Promotion of homosexuality in schools

[tectime]

Hi

I have children in junior school, and one is due to undertake a sex education class (too young in my opinion), but I am concerned if the subject of homosexualty is broached. Is this broached in senior schools, or does it happen in junior schools too.

Come on let's hear which God you follow.

What a tragic op.

this isn't going to go well, is it!!

Also early secondary is too late to be teaching the basics. By this time most children have started puberty, surely it is sensible to teach the facts of reproduction before that - so primary school.

What we teach now is already too little, too late - not too much, too young, hence our appallingly high teen pregnancy rate compared to the rest of Europe.

I think everyone else has covered everything I'd want to say on your unusual view on 'teaching' homosexuality.

In an infinite uiverse, there must be at least one omnisexual god.

PosiePumblechook, there is no call for that type of language

No call for homophobic paranoia either! People swear, people are gay, people eat red meat on a friday, people have sex before marriage... Get over it.

Agentprovocateur......I have nothing against homosexuality, as I have a couple of freinds who are gay and they have been my friends for many years. I do however think it is something that should not really be touched on in school.

I am confused by this, hence my thread, now it seems I am a pariah......

1 in 10 people are gay so in average class of 30 three will be gay. they need to learn from an early age that it's perfectly acceptable to be homosexual, so that they dont grow up hating thmselves and their feelings. That. is why it's "taught" in schools

My point is why should it be discussed (as part of sex ed) at school.
Because its not illlegal and there are reasons to understand sexuality younger rather than later.

If you believe its wrong, you should indoctrinate your DCs away from my DCs HE.

why should it not be 'touched on' in shool OP? is there something abnormal about being gay?

No, I'm with you , OP.

I think if children weren't told about homophobiaristy, we wouldn't all be in so much danger from homopaedophiliacary.

I started a small campaign in my hamlet that garnered a lot of success:

PROTECT OUR CHILDREN'S INNOCENT BUMS

I could send you some pamphlets for you to distribute, if you would like?

I was waiting for the 'some of my friends are gay' comment.

Brilliant OP, are some of your best friends black too?

So you don't want safe sex taught in schools?

Buck up Agent Provocateur, you missed out on the new year's eve party.

It's 2012

Why shouldn't it be touched on in school though?

Do you think homosexuality is wrong or shameful? Will something bad happen if your children know what being gay means, or even if they are gay?

If you really have nothing against homosexuality, then why should it not be mentioned in school and yet gravity, the Tudors, baking, long division, Shakespeare, religion and 101 other things are mentioned

merlin.

I don't think they do promote homosexuality as overtly as to give out badges and do buy-one-get-one-free offers, acksherly.

It's much more insidious than that.

They use the power of suggestion, subliminal images and other brainwashing techniques. Before you know it the school is full of previously innocent and unimpeachably hetero kids who have decided that gay is the only way.

It is all very dangerous. The only hope of avoiding/averting it is in home-schooling your kids on a special module entitled 'I Don't Mind People Being Gay But ...' and ensuring that they never go to Brighton or Soho in case they inadvertently inhale Gay Recruitment Gas.

HTH.

But also, if you're teaching reproduction, surely you have to explain in any case how some children have two same-sex parents?

When I explained where babies come from to my daughters, I had to explain it in quite, er technical detail (not just penises and vaginas) because they have cousins with two female parents.

Are you from a culture/religion which views homosexuality and sex education as wrong?
I fail to see how a rational adult living in 21st century Britain holds views like yours otherwise.

Sposh so it is! Doesn't time fly?

Oh no! I've been to Soho whilst pregnant! More than once!

OP, you realise there's a bloody good chance that some of your DC's teachers are gay, don't you?

Well I'll agree with one thing you've said, op. You most certainly are confused. Perhaps the confusion arises because you are clearly in the minority in your views and prejudice.

If you are genuinely interested in what exactly is taught in each of the key stages regarding sex and relationships, I strongly advise you to go into your dcs' school and ask.

If, however, you are determined to let your ignorance guide you and you're not actually that interested in why it is a bloody good idea for children to learn about all aspects of their sexual and emotional well-being, in an environment of openness, honesty and tolerance, then I suggest you join one of the daily mail forums and you will find many like-minded posters.
