During a celebration of National Ally Week, Tara Miller, a teacher at the Faith Ringgold School of Arts and Science in Hayward, Calif., passed out cards produced by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network to her class of kindergartners. These cards asked students to be allies by not using anti-LGBT language or slurs, to intervene in situations where others are using anti-LGBT language or harassing other students, and to actively support safer schools efforts.
After parents and members of the school board complained, the school acknowledged that the exercise was not appropriate for kindergartners. The ally pledge cards were intended for middle school and high school students.

I don't think that people are ever too young to be an ally or to learn tolerance, but I feel that this petition is way too advanced. I think if the teacher wanted to do something for ally week she could have read a book (there are many LGBTQ childrens books) or talked about respecting people in general.
