James A. Farley Middle schoolers rally behind SpongeBob
James A. Farley Middle School students in Stony Point, New York, sported SpongeBob SquarePants pajamas or pants in support of the cartoon character's right to be himself. We told you last week about SpongeBob being under fire by right-wing Christian wackos for being gay. SpongeBob Support Day was the idea of seventh-grade class president Jordan Uffer. "He's a cartoon," the 12-year-old Uffer says. "I felt there was no reason for them to say that he was homosexual, and there isn't a real difference between gay people and not-gay people. We're all human beings."
