Yes, your contagious it seems.

Do you really want kids to learn about something that is sick.jm

The problem with that sentence is the word "sick" - since there is nothing sick about it. Homosexuality or heterosexuality are not taught in schools until the correct age is reached. But when it is both heterosexuality and homosexuality deserve recognition during the sexual education portion of ones studies (P.E/P.D they call it in Australia's high schools - Personal Development.)

Your views being taught would be similar to imposing "Dark Ages" thinking on a university.

I knew someone once who was gay but didn't think it was wrong, and he stopped the minute he found out it wasn't right in the bible so there is no excuses

Incorrect. Studies of such individuals have found, if I remember rightly, that they were either bisexual (and thus equally capable of being sexually happy with a women as a man) or suppressed their natural sexuality. They never stop being gay, they just manage to hide it really, really well.

Um, F.Y.I.
I go to a catolic school, and it was a religon class assignment.
And the assignment was to figure out how many different races are gay, and why it should be stopped among all of them.
Because according to my teacher, who has been a nun for 26 years, says it's wrong to marry the same sex, and she thinks it should be banned.
No offense to anybody

I think if I didn't have such a strong world weary and cynical streak that might affect me deeply. The idea of children be educated in such a way... it feels so very wrong. So very, very wrong.

Why should kids be force to know that it is good or normal?What if the kids are againt it and think it is a sin?Why should those kids be force to learn about gays if they don't argee with it?jm

Children should be as fair and objective as possible be educated about homosexuality. If children are ignorant and unfamiliar with certain concepts then they will simply lack the intellectual tools necessary to fully understand and evaluate what they are hearing, thus making it more likely that they adopt a very bizarre and/or extreme point of view.

I don't think schools are going to obligate kids to think homosexuality is good, in my opinion all schools should do is teach children to respect people that are different from them, regardless of their sentiments to them.

That is true but why not let there parents tell the kids about gays instead?Being different in gay matter is hard to get along with others that are gay and can help it.
While others that are hannicap or blind or can't hear you do not act different infront of them.Do you see wha I am saying.jm

Why not let the parents tell the kids? Because a considerable amount of people in the United States find homosexuality repulsive, if kids are not taught by someone to respect homosexuals it's no surprise that they'll be hostile towards them and that is utterly unacceptable.

It is the choices of there parents to teach there kids not some gay praise teacher.Got to get to class.jm

But if the kid is going to make fun or be hostile in any way to another gay kid, or a kid whose parents are gay the school has to intervene. Do you not agree?

Yes but I still don't like the idea of a teacher telling the kids about gays.And that is normal it is forcing them to believe it.Brainwashing too is one thing they wil do.It is not right,.jm

Well, why? Do you think they'll learn to be gay? Or, go to hell for not hating them?

What amazes me the most about...certain individuals on KMC is that they believe that Yahweh Elohim, the creator of the heavens and the Earth and the one who existed before there was time, sent His only son to die for the sins of humanity, that rapists, child molesters, murderers, thieves, and worse might be absolved of their sins...except for gays.

Nope, homos go straight to hell.

That's what they said about Sex Education.

Very Good Question Jm...

But let me ask you...why should Athiest and Agnostics be forced to learn about religion in school, and why should they be forced to say "under god" in the Pledge of Allegiance ?

It goes both ways JM..

I think EVERYTHING should be taught...not just one way of thinking. The more the learn, the smarter you become, and an open mind is greater than anything else on this Earth.

I beleive we should learn about ALL RELIGIONS, not just one, and i thnk we should all be educated on the EXISTANCE of various sexual orientations, not just the one you favor.

Parents will not do a good job teaching about homosexuals, because most parents will simply teach thier children how "disgusting" homosexuality is, therefore causing thier children to grow up homophobic and bias.

Schools will teach the topic of homosexuality in an objective manner, so that kids can actually LEARN about people who are different from themselves, not just end up hating them because thier parents tell them 2.

I think it would be great for these reasons:

1) You can't teach someone to be Gay. They either ARE or thier NOT.

2) The less you know about someone the harder it will be to handle an encounter with that person. Wouldn't you rather learn MORE ABOUT Gay poeple so that you may encounter them more appropriately? Or are you just satisfied with ignoring them and telling them how disgusting you think they all are ? 🙄

Are you simply happy being a bigot ? If so, then fine. Be that way. Otherwise, open your mind and realize that you do NOT know everything, and there are facts and truths that have yet to be discovered, and there is MORE TO LIFE than what you beleive it to be.

Neither.Parents have the say in what they can be taught in school.And why in a public school should they be taught sometihng they don't like?jm

But then some people might object to Algebra. Or History. Or certain parts of history. Or Philosophy. Or Sports. And it is not jsut the decision of the parents. The Society wants it's members to be well informed and knowledgable. Homosexuality is an important topic without a doubt.

What you mean is this:Homosexuality is not an important topic without a doubt.

What the hell? Of course it is important. There are millions of people living in your country that are denied basic freedoms. That is important.
