I am surprised you guys are pissed about this and not why homosexuality isn't in the "family life curriculum," in the first place.

I actually wanted to write about that, but you beat me to it. Damn homophobes. Trying to hijack "family life".


Well, technically you can't have a natural family if you are a homosexual couple, so given the label it does what it says it is.

So? Saying something like that also demeans heterosexual couples who can't concieve children. It even demeans adopted children, and stresses that they're not "really" part of the family. Of course these peopel don't take that into account, because they only really want to hurt and demean gays at all costs.


Well if they call it family life, and insist on it being natural, then yes, it will be insulting to thos groups. It's tough, but that is reality. If they want to talk about raising children, then call it somethinig else.

I really really dislike those people.


As I mentioned, in my edit:

You should be pushing for a program other than the one labeled "family life curriculum" to account for those people.

I agree. There are plenty of gay couples who would be far better parents than many heterosexual parents. There will also be many homosexual coupples who are worse parents than many heterosexual couples.

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.

I don't think that secenrio would ever happen.Most of the time a teacher would'nt even  talk about such things to there students,for fear of a parent freaking out and then it would be a fight between that parent and the teacher.

While I think that it is odd to ban the discussion of anything in school, I would also think that the discussion of homosexuality outside of dedicated sexual education courses (when children are under a certain age) has far more to do with political indoctrination than it does with education; and I suspect that this is why so many people are upset about the ruling.

Regardless of whether you agree with it or not, the reason why homosexuality (and many other topics) is being taught in school today when they weren't when I was a child is because activists want to counter what they would call "misinformation" that these children are receiving at home. This is not the schools job and, being that they do such a piss-poor job of teaching children the fundamentals today, spending any resources towards these activities is wasteful and a poor use of time.

I thought that was Greece? i thought it was only the Roman slaves that could be used for w/e the master wanted? didn't they have laws that banned homosexuality among free born citizens? and i believe you could have been put to death for doing so.
