Dale Schowengerdt: ADF comments on first day of Federal Prop. 8 trial

ADF Attorney Dale Schowengerdt writing at the Christian Post: “The four plaintiffs also got on the stand and gave testimony. We decided to cross examine only one of those witnesses, which ADF senior counsel Brian Raum conducted very effectively. Brian focused on the fact that what the campaign argued when it said Prop 8 would protect children was that it would help preserve the right of parents to decide what their kids are exposed to and when. He played the campaign’s ads demonstrating that very young children received lessons on same-sex ‘marriage’ in Massachusetts public school after the state’s high court redefined marriage, and that parents were denied the right to object. He also played an ad describing an outrageous incident in which first graders were taken on a ‘field trip’ to a same-sex wedding in San Francisco, presided over by Mayor Gavin Newsome, culminating in Newsome’s infamous comment that it was a ‘teachable moment.’”
