Americans: Teaching children differing viewpoints is not indoctrination. Teaching them one viewpoint and punishing them for disagreeing is, though

You don't teach view points
You provide age appropriate information and let them create their own view point

If your talking sexually that's the parents job not yours not the school's etc

@pdockal Sex education needs to take place in schools, otherwise that's just another form of indoctrination, pretending sex doesn't exist.

@pdockal Dude..

It’s not only a parent’s responsibility to decide what their kids learn about sexuality. And that's a fact.Teachers and schools play a crucial role in providing well-rounded education that covers diverse perspectives. Kids spend a significant portion of their time at school, and educators are trained to present accurate, age-appropriate information in a way that encourages respect, understanding, and empathy for all identities.

Relying solely on parents for education about sexuality can create gaps in knowledge, especially for children who may not have open or supportive conversations at home. Teachers offer a safe, neutral space for learning where kids can ask questions, form their own opinions and be introduced to different views. This helps them grow into informed, tolerant individuals who can navigate the world with compassion.

It’s essential that children dont learn from one narrow perspective, but from a broad, inclusive curriculum that empowers them to think critically and approach the world with respect and kindness.
