Go get a bucket. Hell, get a bleeding dump truck. You'll need it.
Recently a website called MassResistance posted two clips (totaling almost 16 minutes) from a video produced by Women's Educational Media called It's Elementary. The clips can be found at:
http://www.massresistance.org/media/video/brainwashing.html
I would heavily recommend watching both of them. I realize that it may take a good while to download, but you should still watch both clips, all the way though. There are also four small clips (one of them, titled "Stomach," is included one of the two bigger clips) that can be viewed on the video's official website:
http://www.womedia.org/itselementary.htm, I'd take a moment to see them as well.
According to Women's Educational Media, It's Elementary is a "documentary for educators that shows how acknowledging gay and lesbian people in schools prevents prejudice and violence." More correctly, it's a documentary that shows a) how to brainwash children, and b) how easily children become pawns.
Children are easily swayed by what they are told, and, when subjected to biased information (in the case of It's Elementary, homosexual propaganda) how they are quick to accept, and furthermore defend, what they are told.
Generally speaking, kids cannot be expected to know more than they are told. They take the information given to them and accept it. You can't expect a child to research an issue.
You can tell a child that the moon is made of cheese, and they are likely to belie it. Certainly, they will later come to realize that this is not true, but at first, having no reason to belie otherwise, they will take what is told to them at face value. It must be true, because it is what they are told.
As children grow up, they continue to absorb more information, they begin to research for themselves, they begin to learn more and more. However, what they are told when they are children remains, and continues to influence their line of thought.
If, as they grow, they are continually subjected to more and more biased information on an issue, then they will only become more firmly rooted in their faith in it. Like unto clay, children as molded with ease, but as they clay hardens, it becomes harder to change it's form.
To shape a future, you shape children. To save a future, you must shape children to uphold good, steadfast morals.
Parents, grandparents, older brothers and sisters, aunts, uncles, godparents, priests, teachers: you hold the clay, how will you form it?
