I withdrew my son from school

6 might idd be a bit young, however I do not think anyone here has enough expertise to even big and make a decision on that.

aware maybe Corran, but being able to deny your child from learning the basic value that all humans are equal I do not think a parent should have that right

What if Jimmy and his best friend Stevie go around school at 6 years old proclaiming they're a "gay couple" just because they are best friends and that they are too young to fully understand all the aspects of the relationship?

well I already covered my position on the age thing.

idd the 'when' part is tricky, but if you are gonna keep giving parents the possibility (wiv those damn permission slips) to keep denying it then I fear some will do it. so maybe at the age of 11 there shouldn't be anymore permission slips

Link I doubt they'll "have a bigger chance to grow up gay" (an idea which I don't believe in) from one meeting in Kindergarten

half of them prolly already forgot it by the time they are 12

Well that's your belief.

My belief is that sexual orientation is a direct result of the environment that you grow up in and not by "genetics" or "choice"

If a child, at a young age, was brought up to believe that being gay was "the norm" then that child, IMO, is more inclined to grow up gay.

It's my opinion that these children are being introduced to this subject entirely too early...they should atleast be in grade school...preferably middle school.

How do you explain being gay to a pack of 5-6 year olds?

"Well kids, being "gay" means that either two boys like eachother or two girls like eachother"

Young boys think girls have "cooties" why wouldn't they think "being gay" is "cool" when all of their best friends are gay. You can't talk about the subject without an understanding of what that relationship involves...

What' s the difference with Jimmy and Susie going around at 6 years old proclaiming they' re a married heterosexual couple?

Very good point ✅ and that does happen with 5 and 6 year olds, too.

I'm not explaining it to them Link, I'm not qualified so

Guys have cooties as well 😛

Most children grow up in a family with heterosexual parents and this is shown to be the norm to them. What's the problem with them also learning that homosexuality is normal? A kid knowing that being gay is okay doesn't mean they're gonna go "I think I'll be gay when I get older!" But then again, I don't believe that it's a choice.

(and does anyone besides me think this story is complete BS? Because this is the sort of thing that would be all over the news, in the states at least....)

IN this day and age society is more open to gays anyway. So kids are bound to learn about them without schools having to teach them about it

If you'd have taken the time to read page one of this thread, you would have seen it's validity was doubted from the beginning.

Maybe Richard Dublin will come on again

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?

You're damn right they do.

Guys are the ones who start with cooties, but they can pass them to girls like an STD by pulling their pony tails. ✅

I did read the whole thread.

i bet those 2 gay men were trying to turn your son gay and the rest of the kids. All those gays are alike.

Absolutely, that was their goal 👆 🙄

OMG! A school teaching kids tolerance and acceptance!! What are they thinking!?

I would have withdrawn my kid so fast he'd have gotten whiplash in the progress...check out the private schools

It's a parents responsibility to teach their kids about that kind of stuff. I've also heard about some of that kind of stuff going on. They use the guise of tolerance, but that isn't their real agenda.

There is always home schooling too.
