@theoneyouwerewarnedabout: Indeed I am. To my knowledge it was only ever taught in high schools by those schools that chose to undertake it. It was merely about awareness. What I can attest to is that it has never been seriously considered as being part of the early childhood curriculum, for if it was, I would have heard about it.
If this were Vent, you would have just been bombarded by angry 14 year old Tumblrinas with Steven Universe profile photos and Twenty One Pilots posters on their walls, calling you a bigot and a transphobe for promoting "heteronormativity". Because "gender is a spectrum" and biological sex doesn't exist, and gender is an "oppressive social construct" 馃槖馃檮馃う
@wishingforrecovery: totally agree. But shouldn't we teach kids to treat all ppl fairly? ALL ppl. Are our kids that stoopid they need a different lesson about the gays trans bi's tri's blacks Mexicans Muslims Catholics islamics.. Seems really unnessasay to me. I truely don't know a single person who cares about gay ppl or if they get married. That is being pushed by the liberal media and soros activists types hijacking an unpopular subject.. Manipulating the voting public into self shame and hate..
@theoneyouwerewarnedabout: there are many people who are still hate the LGBT community and do care though. I agree that we should teach kids to treat all people fairly. I don't think they're doing the opposite by giving a lesson on a subject not commonly talked about in other aspects of life. They're trying to influence them for the better, to make them understand that everyone is different, yet everyone is still special and deserving of respect. There's nothing wrong with learning about other people or other lifestyles either. It's good to be aware. Also, kids are not stupid. They do, however, learn from their environment. Therefore, if we encourage hate, there's a strong possibility the children will learn to hate those people and those lifestyles. There are always exceptions of course. If we promote respect and understanding, it's more likely these kids will grow up to be respectful to all and understanding.
