As OneNewsNow recently reported, students from Chicago's Nettlehorst Elementary School participated in Sunday's "gay pride" parade. School officials claim the school did not endorse the event, but said that some parents were allowing their children to march in the parade. Those parents were not barred from using the school's name in the event, which Laurie Higgins of the Illinois Family Institute contends amounts to a backdoor endorsement.
Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality observed the event. "The Nettlehorst administrators are equivocating on this issue," he says. "They're trying not to take responsibility for allowing their school to be in the parade, and Nettlehorst elementary, a big banner for their contingent, was at the parade. They were the first contingent to march."
LaBarbera notes that the parade featured things like a float for a pornography business, public nudity, and vulgarity, and he says it was clearly inappropriate for children.
"It is interesting to see not just in the parade, but watching the parade, how many parents in Chicago now -- I'm talking straight, married parents, I assume -- bring their kids to watch it," he points out. "Sort of a big spectacle that, obviously, a lot of Chicago parents take their kids to, and it's just a shame to see it."
He adds that it is tragic that a school would allow its name to be used to promote such an event.
