Yeah. Everyone wants their kindergartners pledging not to use anti-lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender language.
October 31, 2008 - "School Clams Up on 'Gay' Pledge Cards Given to Kindergartners"
The district said the pledge cards were intended for middle school and high school students.A California school system refuses to say what action, if any, it will take after it received complaints about a kindergarten teacher who encouraged her students to sign "pledge cards" in support of gays.

During a celebration of National Ally Week, Tara Miller, a teacher at the Faith Ringgold School of Arts and Science in Hayward, Calif., passed out cards produced by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network to her class of kindergartners.
The cards asked signers to be "an ally" and to pledge to "not use anti-LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) language or slurs; intervene, when I feel I can, in situations where others are using anti-LGBT language or harassing other students and actively support safer schools efforts."
The school has acknowledged that the exercise was not appropriate for kindergartners.

Dear Teacher,
Why don't you leave us alone and let us be children? And take your stupid politics to Berkeley or someplace else. What's wrong with kindergartners having a safe and protected childhood?
Thank you,
Jennifer
