A video used to teach junior school students about diverse families will no longer be shown after some parents mounted an aggressive campaign against if for including a depiction of same-sex couples.

The Evesham Township School District, in southern New Jersey, voted 7-1 to discontinue using the video, "That's A Family," because had so divided the community.

The tape was shown last school year to third grade students at J. Howard Van Zant School. It included various types of parents and families - divorced, bilingual, mixed race, parents who have adopted, and step-parents.

But it was the same-sex couple featured that angered parents.

Do these people know that NJ recognizes same sex unions and may soon recognize "same sex marriage"? Must have there heads in the sand. Never could understand people trying to protect their children from the reality of the world they will live in.
