I withdrew my son from school

I'm really frustrated right now. Yesterday, my son came home from kindergarten. Unbeknownst to me, yesterday they brought in two gay men and explained to the children that it's ok to be homosexual. My son came home and asked me questions about marrying boys, and I had a talk with the teacher, and finding out that it's true, I withdrew him immediately. What do you think of this, and what would you have done?

Wow....They did that while they're still in Kindergarten?

I think its important for children to learn this but that age is far to young you did the right thing in my opinion.

😑 it sounds really weird..
i understand that tolerance is important..but somehow..it sounds strange..they shouldn't show kids the homesexual model of the family as a better one..😕

in short words: i think you did good

What a creepy school.

i'd have done the same thing...

thats wacked. I undertsnad in grade 8 or 9 but kindergarten???

There is a point where children need to be made aware of homosexuality, but Kindergarted age is too young for them to fully understand I think, even if the school think it is reasonable to do so they should have at least asked the parents permission to do so. When I was at school we had sex-ed classes at about 11, but we had to have parents permission to go into these classed - I think ALL the parents allowed this (I guess it saves them a job). I think you should point out to the school that they should have asked for parents permissions and they should now make all the parents aware of what they did, albiet retrospectively, as not all the kids would have asked their parents questions so some parents will not be aware of what they did.

my god .....as if thats mad ...

I have trouble actually believing this story. What city was this in? If it was San Francisco, Atlanta, or a handful of other cities, it may sound more plausible.

😑
Well I think is better for the kids to learn about homosexuality when they're young, it makes it easier to uinderstnad it, if they learn about it when they're in eigth grade, they'd have their head "prgrammed" by then, it would be harder to understand it and accept it at that age

way too young to even be considering teaching them about homosexuality.
its too young to be teaching them about any form of sexuality tbh!

Where did this happen? This is such a strange story that I'm sure someone would have reported it to the authorities or news. I'm a little sceptical, I think most people(yes, even homosexuals) have enough common sense to realize how inappropriate this was.

Like I said I'm a little sceptical of this story. What did the principal say? What did other parents say?

I think you did the right thing.Bring in that sort of thing is a no no.Specailly in KA.I mean it is bad enough we have people like that but for a school to force someone to learn it.
Well to me it is horrible.Good choice!JMthumbsuptomato

Is just Education and just explane to him about it (what you have done) You shouldn't take him out of kindergarden, thats abit too much...

Just talk to the other parents about it, there no point taking him out, its not a big thing or anthing

I mean it is bad enough we have people like that

It never ceases to amaze me, the accepting and loving nature of the christian heart.

don't pain us all with one brush if you don't mind...

Exposing your son to that sort of media at such a young age will confuse him. If I were in your position I'd probably do the same thing and then complain to the Board.

I think people should be allowed to make up their own mind as they grow up, and as for the school, I'd sue their asses for not sending out consent forms. Its like "Well if youre not a supporter of gay rght and we cant change YOUR minds, we'll shove our beliefs down the throats of your pre school aged children!"

I think the people to whom that was intended got the message. It was not a general brush stroke, but a particular jab.
