Are you saying that if a 7 year old asks Frank the teacher what he did this weekend. He can’t say I went surfing with steve?

I'm sure that would be OK, he just can't say "I went surfing with Steve, and later on he bummed me in the RV."

“did you wear a condom or did he cream pie you raw mr frank?”
Sorry. I derailed the thread, mistaking it for something it was not
A more related issue is that the CRT issue now has people calling to end public schools
So you've got people like me who believe America should join other modern nations and up the amount of public education to 16 years so as to grow with the times. Yet there are others arguing to end public schools altogether (and give out vouchers for private schools of choice lol)

To an extent. As with any law, the interpretation is up to the school district or administrator. Fear of being sued guides how a lot of schools operate so bearing that in mind, imagine the interpretations we'll get. I tend to believe most educators in reality wouldn't practically not address sexuality if a kid was being bullied because they were gay, but at the end of the day the issue is bullying is against school policy, not homophobia.@kneeblock is this true?
Of more concern, and K @kaladin stormblessed hit the nail on the head here, is that groups are trying to use this and the CRT thing to push the "cameras in the classroom" angle again and also as a basis to try to push for the elimination of tenure where its offered.
It's weird to think of how this would play out in a counseling situation because everything schools do is oriented towards straightness, which I think is easy to overlook. My daughter is gay which makes me attentive to all the ways straightness of families and prospective relationships between students is just a major part of what they do in a school, but she doesn't exactly want to run around talking about gayness either all day in class. But most importantly these reactionary policies are mostly to elicit sex panic, just like all the elite pedo conspiracies (which do, of course, have some basis in fact). Doing so is a useful organizing tool and way to pillory your enemies as not adequately protecting children/irresponsible and unworthy of power or deserving of serious harm etc.
Don’t forget those that said 2hrs a day of zoom was plenty of schooling
I went surfing with my husband/partner sounds just fine to me.
Great
Look. If it's a really camp gay guy who we all know and have met who is making crass innuendos I'd have a problem with them teaching any student. Same as if a straight bloke was making crude jokes in a teaching environment.
But if its just Steve a gay man who is married to another man. Or Valerie who is a married to Claire what difference does it make?
I think you think all homosexuals are some weird TV parody of themselves.
I know 2 married gay couples. Female and male. The girls I get on great with. Ian I get on well with. Gary his partner is a prick. Can't stand the man. Not because he's gay. He's just a prick.
But if he was a teacher I'd have no problem with him teaching my children. He'd be a professional. Homosexuals are not a different species.
You can't make someone who isn't gay gay. You really can't.
Him mentioning he went canoeing with his partner/husband at the weekend to his class isn't going to turn a straight student gay.
Is that what you're frightened about?
Serious question.
What are you talking about?
Should any teacher be able to talk any type of sex with a kindergartner? I say no
So we agree
What’s the problem?
Nothing says "Far Right" quite like legalizing gay marriage, most of America letting people smoke dope, and the government actively advocating for civil rights and more robust environmental policies.
As someone who's not American it's always kind of weird watching people debate the Civil War.
"It was about slaves. The north believed in abolishing slavery with such conviction that no one from the north actually wanted to fight. So they enslav... "conscripted" men to go and fight."

not in my grade schools!
As a general rule, I don't indulge much in the culture war stuff. But knowing what they're teaching in high schools, I understand people's concerns.
Civil war was strictly about slavery? wtf...

These motherfuggas know everything about everything
I couldn't care less about CRT I just think it's funny that the strongest supporters in the media are like "hurr durr it's not being used in schools". After proven wrong they switch to "hurr durr why do you even care it's just part of history"...
These ain't your Grandpa's grade schools!
