Is marriage really taught in schools and will Prop 8 affect that?

As for Marriage being taught in schools, perhaps you are not familiar with the case in Massachusets where a Kindergartner was taught that same-sex marriage was an equal choice to traditional marraige through the book, "A King and a King," which shows two men kissing on the last page. THe child came home and told mom and dad about this "silly book" at school.

The family requested to be notified next time the topic was taught so that they could also have a family discussion.

The school refused, the school board and the family lost a court case as well, because as a state the society decided that marriage had a new definition.
A video with a source on this exact case can be seen at:

SAN FRANCISCO in our own California has another example where a first grade field trip was taken to a lesbian wedding. The news article from TV that day can be seen at:

Cheer it or boo it - there are deep consequences to ponder before you vote on Prop 8.

I am YES on 8.
