No children should not be taught about LGBT at this age

You can only vote on one answer.

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?

Jesus, I wish I could have been excused from Religious Education and French 🙄

I have mixed feelings about this sort of thing.

Some knowledge of LGBT is important and its part of today's society, but I don't think there should be entire courses dedicated to the subject.

And he should not have been suspended for ASKING to be excused... Had he played hooky though then THAT would have been a different matter.

@Quizzical Religious Education, Ethics, and P.E. were the worst classes, tbh

@Quizzical How do you run a school though when pupils can pick and choose which lessons they want to attend?

@SW-User We didn't have ethics lessons. I can imagine I would have hated them though.

Now, PE I really enjoyed!

@Wol62 That's the thing... You can't.

We all have to do things that we don't want to... But no-one should be punished for merely ASKING not to do something, lol
