I remember learning about slavery when I was in elementary school but yeah, learning that homosexual people exist is where we should draw the line lmao
I teach middle school and have never seen this in practice. Are there any actual examples of elementary-aged kids being taught about sex changes and the like? I know my school does puberty/sex-ed in 7th grade, but parents can opt their kids out. >

There are examples that are easy to find. It largely depends on location. >

Give some references.  Fox news is not a reliable reference. >

Refusing to acknowledge a reference just because you don’t like some of the sources beliefs is very dangerous and isn’t the best look homie >

Yeah thats why I get all my news from my crazy uncle who lives in the woods. Sure he thinks birds are spy drones and hasn't had a shower since the Clinton administration but I don't see why that should impact the quality of his reporting >

Sorry but A reference from a news company that has reporters and journalists is not comparable to a crazy uncle.
Again denying a reference just because you don’t like some of their beliefs is dangerous.
I don’t like a lot of things Fox News and the daily wire says but I’m not going to outright deny any of their stories just because they are right wing.
They legit uncovered a story about a rape that happened in a Virginia public school and the school board covered it up. If people just straight up denied that story just because someone who’s right wing wrote it then the superintendent that covered it up would still be working in the school system 
You can be skeptical about a source but don’t flat out deny it without looking into it >

What exactly are they teaching? Like specifically? The whole "teachers are teaching sexual orientation" thing is confusing. Does anyone have any sources for courses or something that shows what teachers are actually teaching on this subject? If you aren't even sure what is being taught in the classroom then you can't be critical of it until that is figured out. >

Me you bastard they were teaching me on detail how it worked it was absolutely digusting >

Lol why you gotta lie!
Kids are grossed out by their own parents kissing. Now here you are telling us that these lil shits sat down for idk 20+ minutes without making poop noises, listening and assimilating to some biological shit talk that they don't understand or care about! >

Name 1 school where you have actual physical proof teachers are doing this. One. >

I asked the same thing. Nada so far. >

Haven’t heard of this at all either >

i work in a class with 3rd to 5th graders and they know about sexual orientation and the like simply from existing in the world. no school i know of actively teaches anything about it, but i imagine if they did it would be in the vain of trying to decrease bullying and homophobia in the population which call me crazy seems like a good thing >

OP doesn’t understand that the internet and broader culture will bring information to children faster than a curriculum. >

Timmy has two dads.  Timmy’s classmates are confused by this.
Should the teacher be allowed to address their confusion?
If you’re at all rational, then yes absolutely.  Teachers should be able to teach about the world, and answer questions when children are confused.  There are gay teachers, there are trans teachers.  There are students with gay and trans parents and relatives.  Teachers should be allowed to address these topics with their students.
If you think that it’s “very concerning and sick” to teach kids about sexual orientation, then that includes heterosexual orientation, right?  Can’t teach that girls and boys like each other, or that mommies and daddies go together. >

I'm talking about elementary school aged children. Even straight sex ed isn't taught at that age. Why would a teacher feel the need to bring up their transgenderism in a classroom full of 7 year olds? >

Because kids ask questions.  Because parents ask questions.  Because teachers shouldn’t have to hide major things about themselves everyday, or fear losing their jobs.
No one is talking about teaching them sex ed, no one is talking about teaching elementary-age kids about sex.  But there’s no harm in clarifying that Mrs. Harris doesn’t have a husband, she has a wife.  And that yes, some men marry men and some women marry women.  That’s why Timmy has two daddies. >

I'm a teacher. Kids ask some questions that I don't, won't, answer. That's okay. I don't get paid to answer every question kids ask, I get paid to teach the curriculum and answer *relevant* questions.
And if a kid in elementary school asks me why Timmy has two daddies, I will tell that kid to go ask their parents. It's not relevant to my curriculum, and it's not my place to have that conversation with young children: it is their parents' job. >

That’s fine but some people like to go above and beyond for their job outside of just what’s required.  
I respect that you’re doing what’s required, getting paid, and getting out. Nothing wrong with just trying to get a paycheck. But some teachers see teaching as more than just the curriculum. See it as a way to help prepare kids/teens to grow up and get ready for the real world. And spoilers there’s a lot of LGBT+ in the real world. >


That’s fine but some people like to go above and beyond for their job outside of just what’s required.

And there are jobs where if you try to go above and beyond (like if you are an EMT who is not trained to be an A-EMT), you will get sued for trying to do something that you are not supposed to be doing.
It's. The. Parent's. Responsibility.
