Curriculum materials should deal with homosexuality sparingly, if at all, and should avoid advocacy. The privacy of staff and students should be respected. Inquiries regarding the sexual orientation of students or staff members should be discouraged. Policies that focus on sexual orientation are not age-appropriate for the overwhelming majority of students. Education, not the agendas of special interest groups, should be the primary focus of public school policy.
Children tend to be disinterested in issues of sexual orientation.
If the topic isn't discussed, children won't worry about it. Staff, students and members of the community often hold deep-seated convictions on sexual ethics and morality. Those values need not be challenged in the public school context. This choice does not adequately address the very real harassment and discrimination based on sexual orientation. A school cannot remain neutral on an issue involving the well-being of students.
