No Sondheim, Michaelangelo or Cher FOR YOU!

Massresistance lastest post is about censorship. She offers links to parents who are concerned that their child might be exposed to anything even remotely gay. Get a load of the language in this "Opt-out Form":
My child(ren) should be excused from any and all instruction, field trips, presentations, performances, written material, supervised discussions, questioning, journaling, films, assemblies, or assignments addressing: sexuality, sexual orientation, sexual lifestyles, contraceptive options, abortion, or AIDS or HIV education without my prior notice, opportunity to review the above, and my written consent.
Can you see it now...
  • Ok class, we're going to talk about tennis champion Arthur Ashe, wait, Johnny, Susan you have to leave the room.
  • Today we're going to sing Cole Porter and Stephen Sondheim songs except for Johnny and Susan...
  • We're all going to read A Separate Peace, Billy Budd, Tea and Sympathy and The Color Purple except for Johnny...
  • In history we're going to learn about Alexander the Great and Greek Society as a basis for western democracy, except for Johnny...

Feel free to add your own.
