It is a act that would criminalize harassment or bullying in schools of children who are gay or who -- it criminalizes bullying. It basically makes federal funding dependent on school board policies that will not tolerate bullying of people based on their sexual orientation or, you know, even when kids are below puberty.

I mean if somebody gets bullied for having, gosh a low voice -- that's never happened to me. ... But I think one of the things why I don't support the act is because I think it's misplaced. They are things I'm willing to tolerate that I'm not willing to approve.

With respect to this particular agenda we have to recognize as parents that children tease each other because you're short or you're tall or you're a redhead or because you're ugly or because you're smart or because you're dumb or all kinds of differences and as parents we have to deal with that and strengthen our children to be comfortable with themselves and also to show empathy and acceptance towards others, but that particular act is so broad it would actually punish children and say that it's prohibited to express an opinion with respect to homosexuality in the schools. I just think that's wrong and it's a violation of the First Amendment.
