Conservative Radio Personality Steps Down from 'Diversity Committee'

(AgapePress) - A popular conservative radio talk-show host has temporarily resigned from the diversity committee of the Broward County, Florida, school district.
While on the Diversity Committee, local talk-show host Steve Kane was instrumental in getting the controversial tolerance video "We Are Family" barred from classrooms in Broward County. But Kane's opposition to the video drew strong criticism from the Anti-Defamation League and other pro-homosexual groups.
Kane, a born-again Christian, says his decision to step down from the school district committee was a strategic move. He believes the liberal groups wanted to use his presence on the committee to shut it down.
"I compare these gay activists in the Broward County school system to malaria," he says. "It's like they lie dormant in your system for a couple of years; and then, every two or three years they make a big push to try to get in, and at that time you have to beat them back."
And once again, he says, the activists were unsuccessful. "I mean, they didn't accomplish anything they wanted to accomplish," he points out.
The radio host says it is akin to a "chess game" when dealing with homosexual activists. "They were putting a tremendous amount of focus and hatred and vitriol into attacking me, and I knew their real objective was the Diversity Committee," he explains. "And because I am a born-again Christian, I wasn't getting that much support when the attack was on me."
According to Kane, the ADL has become a "front group" for homosexual activists and groups like the Gay, Lesbian, Straight Education Network (GLSEN) that want the "We Are Family" video in schools. He says he plans to return to the Diversity Committee in November.
Kane's radio show airs on WWNN (1470 AM) every weekday morning in South Florida.
