NCAA Pulls Focus on the Family Ad From Web Site - Uses Marriage as the excuse.

In the current zeitgeist, emotion, secularism and sheer intimidation trump reason, tradition, and truth. Watch the above interview and note how the woman equates blithly support for traditional marriage with hatred of homosexuals. The NCAA used as it's offical excuse for pulling this benign add it's anti-discrimination policy. The handwritting is on the wall, everyone who does not bend to gay identity politics will be driven from the public square and silenced by any means neccesary.

DENVER — The National Collegiate Athletic Association has yanked a Focus on the Family ad from one of its Web sites. Bob Williams, an NCAA spokesman, said Wednesday the move came after some faculty and athletic directors expressed concerns that the Focus on the Family stance against gay relationships conflicted with the NCAA's policy of inclusion regardless of sexual orientation. The ad was not on that subject. It featured a father and son and the words, "All I want for my son is for him to grow up knowing how to do the right thing."

Focus on the Family spokesman Gary Schneeberger says “What that tells us,” says Schneeburger, “is that we’re not allowed to advertise our family help services because we have biblical values on issues like marriage.” And if such material were “all of a sudden labeled hate speech,” he says “we have deeper problems in our country than we even know.”

Schneeburger points out that Focus spends 90 percent of its budget on parenting and marriage resources, and only 10 percent advocating on behalf of the unborn and for traditional marriage. The supposedly controversial Super Bowl ad featuring Tim Tebow and his mother, Pam, was part of Focus’s “Celebrate Family – Celebrate Life” campaign.

  1. We, as a society, are letting a tiny fraction of the population bully us to the point where we can't even talking about marriage, fatherhood, and motherhood without them shouting us down and claiming we are wishing them dead. We stand up to them at the ballot box, and it is time we stood up to them everywhere else.
