How is it "creeping in that territory" when it is a same sex couple but not when it is a opposite sex couple?
A book that has a man a woman and a child is not considered creeping into human relations, but a book with two men and a child is? Basically every story book has human relations.
Do we remove all story books with humans so that we don't discuss human relations with children? No, we discuss all types of human relations in pre k. Parents, siblings, grandparents, teachers, police, all different types of human relations, but not same sex parents that is too far.
And the mother didn't mention "human relations" she said sex ed. If mentioning same sex parents is sex ed, the so is mentioning opposite sex parents.
I can't tell if you're being serious or not here, so I'm going to assume you are.
We're talking about romantic relationships here, so we can strike siblings, teachers, police, and all other types of human relations from this discussion.
With that out of the way, what's a core element of a romantic relationship between adults? Sex. In an educational setting, I can see how some would view that as sex ed-ish. Again, I don't think it is. But I can see how other people would view it that way.
Considering something less than 2% of the population is gay, it brings up some confusing differences for a four year old.
I guess I had a deprived childhood, not knowing about cisgender, male-born-female, female-born male, sexism, transgender, safe spaces, micro-aggressions and gay stuff when I was five years old.
Do many kids have that problem? Mine knew what sex they were before pre-k and even knew the proper name for their body parts. It didn't require class time to teach them that.
Kids usually know what gender they are but now they are told they can pick which one they want to be.
It is a private school. If you don't like the curriculum you can leave. If you make waves and try to change curriculum for snowflake they can make you leave.
Yes! Private school, and if you go to their website it's clear that they have progressive ideals. Don't like that? Not your thing? That's fine. Don't enroll your child. It's very simple. The school was not a good fit for this family.
The function of school is to educate. It's basically common knowledge that exposing children to things early makes them more capable of thinking about it later on. You cannot deny the prevalence of the discussion on same sex relationships and transgender issues in our society. These issues exists and they are relevant.
Bare in mind, these subjects are being presented objectively. It's merely highlighting that these issues exist. It's a private school and if you don't like how they teach, why would you want to stay? Maybe they kicked the girl out too hastily, I don't know. I feel like a lot of details are missing from the article.

If I were to complain that they read a book that had a mommy and daddy claiming that it was sex ed, people would think I was nuts. Right? So why would this be any different?
As for confusion, really? I have found children to be far more accepting than adults in many cases. Generally kids easily take it in stride that I am a woman married to a woman. None of my sons friends have freaked out, or acted odd. It is generally something that is met with "ok, do you have any cookies".
I am pointing out the hypocrisy about the situation. Those parents would freak out if someone objected to a story about an interracial family calling it sex ed. But OMG same sex parents means sex!
