State Senate committee approved a bill to ban teachers from discussing homosexuality with students who have not yet entered the ninth grade.

Kinda ridiculous, and a double standard obviously. I'm pretty sure it's considered appropriate to talk about anything relating heterosexuality up 'till then. Poor gay kids.

Also, this title was kinda misleading.

wait, so world history classes can't point out that most of the roman army were gay or bi-sexual? Kind of stupid.

First of all, extremely misleading thread title.

Second, is there sex educatoin before the 9th grade in the state? If not, then this is would seem just fine. No point of talkign abut homosexuality if sexuality hasn't been talked about in the first place.

It is still wrong, because if a 8th grade student comes to a teacher with questions on why he thinks boy x is cute, or female thinks girl y is hott they cannot discuss it and explain to them why.

Yeah sorry, I thought I copied the article headline but apparently I copied the youtube video title instead.

Well, that's another thing they should fix. From personal experience I can guarantee kida are already facing sexuality and sexual issues starting from 11-12, so the 9th grade is way too late. Plus, homosexuality doesn;'t have to be discussed in a sexual context (for example saying John has a boyfriend is no more sexual than saying he has a girlfriend).

It's still not allowed, according to the bill.

Actually the problem is that kids in the US are just too fucking sheltered, becasue the foundation of most US culture is based off of ignorance.
