Lessons how to be gay for your kids!

Love between family members such as parent-child, or sibling-sibling, yes. Being "in love?" Not so much.

well then there's no harm and this whole ordeal can come to an end

Hopefully the right wing extremists take the hint that their world really has fallen apart - kindergarten teachers talking to 5 year olds about homosexuality. Who could imagine this in any way shape or form 15 year ago?

My advice to them: go in your backyard and dig a hole and keep digging until you find something more worthless than your opposition. You might just discover some of those dinosaur fossils you deny exist by the time you're done

It usually helps, if you're going to cast aspersions on anyone else's literacy, to be able to appear at least as literate as the one whose literacy you're trying to disparage.

Religion typically requires indoctrination because it asks people to accept things without question. Quality education encourages people to always ask questions. Hence why religion and quality education are often at ends with each other.

What questions are these young children suppose to ask? Answer is,they shouldn't be.

um like what?

Would it kill you to read my response to the same exact question several posts prior? :lol:

There's not much harm, I'll give you that. But I'm sure most people here agree that only a certain amount of sex education is appropriate at different grade levels. (And yes, an important part of it should be to teach kids that some people are gay and that it isn't wrong. It just needs to be an age-appropriate lesson.)

I didn't see anything in the article that was not age appropriate.

Well that is your judgement, and that's fine, others may not agree.

As I mentioned in earlier posts, a couple of things were marginal, but I would agree that nothing went completely "overboard."

Your judgement in what is marginal is expert?

Discouraging questioning pretty much negates the purpose of education in its entirety.

Actually, I may have been thinking about Strong's remarks to "grade 5" students instead of the kindergarten class. At that age (10 or 11 in Canada, too?), they wouldn't have been quite as bad.

Regardless, the meaning of 'LGBTQ' is far too complex for a kindergartener to understand. Even adults "being in love" is alien to kids that age.

No, really it isn't. Kids understand a lot more than you and many adults give them credit for, especially if you explain it in their terms. They can easily understand "being in love" in relation to people they have seen like that. I have children. I've taken care of many children before that. It isn't that difficult to see how much they really can and do understand if people actually talk to them rather than above, around, or about them.

 

[roguenuke]

Love between family members such as parent-child, or sibling-sibling, yes. Being "in love?" Not so much.

And you are wrong. I'm telling you that children can understand that parents being in love, adult relationships are different than those relationships found between siblings or parent/child or other family members. They may not know details or exactly what makes them different (many adults don't always recognize everything that makes them different), but they recognize there is a difference.

gay people exist get married and have normal family's how is that not age appropriate for 5 year olds?

if any of their classmates have gay parents, it will be discussed with or without the teacher's participation or any adult's permission. I think it was by 2nd grade, possibly earlier, we started visiting each other's houses. Surely by that time everyone would know. Adults not explaining it only leads to confusion

We're not talking about sex ed either, as if we want them to say "use plenty of lube kids."

It was approached from a historical (world history) perspective. It is difficult to discuss the emergence of world religions and not discuss what those religions are.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with that.

In terms of a book portraying two moms or two dads? It is reality. No more no less. I have more problems with Disney and the wholesale murder of parents. Seriously, Wtf is up with Disney making their characters orphans. If you are going to split a family up, throw in a divorce here and there.:shock:

The story is that Walt Disney felt guilty about his mothers death.
After the success of Snow White Walt and his brother, Roy bought her a new house.

The elder Disneys had been in their new home less than a month when tragedy struck. A defective furnace caused Flora's death by asphyxiation [from carbon monoxide poisoning] on the night of November 26, 1938. Walt and Roy were devastated, blaming themselves because their mother's death had happened in the house they had bought. Walt was sensitive about the tragedy until the end of his life.

Why do some kids not have a mommy and daddy? Is that bad?

Seems pretty obvious.

Last year, three of us mothers started getting together in San Diego with our three Kindergarteners, plus two preschoolers (two of us had two kids), having play dates, going to each other's houses, doing other things together. And there were at least one or two other mothers occasionally to join in. Other groups of mothers could easily be seen grouping off as well. Not too hard to imagine such things in many areas, mothers and even some fathers meeting each other and taking the kids out places throughout the school year. There are plenty of parents my age who wouldn't leave out the lesbian mothers or gay fathers just because our kids might have questions about their being together.

Tolerance is something that is fine and should be part of education. Ssm is, however, iffy with the strong religious implications it has. It would be okay in a private school. But in a public one? It sounds like a breach of constitutional rights to me and is not acceptable in a secular society.

SSM is actually not a religious issue. It's more of a discrimination/rights issue. It's the RELIGIOUS who make it a religious issue. As long as it's presented in a secular way, it bypasses the religious aspect altogether and is not a problem.

It's bizarre how some of you analyze what happened here.

It's bizarre how some of you don't analyze what happened, instead projecting your own biases into the situation.

Should is irrelevant and doesn't actually exist. It is quite possible that they may ask questions.

Many people are in favor of indoctrinating young children to believe a sadistic sky man created homosexuals but will torture them for all of eternity for being homosexual.

In a society that hadn't gone mad, sick, evil perverts like this would not be allowed anywhere near children, and at the very least, would be facing severe criminal charges for corrupting the morals of minors.

You can certainly see the stage being set here, for one of the next upcoming steps in removing the hateful and discriminatory stranglehold the religious have had on our society.

BTW: Comparing consensual adults making a free market contract with each other to child rape makes you look really pathetic and desperate.

Religion is a man made institution. Religion certainly was not made by God. It was created by powerful people who seek to maintain their power by ascribing such power as being from God in an effort to give themselves an air of authenticity.

People need to wake up and accept the fact that homosexuality is a naturally occurring phenomenon as has been noted with other animals and other creatures. You can no more than change your sexual orientation than you can change your body type.
