Yes children should be taught about LGBT at this age

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?

On the fence. I mean I feel like children should have the chance to solely see lgbt people from an unbiased point of view and base their opinions on it themselves. My main issue with it being taught in school is that it may very well be taught by people with an extreme bias.

@SW-User I agree with this wholeheartedly.

Kids don’t really have their own opinions yet cuz they’re well, kids. The “opinions” they do have is from what they were taught, examples made, etc. Trying to grasp alternate lifestyles at that age could be traumatizing or at least very confusing. @SW-User

@SW-User I've found that the best way of being exposed to the positive side of LGBT is just to know someone who is bi or gay...

Once someone sees that YOU are pretty much okay and largely the same as them then acceptance for all soon follows.

@DukeOfEarle True and i'm not sure they should even have an opinion on it. It just is. Just like gay people seeing straight people on tv all their lives. No opinion. It just is. lol
