@sharonrdh - Quite right. The problem with radical bills like this is that there is no consultration with parents. This bill will rewrite the history books to include the sexual orientation of historical figures, mandates sexual orientation in the adoption of social science instructional material, Inappropriately classifies lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals as a culture group, requires  unnecessary added costs of reprinting social science textbooks......more

Terrific testimony.

I DO NOT want a school, teaching children about sexuality, of this nature. It is an inappropriate topic for young children, and is a topic that should be reserved for parents. Passing this bill can open the door for future topics---possibly unchartered territory. We do not allow our kids to watch t.v. news, commercials, and most shows. A course in sexuality (straight or gay) is WAY TOO MUCH INFORMATION!

It would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around his neck than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin. ... This immoral culture is causing evil upon our children. Evil begets evil. Homosexuality is a sin and a mental disorder.

@Skulander1 My side experiences the same thing from your side. Difference is that we don't instigate nearly as much. I'm done with this for today before I have a stroke.

[Skulander1]

@uuumdm Well, good to hear we're on the same page about over-sexualization and disgusting adds (among other things). And I wish I could have you read some of the stuff I've read about gays and lesbians. About who I am. Then perhaps you would understand where the hurt, where the anger comes from. I keep hearing the most disgusting things and I'm not quite sure how I deserve all of this. And some people just flip out. Honestly. Some of us just can't take it anymore.

[Skulander1]

@uuumdm Well, I guess we'll have to see how this course turns out, and perhaps make changes if appropriate but I really, honestly do think this could lead to something very interesting. I'm sure there will be a way to account for the contributions of LGBT individuals without it being appropriate, in a way that kids can understand, and in a way that foster tolerance and understanding.

[uuumdm]

@Skulander1 I fight all those things with tooth and nail too. The people that perpetrate that are just as bad as all the violent SSM supporters I've talked about tonight. The LBGT is not the only thing I'm against.

[uuumdm]

@Skulander1 That's not what the bill is talking about though. And if it is talking about what you say it is; why can't that be done in higher education specific to the topic. And I still don't see how someone being gay is relevant to their place in history. Leonardo Divinci had arguments with Rapahel about this stuff. That doesn't have any effect on both of their contributions to art. Honesty is okay but this is ridiculous and superfluous.

@uuumdm I mean, look at all the sexual things that are directly marketed at girls as young as 8 years old... I really think it's unfair to say to the LGBT community that we want to indoctrinate kids and teach them stuff "wayyyy beyond their age" when 8 years old young girls are told it's absolutely appropriate to wear make-up...
