Neither school has any resemblance to Scotland's bigot factories.

the jambo-rocker Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I think the one thing we can agree on with all these parent-led boycotts, is that the kids are not the only ones that need a fresher in LGBT lessons IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe. But we have got to take into consideration that a lot of that generation would have been educated when Section 28 was still in force. Also, generally whilst society has moved on somewhat, there is still a large streak of homophobia in Scottish society. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly, for my three weans, it has always been about awareness and acceptance. I see nothing objectionable here. This is really the only sensible viewpoint that is necessary. Not much more needs to be said on it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I've said before about my mate that teaches and bullies the hetero kids and he absolutely insists to them that you have to have a degree in LGBTism if you want to get into a decent uni. As a postgrad myself we frequently cancel any texts that are written by a straight because they are quite simply worthless. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy solution is to allow opt outs to alternative classes as others have said. I wouldn't want my kids to be force fed Creationism. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re equating creationism with learning that not everyone is heterosexual. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parsforlife Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I don't think the State should dictate every aspect of how children are educated, especially in moral and religious fields.The state doesn't educate on all aspects of moral and religious fields, it does however exert influence on these by a number of aspects, laws as the main thing but they have been giving 'moral education' continually in the school structure. The state tells us what drugs are ok to take, what food to eat. It advices on contraception...Telling people being gay is ok is so blindly obviously that it should be automatic as part of any education program. What if the state decides creationism is real?
