I think that's more for the left..... They are the ones that advocate social brainwashing. My daughters even have teachers that will tell them they are wrong if they do not believe the same as them. The teachers involved are all liberals.....

And god help the teacher who gets asked about Modern Family.

Johnny and Becky Sue: Miss Johnson there's this show on the TV where two men have a baby. Does that mean the baby has two daddy's?

Miss Johnson: We can't talk about that Johnny and Becky Sue.

Johnny and Becky Sue: How come.

Miss Johnson: We just can't.

Johnny and Becky Sue: But why?

Miss Johnson: Because.

Johnny and Becky Sue: Because what?

Miss Johnson: Because it is against the law.

Johnny and Becky Sue: It's against the law to talk about a TV show? We talked about Little House on the Prairie.

Miss Johnson: That's different.

Johnny and Becky Sue: Why?

Miss Johnson: Because.

Johnny and Becky Sue: Because what??

It could be pretty funny, if it wasn't so damned stupid.
A smart teacher would tell the kids that they should be asking their Mother/Father those questions and those are not appropriate questions for school.

The vast majority of us did not learn about homosexuality from teachers and the vast majority of us have never gay bashed or bullied gay people.

Why would a teacher even want to go there?

You're right. It wasn't an issue when it wasn't made an issue.

We're talking about Tennessee here.

The above was given in the same light heartedness of the imaginary dialogue. So, perhaps instead of concentrating on that try addressing the real need for tolerance as being important to the educational environment. Children are not blind, deaf and dumb. The issue of homosexuality will come up in their normal interactions regardless of what parents want or desire legislators can attempt to hide. As a result, some authority figure it going to have to insure that no student will be ostracized who they are or who their parents may be, if for no other reason than to provide an environment conducive to learning. Teachers and school administrators are charged with that responsibility and homosexuality in this charged environment which can negatively impact that environment, as result, teachers and administrators have a responsibility to address the issue.
