No one is teaching 4 year olds about sex. They are teaching about family structures.
When they say Sally has a mommy and a daddy", they are not teaching about the parents sex life.
When they say "Bobby has two daddies" they are not teaching about his parents sex life either.
All my kids are grown. I have a girlfriend with an 8 year old child. The kid asked the mother "What is sex?" That is a very basic and simple question. We do not need to complicate the issue before the kids are clear about the basis. My adult kids when younger were all liberal progressives. Once they got older and wanted and had lives of their own...They all came to the realization that there is no real stable future in being a progressive...that there is no real value...They want traditional lives that are rich and satisfying as possible...Like having husbands....wives....kids....normal stuff..and yes the nuclear family is the norm.
Nothing in this story indicates that the pre-k kids were being taught anything about sexual activities or anything that would address the question asked by your girlfriend's 8 year old.
The same gender couples with kids that I have met (and I have met numerous) also "Like having husbands....wives....kids....normal stuff."
What you do not understand is the tolerance is defined as agreeing with the left. They will tolerate you if you agree with them. What you thought that road went both ways? Sill rabbit, equality is for liberals.
If someone came home and their dad was sitting there with a wig and dress on , they should just act like it is normal.. that is what they want to teach the kids.. weird..

Seems a whole lot more is going on when a 4 year-old comes home worried that "her dad might no longer like girls".
That isn't how a 4 year old thinks. They don't dissect every possible connection of a picture. They may relate a picture to their own experience. " I have a mommy and daddy too".
How a 4 year old thinks and how an adult teaches are two different things. No one is objecting to how the 4 year old thinks, but people are objecting to the classroom material taught by adults.

Citation needed. I don't have access to their curriculum, do you? I assume you didn't just make that up.

I never said 4 year olds don't know what parents are. And you DO have to find studies if you think teaching homosexual or heterosexual relationships is age-appropriate material for all 4 year olds. Anecdotes aren't evidence. Willful ignorance isn't evidence. Dogma isn't evidence.

It's not deflection, it's postponement. I don't want to start a second topic with you if you're unable to support your assertions in the first.
So it's back to my question...
Is 4 too young to learn about hetero and homosexual relationships? If no, please show me the academic studies showing 4 year olds are capable of understanding that. If yes, you agree with me, and we can move on.
How do you know the child learned that from school? It was not part of the curriculum.
Can you link us to the curriculum so we can see exactly what it is? Assuming you didn't make that up, you must have access to it...
