” if it’s presented to them with moral neutrality as A, or why not B? Didn’t this writer read Walter Cronkite today?
Regardless of the actual results, the idea of public school classrooms preaching this moral equivalence and relativism on homosexuality — and I do mean “preaching” — seems to an Old Testament-revering believer like offering children (in terms of their salvation) a stark choice between eternal life and death as if it were a choice between Coke and Pepsi.
