The harm is that ot doesn't take a semester to teach a child how to feed, clothe and wash a baby. After that..what are you teaching?
Couldn't possibly type it all here; it would take too long But you can find the answer you seek in many bookstores. There are TONS of things to learn about taking care of babies, and they're better learned before you get pregnant and especially before the kid's born.

Foreign language should ABSOLUTELY be mandatory....especially when we are fast approaching a 40% Latino population with a large portion of which refuses to learn English.
Fair enough about fine arts, but I think it's highly unlikely someone will actually NEED to know Spanish here in the U.S. to do well for themselves. Those who refuse to learn English are the ones to worry about.

Good thing no one's suggesting that.

Yes, let's. Or else, let's identify just what knowledge the anti-gay arguments stems from. It's either something real or something imagined (aka NOTHING), after all.

You don't HAVE to do anything but live and die, same as everyone else. But you must know that when you voice an opinion on what someone else should be allowed to do, it falls to you to either explain why you feel that way or be swiftly ignored.

I refuse to discuss that here beyond saying there is evidence to show a power of media influence as well as negative influence from pornography itself. But I'm glad to see you are asking WHY. We who support gay rights are asking why NOT, and have yet to get an answer that's verifiably correct.
History. Now I understand why you hate that class, though. You see, we've learned from history (well, most of us anyway) that it does no good to discriminate against people without damn good reason which must also be true. We learned that this can lead to needless violence which will surely affect both the minority AND the majority, destroy far more than it builds. I am of course speaking of racism and the bigotry we saw in Nazi Germany.
This class will lead to hatred that accorded in NAZI Germany!
Gay-Straight Alliances are the modern day equivalent of the Hitler Youth
all those who oppose them are undesirables and have to be "reeducated".

Sure, a few things. But nothing that requires a whole semester of classes.

I disagree. They teach ESL at the college level now. That's right, "higher education" institutions are teaching English as a SECOND language. If that isn't indicative of a regressing education system, I don't know what is.

Well, if you acknowledge parents suck...and they require state level intervention...what does that suggest?

I already went over that..with the procreation example. Totally logical.

No, actually, I HAVE to live under a FEDERAL LAW. Outside of the Constitution, which is horribly outdated and it's words have been held hostage until they scream whatever the hands that squeeze it wish, there is no basis for the notion that a homosexual couple is on equal footing as a heterosexual couple.
The fact is the only explanation needed to be stated is that they believe sexual relations are to be between woman and man. It doesn't need to go further than that.

So if you believe in the power of media influence...then would you agree that indoctrination and propaganda in schools can influence sexual orientation?
so far since this morning there is not one workable reason in why, these teachers and Supt's should not be charged and tossed into jail.
So far you have provided no reason they should.
