[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents no longer have a say on what their children are taught nor when that information is introduced. But it is okay, because schools have selected materials that are factual both in content and in tone. If your kindergartner somehow misses school the day of the LGBT celebration, then that child will be well on the way to being viewed as ignorant and intolerant by all the other liberal parents. Tolerance is great as long as we all agree what we are supposed to be tolerant about ... there is no tolerance whatsoever for more traditional views or preserving the innocence of childhood for a few more years. I am a freak for not wishing my child to be introduced to the idea of anal sex (regardless of the genders involved) at the tender age of 9. [/quote] I agree with this. Because of unchecked homophobic slurs during playground at my son's Catholic school I found myself explaining anal sex in third grade long before I had planned to even get to - uh - shall we call it "traditional" sex? Totally backwards.[/quote] OK, so you sent your child to a school where other children said nasty words on the playground, which means that you had to explain anal sex to your child before you were even ready to explain PIV sex, and that is the school's fault because -- well, why is it the school's fault?[/quote] Well if you had read you would have caught the word "unchecked". If the third grade boys are screaming "faggot" "gay" "queer" and "homo" at each other on the playground, then third grade boy comes home and asks what these words mean (not used in our home), I have to explain something, don't I? And, yes, I complained to the school. They did nothing: "Boys will be boys". I even pointed out this would be considered "hate language" on another campus so they were doing the boys a disservice by letting this language continue. The didn't care. [/quote] OK, so you sent your child to third grade at a school where other third-grade children said nasty words on the playground, and the school didn't do anything to stop it. (Which is bad.) Then your son came home and said, "Mom, these boys are saying these bad words on the playground, what do they mean?", and your explanation involved anal sex? Why?[/quote]
