 News from Agape Press
WAFF also apparently removed references to same-sex families in a teacher's guide that was later mailed out to elementary schools.
WAFF announced the campaign last November, stating that it had produced a new music video for children based on the 1970s pop hit, "We Are Family." Using the voices and images of over 100 characters from children's television, a DVD version of the music video was created to promote a message of tolerance and diversity.
Wildmon agreed that families certainly should demonstrate love, sharing and caring, and furthermore that those sentiments are often extended to non-family members who are close enough that they "feel just like a member of the family."

“The DVD music video ‘We Are Family,’ which will be sent to 61,000 elementary schools across the nation, carries a positive message of tolerance and respect for differences.
However, the Website of the We Are Family Foundation (WAFF) contains elements that promote the acceptance of homosexuality, including a recommended reading list with such children’s books as ‘Heather Has Two Mommies’ and ‘Daddy’s Roommate.’ Such selections may be problematic for parents who do not believe homosexuality should be normalized.
According to the WAFF Website, it will be produced by the Anti-Defamation League, which is responsible for providing other pro-homosexual content for the WAFF site, including the above-mentioned reading list.

 AFA Journal: We Are Family Foundation Sponge Bob
Since the AP story stated that the video was intended to promote "diversity and tolerance in classrooms," I decided to examine the WAFF Web site to discover whether or not the issue of homosexuality was included.
AFA became concerned that, along with the innocuous content of a children’s video, public school teachers who were sympathetic to the homosexual movement might use WAFF materials to initiate a discussion of tolerance and diversity that would include homosexuality.
Unfortunately left out in Rodgers’ explanation was the fact that everything I mentioned in my original article – with the exception of the tolerance pledge – also had been removed from public access.
