There's no discussion in the video about AIDS or sexually transmitted disease, yet we know a large percentage of the homosexual community has AIDS and STDs. A Seattle school board member and official with the National School Boards' Association thinks third-graders are too young for a discussion of the pros and cons of homosexual marriage. I'm sure they should be allowed to marry, but I've come to that conclusion as an adult and it's not something I'd even care to think about as a third-grader. With such lessons becoming prevalent, school boards need policies to make sure parents can let children opt out of these discussions, he says. But you have to consider the age appropriateness of the subject matter.
Young minds are sometimes like clay.
We need to allow children to be children and not overly influence what they end up thinking about something. At an unannounced school assembly, students were presented with a panel of all gays, lesbians and bisexuals who talked about how happy, healthy and productive they are. If you show any sign of feeling anything but joy at the sight, you're homophobic. The prevalence of such lessons is difficulty to determine. That creates a hole and you have to dig yourself out of it.
