Question

teach very young children about homosexuality

Because public schools all across our nation are doing just that! Children as young as 5 yrs old are being taught about homosexuality, that it is okay to have 2 mommies or 2 daddys, and they dont think that parents should have a say in what their children learn. One father was put in jail because he disagreed with what his child was being taught about homosexuality, but you wont hear that on the evening news!

tolerance is bullcrap!!!!!!!

i know it is going on in California, and the guy who went to jail is from Virginia I believe, Why do we have to be tolerant of what people prefer to do sexually? If one of my children came to me and told me they were homo, I would talk to them about it and ask them not to bring their partner around me and I would pray for them, but I will not be tolerant of it.

storm chaser, I do expect people to put up with me being a kind loving person, who is helpful, caring, honest, respectful,& law abiding. Oh there must be something wrong with because I dont agree with the homo lifestyle, too bad , so sad and I have 6 kids who agree with me!!!!!!!

Oh and by the way my kids DO go to a private CHRISTIAN school.

Answer 1

Yes it is right as long as you tell them being a homo is wrong.

Answer 2

I think it's right to teach children TOLERANCE. There is no need to teach them everything about homosexuality. But they need to know that some people love others of the same sex. That is all they need to know. You don't have to get into the sexual aspect of ANY relationship with a child.

Edit - Well aren't you just full of christian love. Tolerance is bullcrap??? But you expect people to tolerate your behaviour. If you and people like you do not like what is being taught in public schools then either move them to a private school of your religious choice or homeschool.

Answer 3

if the subject comes up, i think honesty is important. my 4 year old daughter knows nothing, but she has never asked. my 6 year old son has asked questions, probably because of our gay/bi friends, we answer simply but honestly. basically i explained it like this: remember when you got a crush on the girl in your class? some boys get crushes on boys, some girls get crushes on girls - it's just the way they are born."

of course we don't get into details but i wouldn't do that with heterosexuality either. the subject can be a little touchy and sometimes bring up hard questions, but at least i know i am teaching my son tolerance.

edit: do you have any proof of these claims? my kid goes to public school and i have never heard of anything like this. tolerance is not bullcrap - raising your kids to be close-minded and ignorant is. at least i know if my children have questions about their own sexuality in the future, they know that they come to me and not be judged.

Answer 4

All children need sexual education at a certain age. Not at the age of 4, that would be kinda silly...but at the age of 11 or 12 they should slowly start to be educated about sexuality.

I have absolutely no idea what you mean with "teaching about homosexuality". If it means to educate children about the existence of homosexuality, then my answer is yes. Of course homosexuality should be a part of sexual education.

Answer 5

About, yes; details of self-indulgence they are not inclined toward though, is merely to engage a use of time that is better left for teachings of selflessness, and to love impartially, as much as possible, despite any differences which appear between mankind's choices.

I disagree with the compulsive choice, but I do care as much for them as any.They too are looking for love, and therefore deserving of what they were made for. I only pray they may be self-controlled, and glad for their own selves, as aids to all, and not just self-indulgences, and not fear from love's lack, or mistreatment by the incitefully proud.

Answer 6

Well...It depends on how you put it and how old the child is....Well if they asked u about it 1st well try to explain...but if you just wona come out in say it umm no..Cuz if they are in school they will find out soon anywayz..i'm not saying its bad but i am 13 yrs old i fount that out at the bus stop when i was in 3rd grade high schoolers were talking about it..i also fount out the same day Santa wasn't real (lOl)

Answer 7

If we want the world of our children to be more peaceful than the world we live in, teaching tolerance, not only of sexual orientation, but of different religious, cultures, etc, is absolutely essential.

Answer 8

Answer questions if things come up, appropriately.

But its wrong to teach very young children the details of homosexual AND heterosexual sex. Keep it natural. Keep doors open. Discuss it as they are ready and be attuned to what they're ready to talk about.

Answer 9

Well that depends on what you mean.

My daughter is almost 4. I don't think you could teach her about it in any way that she could understand. Now when she comes and asks me about it, I will tell her. Kids ask when they need to know so you don't really have to decide when it is appropriate.

Answer 10

Yes. It's part of the world we live in.

And what if that kid turns out to be gay? He will then need to know about it, not have it ignored like it doesn't exist.

Answer 11

Define "very young". I think whenever it is apropos to teach about sexuality - what is that? - 11-12 years old? - is plenty early.
