Apparently this happened over in the UK.

Do you think the school made the right decision?

Should children as young as 10 be learning about LGBT?

What are your thoughts?

I think suspending a kid is extreme, just tell them it's mandatory like any other part of the curriculum. There's nothing wrong with kids learning about people that aren't cis or straight, it can be done in a tasteful/PG way and it'll help them not feel so alone or different later if they find themselves questioning their identity (or help them be more understanding and respectful of others later on).
