Banning Republican Adoption
By Nathan NewmanWith recent bills by anti-gay forces to ban adoption by gays, it was only a matter of time before the potential parenting skills of all manner of groups come under fire.
Ohio State Senator Robert Hagen has introduced a bill to bar Republicans from adopting children or becoming foster parents, since as he argues:

“[C]redible research’’ shows that adopted children raised in Republican households are more at risk for developing ``emotional problems, social stigmas, inflated egos, and alarming lack of tolerance for others they deem different than themselves and an air of overconfidence to mask their insecurities.’’Hagan admits that he has no scientific evidence to support the above claims, but then he notes, neither do those who argue gays are a threat as parents.
As a teacher, I see so many children that need a stable home environment. If a responsible adult is willing to adopt a child and provide a loving, safe home, then they should be able to regardless of sexual orientation or political party.
