The news post I read was about how gay and lesbian students are often bullied by kids at their school.But in some efforts to teach children to accept those who are homosexual caused madd wars in some communities. Many parents and religious critics agree that they want their kids to stop being bullied. In one school to try to prevent bullying in the future the teachers are teaching the 1st graders that "human beings can love people of the same gender." Some parents did not want their kids being taught this.
In my opinion I think that unless school officials got the parents permission to teach their kids what they are already being taught they shouldnt teach them that. Some parents dont belive that people of the same gender can love each other. So if people who arent even the children parents teaching the kids this can be a problem. I also think there should be somthing done about harrasment over homosexuality, because some kids cant take the fact that everyday when they wake up there is always gonna be that one person to bully them because they are gay or homo. If somthing doesnt get done about this it can cause alot of tention between people of the U.S. That is somthing we do not need.

I'm not following your reaction, an I'm not sure I agree with you very much anyway.
ReplyDeleteAt one point, you're saying that teachers SHOULDN'T teach anything other than what they're supposed to. (aka... not about how we should treat people with different sexual orientations with respect)
Then, you say that something SHOULD be done about the bullying.
Well, which one is it Brittany?
I think if you're going to teach kids peace and respect for each other, then we need to address the issue of kids calling each other "gay" and "homo" every 5 minutes. Moreover, it's not enough just to tell kids, "Hey, don't say those words!" They need to understand that yes, people of the same sex ARE able to love one another the same way heterosexual couples can. And we must RESPECT their lifestyles and preferences just as we would like people to RESPECT our own lifestyles.
Thats true what Mr. R is tryinq to say but i also aqree with you Britt. Its like we need the teachers to tech us thinqs that will teach us to be honest and have respecrt for one another but on the other hand you are tryinq to say that whatever we dont need to knoe to succeed they dont have to teach us. i totally aqree but we also need other thinqs in life to survive and live our lives freely. Just next time try to qive us more details about how you really feel deep down inside :)
