really. four year olds have to learn this stuff?

Quote:
A 4-year-old Aurora girl was kicked out of a preschool last month when her parents raised questions about books read in her class, including ones that told the stories about same-sex couples and worms unsure about their gender.

Her mother, R.B. Sinclair, sees it as sex education and wanted to opt her daughter out of those discussions.

Instead, school officials from Montview Community Preschool & Kindergarten in Denver — run as a private, parent cooperative — explained the stories were part of the school's anti-bias curriculum, and because the discussions are embedded through the day, they told her that opting out was not possible.

In Sinclair's case, she's not sure how the teacher talked to her daughter. One day, Sinclair said her daughter came home worried that her dad might no longer like girls.

And the tin hatters think there's some agenda to brainwash kids. There's obviously not, I mean isn't it obvious?

Maybe this prescient 4 year old figured out that dad was a toe-tapper in airport bathrooms.

Now she's at home chanting:

"Closet Case!
Closet Case!
Daddy is a closet case!"

Yeah.

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.

My thoughts exactly. Can't it wait until they're old enough to learn about the birds and the bees?

exactly.

so this way, when little Erica or Johnny are adults and meet a LGBT for the first time, they can display that Christian look of horror and closed mind that they're known for.
