A degree in LBGTism doesn't land you a job when you leave school. You don't get a degree in anything from school. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BawWatchin Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Just now, craigkillie said: You don't get a degree in anything from school. No. But it can help set you up for a degree when you leave. The purpose of school is to teach you the required building blocks in order to go on and achieve what you want to achieve when you leave. It's purpose isn't to tell people what they should or shouldn't like or think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Too many people in this country talk about how other places are a "backwater" when the reality is, this place is as much of one as any. And these schools are now complicit, as is anyone staying silent about it while knowing it's happening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 The role of school education in a child's life is much broader than that. Schools have to provide an academic education to students in things like maths, English, science and the arts, educate them in general life skills via things like home economics, PE and technical and also further their social and moral development via things like RE, social education, sex education and other similar classes. You need to have all of those things to operate in society as a normal functioning human being. For a subject like RE (at my school at least), it wasn't about telling children that they should follow a particular religion, but rather about providing information about a variety of religions and their practices. Sex education (incorporating LGBT) is the same - you are teaching children about sex, relationships and everything associated with that, and it would be very strange given the society we live in if that didn't include a discussion about LGBT topics. Having LGBT education isn't going to suddenly make kids gay, but it might make life easier for the ones that are. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So being told what opinions to have regarding sexuality and gender roles is more important than the ability to do your job properly?

Got ya. Being told it's none of your business is. And being treated equally if you're a child of LGBT parents with a miniscule part of lessons devoted to this stuff. Don't think an opt out for protesting parents' children would do much harm, they'd hear anything juicy in the playground. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
