Must see VIDEO: Gunn High School sings away Westboro Baptist hate group
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEiwBCpiA0E&feature=player_embedded

When the Kansas hate group known as the Westboro Baptist Church announced they would picket Bay Area schools and Jewish institutions, students at Gunn High School decided they could not sit by quietly.

Those kids and their teachers are outstanding. TY so much for posting this, Bluebear.

9. Very Cool! Thank you for posting this!
Great kids, great town, great school! It's the best way to smack the slime down, overpower their pitiful little family protest with song - or with laughter - I recall one group mocked the phelpsians until they turned tail and ran.

10. The stories this week about bullying and rape are discouraging but
then we see these youth and I am feeling very optimistic about the future. So proud of them.

13. That's how most kids are in the San Francisco bay area towards sexuality...
and thus, will go the nation. Now if we can get them to take up the issue of poverty, 40-50 years from now, we might catch up to modern day Europe.

These young people really understand tolerance. They live Christ's example better than Phelps ever could.
