Look thats nonesense, kids get bullies all the time for all kinds of reasons.
And in every time they get bullied the reasons come up.

I didnt say it was wrong...I said I think its unnecessary in the big scheme of things...yanno even the cavemen and women did piggynasty and had babies...think they had chalkboard sessions on how to do it
From OP article:
IOW a kid can not say their parents are gay.
Seriously, all it is gonna take is one gay kid in Tennessee killing him or herself, and every one of the politicians who supported the bill will no longer have a political career.
What youposted did not say the kid cannot say it, it said the teacher cannot discuss it.
I think society changes, and certainly the nature of sex has changed with the existence of STDs. Under such circumstances, I don't think relying on information from parents and friends is enough - kids need education, they can't just rely on BS myths like "it's safe if the woman is on top" and stuff like that.
Morality, yes. Education... no. Parents do not have the information or material to do so.
There was always sexually transmitted diseases...more people have died of syphyllis that aids
Sure they do. it is called life experience. How do you think little Johnny was made?

What are you talking about? I don't want the morality of sexuality to be taught it schools, I want the facts about not just homosexuality, but sexuality in general to be taught. By professional sex education teachers, just like I want math, and history to be taught by professional teachers in those fields.
Heh like I said 6 kids and alot of beforehand practice and wow no sex education...I must have been the only one:roll::roll:

You pulled that out of the air...lol...not true
You are older than some of us. Did AIDs exist when you were plowing the field?
So, there's place in school to discuss the world, as it is?
syphilis has been around a lot longer - venereal disease has always existed of course, but it has become a lot more complicated in recent decades.
I can think of one specific point in my school years where homosexuality came up. It was in high school, but I can also see it coming up in Jr. High or Middle School too the way it was discussed in my class.
We were debating gay rights. The teacher was a complete twit on how debates should work, but it still was a class discussion. And I could also see it coming up in a class discussion on current events or even something like talking about what they did on a summer vacation. What if someone's family went to a gay rights event or their mothers or fathers got married or the family went to a same sex wedding? Those might have been the only things that happened to the kid over the summer and the other kids all got to discuss what they did with the class. It wouldn't be fair to exclude a kid or, worse, make them find something else to talk about just because some people want to stick their fingers in their ears and continuously chant "la la la, gays don't exist, la la la, just don't talk about them and they'll go away, la la la".
Completely ridiculous law.
How do you see this debate happening ina 4th grade class? Do you think a 10 year old mind can handle the subject matter on a serious basis?
I don't have a problem with k-5 not allowing discussion. I do think if a child has homosexual parents and bring it up then there is room for discussion.I have a problem with banning it in middle school
Acutally I didnt plow..Im a big city boy born and raised and im not older than some of you..im older than most of you.
I first became aware of aids in 1968 ...we arrested a kid in his 20s for robbery, he was sick very sick. We brought him to the hospital. We kept 24 hour watch on him..his organs were failing and the poor kid was a mess and finally died.
It has no place in school...just like religion and morality. School is for academics
Funny... but kind of sad because the Chinese translation for Orient 東方 is in pretty common usage here...
There is no way in '68 you could have known it was HIV or AIDS. The anagram AIDS wasn't used till the 80's and HIV wasn't isolated till the 80's.
lol.... that is what liberals would have you believe... of course, the reality is quite the opposite...
