All they're doing is teaching that gay people exist and should not be bullied. What's so bad about that?

Really, you're afraid that this will make your children gay, which is a fundamental misunderstanding of the causes of homosexuality.

[Ma3lst0rm]

No it is a fundamental misunderstanding by you of human sexuality. This has no place being in public schools period. It is irrelevant to the issue of bullying and merely an effort to indoctrinate the children in acceptance of a deviant lifestyle of which it is only one. Please just leave the kids alone.

[givepropstotherich]

Really? I'm gay and even I wouldn't agree on this... no sexual orientation including straight should be taught in elementary school!

[camerondiazsucks]

This is why my children will never be in the public school system. The liberal indoctrination is absolutely unacceptable.

[roguetoaster]

Disgusting, kids have no buisness being taught anything about sex, much less gay propaganda. Inexcusable.

[MeTishaRoss]

hmzi really need to find somebody who clicks with me

[KnezFreakMan]

Wait, Alameda? That's were mythbusters are!

[rainbowheartgirl]

Deb, wow, what a strange and sad thing to say. First of all, gay and lesbian adopt children for the *exact same reason* that straight people do -- because they want to raise a family. Second of all, gay and lesbian people are not sterile. They conceive children as well as adopt children, not that it matters how a child comes into a family. The bottom line is that kids of gay and lesbian parents *exist* and we certainly attend school and deserve the same protections and respect as other kids.

[debbittybears]

Yes, they can adopt or foster other people's children.  And yes adoptive parents can be as loving as bioligcal parents. But two homosexual peopld CANNOT be biological parents. And I believe that their motives for adopting and fostering have more with their own need to "prove" their acceptability than a desire to be parents.

[rainbowheartgirl]

Deb, what are you talking about? Plenty of gay people have children! And their children attend school too. I was raised by two gay dads, and I went to school. My brothers and I deserved to be treated like any other children and our family deserved the same respect as any other family. Public school is for *all* kids, not just children from straight families and not just children from conservative families. You can teach your kids whatever you want, but school should be a place of mutual respect.

[debbittybears]

The problem is that people who CANNOT have their own children want to teach our children that their lifestyle choices are acceptable and normal. I don't like the discrimination and hate that comes from fear...but I think that parents should be allowed to teach their children the truth...that God's plan for happiness is that sexual relationships be kept within the bonds of marriage between a man and a woman.

[andwewas]

what the hell? They don't have required reading about interfaith marriage and/or interracial marriage.. why bring this stuff into the schools? GO back to just teaching the basics. Too much TIME and MONEY is wasted teaching about things that parents should be teaching their kids (if they choose too). The Government is getting WAY to large people.. What's it gonna be next? A required reading on a polygamist with 4 wives? Required reading on Vegans? dang..
