A.P.B.: Today show to cover NJ school district family diversity film ban

Published September 18th, 2007 in APB, Go hetero ally go!.

This just in from Dana, our gal at the Mombian desk:

Sources tell me the Today show tomorrow (Wednesday, September 19) on Thursday, September 20 will be covering the ongoing debate in the Evesham, New Jersey School District over whether to ban a diversity film that includes an LGBT family.

Check her post for the details.

I would expect that Today Show producers would recieve a mountain of mail following any coverage of the ongoing drama around the family diversity in the curriculum in the Evesham, New Jersey School district. I’m hoping that LGBT families and their allies can ensure that the better chunk of that mountain is made of love, rather than its opposite.

Further details on coverage to follow, at Mombian. My most recent bit on the whole broo-ha-ha is here.

[Updated on Wednesday morning; story pushed up "due to OJ coverage." Glad the commercial news media knows which real stories matter to people. ]

    Hieroglyphics alert! LD recently made the jump to WordPress 2.5.1, with which came hieroglyphics (–) everywhere in the archival material. I've weeded a coupla dozen posts, and continue to do more when I have time, but please be patient 'til I git the mechanic to git the rest of it outta here. Shouldn't be too long.

    Other maintainence work:Whilst I figure out how to make the best use of spiffy blogroll widgets and the new Links page, links on this home page will be a-shufflin' a bit. Good news: more of 'em, better organized (I think).

    Lesbian Dad Lesbian Dad is written by a parent who answers to the name "Baba" and works toward a world in which amor does indeed vincit omnia.

    Still curious? You'll find a ton more on the About page. Baffled by the lingo? Peruse the Glossary. For the proper immersion experience, I highly recommend a visit to the Best of LD.

Crazy fans would identify the song from the opening line 'School bag in hand.....' without using the link.
    • Lesbian Dad commented on O I just couldn’t resist saying Happy to say that our meager household was a part of that spike, when we contributed (again). That and No on 8, sister.
    • lizk commented on O I just couldn’t resist saying Yes! I was delighted to find this earlier today and sent it to several friends. Fun to sit back and watch them back themselves into a corner -- give them enough rope, etc. etc. BTW, I read that Palin's rant, er, speech, has caused a huge spike in donations to the Obama/Biden ticket.
    • Nelfy commented on O I just couldn’t resist saying hehe. thanks for posting this. I think I develop a tiny crush on jon stewart every time I see one of those clips. I should get one of those t-shirts "I'd go straight for jon stewart". ;-). I am always 'amused' by the double standards eg her daughter made the "choice" to have her baby
    • immoralmatriarch commented on O I just couldn’t resist saying Great minds, again. This is embedded in my blog post that's scheduled for tomorrow. :)
    • Lesbian Dad commented on And by point of contrast saying You people are stabbing a #2 pencil in my heart here, all the eloquence. Whatever shall we do. Before meandering down this primrose parenting path, I had no idea it would be a non-stop, daily exercise in how precious and precious little our time is. Sigh. Back to the harp music.
    • Shereen commented on And by point of contrast saying I KNOW. Our little one started grade one on Tuesday. Day one - trying not to bawl as she joined the lineup of students, and walked away from us into the classroom. Day two - trying not to bawl as she climbed away from us up the steps of the school bus. Every night -
