[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]15:50, I disagree. It is not the job of schools to counsel one child, to the extent that it makes so many others uncomfortable. [/quote] Like it or not, gay rights are regarded as a civil rights issue by much (not all) of contemporary American society. And real education, in the classical sense, often means learning about things that make people "uncomfortable." Again, these are independent schools. If they believe that educating the whole child means creating an environment where gay students can feel more comfortable/accepted, they have that right -- families who feel like the issue is detracting from their own child's education can choose to go a different direction. With that said, there is nothing wrong with having a dialogue with the school about age-appropriate conversations in this as in other areas (e.g., sex ed).[/quote]
