Absolutely. First no school is teaching elementary kids about gay sex - they just want to teach that there are different kinds of families and that its OK to be different in ways that harm no one.
It is essential that the next generation of children is brought up without the prejudice and ignorance of their parents. Additionally such teaching will probably save the lives of hundreds of gay kids who may otherwise commit suicide or be beat to death because of current misunderstandings.

I think schools should discuss or otherwise teach this to other students. I mean, clubs and organizations that represent gay/lesbien type of people are ok, but alls it is are groups of people talking to others about themselves being gay or lesbien. When they're out in the real world, many people whom are gay or lesbien like have trouble talking to other people that aren't gay at all. Despite the fact that Bush doesn't agree with gay marriage or not, we, as people and students, have a right to learn about gay people/lesbien people and how they're just like others. In fact, there shouldn't be any need for special schools out there to separate gays/lesbiens from others. It's kind of like the same thing with people whom have Down's Syndrome. (I'm making an assumption) Many people out there are looking at the faces of Down's Syndrome kids or teens, and they look at them as being strange, different, and acting stupid in front of people. So they try and stay away from these Down's Syndrome people because they'll look weird if they hang out with them. That's how we look at people whom are gay/lesbien (I'm not saying everybody looks at gay/lesbien people this way). I feel that people need to understand and learn to accept that being gay doesn't make you a different person at all. It doesn't matter what the age you teach them in. If you don't teach these kids to learn how to accept one another whether they're homosexual or not, they'll end up making fun of those people, and then fights will come about.

I can tell you what I think but it doesn't matter ~ No one cares about what I think ~ 'They' only care about being lawfully correct to accomodate deviant behaviour! Teaching children 'it's okay to be gay' is confirmation of my speculation that the responsibility to raise children was too much of a task for me to be able to cope! I had a vasectomy in 1970 to preclude the possibility of being thwarted by society's deviant, vile & ridiculous practices. I would certainly have snapped a long time ago with the burdens of children being corrupted by sick, 'open minded', 'new age' 'teachers'.

I think they should, its part of teaching tolerence for diversity. its the same as teaching kids to accept retarted, colored, or funny looking people. It's an important lesson. They dont have to support gay marriage or anything, but they should have to be kind and respectfull of others that do.

I agree with your friend. It should not be taught that being gay is okay. I do teach my children that people who are gay make that decision for themselves, so it would be wrong to tell them to judge gay people, but I also teach them that God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve.

It is one thing to be tolerant and quite another to actively teach that it is "okay". Plus this is elementary school what happened to just teaching the A, B, C's and about bugs? Tell your friend to find another school.

The way I see it is that they are teaching children to accept differences in people. Regardless of gender,race...etc.
We aren't the ones to judge, we have no right to do so. There is only one that will judge a person when it is time.
Why can't we accept people for who they are and not worry about what sexual orientation/religion/race/ they are. No wonder there is so much hate in this world.

I think its absalutly awesome! Even if your friend doesn't think its okay, our jobs as parents is to do better for our kids. Just because somebody is a homo doesnt' make them less of a person. I want my children to embrace people for who they are, not what they are. Bad-mouthing gays is just as bad as racisim. So, if you teach your children to accept everybody, everybody will accept them.
