Maybe the mother should have talked to the teacher, but she didn't so we will never know.

We only have one side of the story here. But based on other stories like this one, it was the parent making it into something that it wasn't. Like the one that got ticked about homosexuality being taught, but it was a book that had one page that said "Bobby has two daddies".


Again this is a private school. I have sided with private schools that have kicked out children of gay couples since they are private schools. If this parent doesn't agree with the curriculum, they could have left.
The mother knew about the lesson plan before the class, and tried to opt out. She knew about the curriculum and still paid for her child to be there. That shows that this was not a major objection. If my kid was in a class that I absolutely did not think was right, they would not be in that class.

The book worm loves worm is about two worms getting married. They don't care who wears the dress or tux. And being worms both could be the bride or the groom since worms are both male and female.

Haha, that's great! And so true.

You're not going to believe this, but there are some fascist preschools that don't teach every single possible combination of family dynamic. Can you BELIEVE they exclude schizophrenic nymphomaniac albino gogo dancer lesbian nazi hooker eskimos??*

Those monsters!

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.

Let's see the studies.
I'm done with you until you decide to stop defecting from backing up your claims that parents are starting the gender reassignment process on 3-5 year olds.

I have stated my opinion of 4 year olds and learning about different family structures.

So I'm not allowed to ask for evidence, but you are? Ok.

p.s. I asked first.

The mother had access to it, and tried to opt out. Why hasn't she released it?

Do 4 year olds know what parents are?

If they do, then they can understand other children have different parents.

There is no mention of homosexual relationships in saying "Bobby has two daddies". That is talking a a parent child relationship.


No, you asked about children understanding the concept of love first.

Now back up your claims.

I didn't reply to the mother. I replied to people stating what the curriculum contains.

She tried to opt out, what was she trying to opt out of if she didn't know what was being taught?
