One of the nation’s largest public school systems is preparing to include gender identity to its classroom curriculum, including lessons on sexual fluidity and spectrum – the idea that there’s no such thing as 100 percent boys or 100 percent girls.
Parents furious over school s plan to teach gender spectrum fluidity Fox News
Why is it important to teach our children 'gender spectrum and fluidity'? I understand why it is important to promote sex education in schools but this one... Isn't it up to parents and their kids to discuss? I don't want my kids, brainwashed by the school, to believe they are 30% male, 30% female and 40% pink unicorn.
Nobody doubts homosexuals have a right to be themselves. Let straight people enjoy their heterosexuality, as well.
I don't think they are being brainwashed. They are being a taught biological truth. We are, indeed, not 100 percent male or female characteristics. Females have a percentage of testosterone. Males have a percentage of estrogen.
In the past, this was something more likely to be taught in college and university classes; because it has become a social problem, it is being taught in high school.
Teaching basic biology is not wrong: it is knowledge, and the more knowledgeable we are, the better. I don't understand why parents are so afraid of things. In order to balance out what a child is taught in school, parents should be involved in the education process and also talk to their children about these issues on a personal, family level.
There is always more than one perspective, but to shut out any perspective you don't agree with is teaching ignorance. Shutting out other perspectives and only allowing one perspective is brainwashing.
