percy: i think that kid may have been wearing the button because apparently her parents are also same sex wimmins, and they are apparently getting married in 2 weeks.
to the topic - as for whether i think it's right or wrong, it's tough to say based on one article. in a vacuum, i'd have to say that i'd draw the line between a one day affair and a constant daily indoctrination. a same sex wedding would seem to be potentially relevant, particulary given san fran's local politics. you could potentially make it into an interesting discussion topic, i would think. i think i'd feel the same about kids going to a religious ceremony or a secular event, but it all depends on context. this thing sounds like the kids thought it was kind of neat, and maybe they were able to discuss the concept with their families before and after. maybe not a bad thing.
could be you could handle creationism like this. have a field trip where the kids go to a local church and are exposed to a creationist viewpoint with their science class, but the creationism isn't necessarily a part of their curriculum...
edit: the majority of the post wasn't directly specifically at percy - editted to make that clear.
