How else are we gonna have control in society and have the government determine what is acceptable in class and what is not? Afterall if you disagree with the government institution you should be repremanded imediatley.....right?

How many times must this be explained?

This is not an issue of teachers having open, planned discussions of sexuality with kindergarteners; This did not happen and is not happening.

David Parker's son simply picked out the book, Who Is a Family, which "catalogues a variety of multicultural contemporary family units, including those with single parents, lesbian and gay parents, mixed-race couples, grandparents and divorced parents," and brought it home to read.

Some families have a mom and a dad, some have only a mom or a dad, and some have two moms or two dads. Sometimes moms and dads don't live together. Sometimes kids have parents and step-parents. And sometimes kids live with their grandparents or another person who takes care of them.

Surely, a teacher should not take a position on whether any of these relationships or arrangements are right or wrong.

Therefore, should the subject of homosexual relationships spontaneoulsy arise, i.e. in the case of a student mentioning that he or she has gay parents, a teacher has the responsibility to teach that such relationships are not right or wrong, but simply different.

but do u think kids shoud be taught about homosexuality at that age?

Sure, I heard they're teaching The Art of Witch Sacrifice in grammar school in Massachussetts, too, because at one time it was legal.

Adam Poe i hear you, but your not seeing the bigger picture. This man was denoed that APLANNED.....let me say it one more time....A PLANNED meeting would not be denied and they would not notify him. But we are not just talking about this case. This is a microcasim of a much larger picture. When you can get arrested and fined a thousand dollars for insisting that teachers respect your wishes as a parent not to have....PLANNED....discussion on homosexuality there is something very wrong.
Its not just this case either. I have heard about teachers that had children recide muslim prayers to let the child be aware of islam and so they will be tolerant of it when they get older. How would you feel if a teacher made your child recite prayers to jesus christ? This is not just about this one case , this is about overall how the public school system is taking it upon themselves what to teach to the children is right and wrong, and that is not their job.
I will say it one more time, these kids need math and reading and writing skills allot more than they need to know somwhere out there a man and a man kiss like mommy and daddy do, and that their is a religeon where woman were masks over their faces and we should all be open and loving to them. Leave that for the parent to decide.
Otherwise open up your math books to page 1, its time to get serios about education.

With all due respect, what the **** does this translate to?

"ure an old person wanna be"

merriam webster 😉

I don't get it. From the "ure" all the way to the smilie.
How old do you consider old? Fifty? Fifteen?

You don't have to answer, this really is PM stuff and shouldn't be in this thread.

Well, I'm 29.

Back on topic, I know a few people who were homeschooled and though they are good people, they seem kind of sheltered.

that is for him to take up with the board of education, not make a homophobic spectacle of himself and disrupt that particular school.

No offense..but should we really be talking with 3 year olds about sexuality? I mean damb..I really think some common sense should be used in these topics. The whole idea of "accepting all lifestyles" I think has been blown out of proportion in the US. I believe everyone should be more "tolerant" yes..but as far as "accepting" I don't know about that..

Anyway..the Public schools really shouldn't have to be involved in this kind of subject. Parents should be teaching their kids this stuff. I hate when government forcefully mandates these teachings...and then tries to pass themselves off as being neutral on the subject..If they really want to be neutral..just don't bring it up at all..and let Parents decide what's best for their children.

I do believe the guy took the situation a little bit out of proportion..but I can understand his frustration. What right does the government have to tell him that he can't teach his child what he wants to teach him? That's completely insane. He really shouldn't have to go as far as the board of education to make a simple request such as "When the topic of sexuality comes up, I want my child taken out of class.." I mean damb..how much do they even talk about stuff like that in Elementary School? I'm almost certain that they set up definitive times to talk about things like that. If they don't, then I really think someone needs to evaluate what's going on in that classroom...seriously.

its amazing. you can tattoo the truth on their forheads and they'll still post with an arguement based entirely on assumption and not fact.
god forbid we should all take the time to read the article and know what the topic is about.

I'm really thinking that very few people have bothered to actually READ the article.

The kid checked out a book from the school library that showed many different kinds of families. THAT WAS ALL. The school was not teaching that homosexuality is right or wrong or anything. A teacher didn't make the kid check out that book, he did by himself.
