Jake, if central control will prevent children in certain areas from being taught anti-homosexuality things, then so be it.
How will it result in that. I live in a rural, conservative area, and we're not taught anything about homosexuality. We're told to make up our own minds and not be brainwashed either way. You're worried about students being brainwashed into hating gays, what about them being brainwashed into supporting gay rights. Who is to say what is right in that situation?
Ignoring controversial issues is not the answer. I want it taught that homosexuality is
different than heterosexuality, and I don't want kids to learn that it is
worse. I am a liberal, and that is what I stand for. Of course, I would not want a question like that to be on a test, where a kid has to answer something is true even if they personally think it's false. We have to strike the right balance. Right now, many rural schools are taught more like private christian ones. Tjat needs to stop, and this is a big issue in that fight.
