I thought this was interesting, and happened a little over a month ago in a New Jerseys town in the Evesham School District.
‘That’s a Family’ is a movie that features several gay families, and explains why each is normal and acceptable...yet a mom was appalled by it and got it yanked from the school.
Apparently the mom was upset because it was promoting same sex marriages, and then later said it was the idea that it was too much for her 8 year old to see. I am not sure why her child was able to see it because it was approved for fourth grade classes.
This lady raised a bit of hell and got it kicked out. Now I do not think it is fair to kick it out, because there might have been kids whose family form is that of a same-sex one. how is that fair to them, they have no choice about the lifestyle they live.
I think that the video was extreme in addressing how this one lady wanted a baby and was going to go to a man to have it "naturally" since she did not have a husband.
I agree that it is possible a 2nd grader would not be able to handle that and shouldn't be forced to. maybe they could do it like they do sex ed and get permission slips. everyone didn't disagree so those who were not in favor could be doing a different activity.
On the other hand Vice President Cheney's daughter is a lesbian and recently had a baby, it is clear that her female lover didn't create the baby with her, should we then block children from watching news as well? I mean this example is extreme but it was national news!!!! i don't know whether this kid watches news but at 8 I was and I understood a lot that was going on.
Another point, is that if you can show that a male and female have sex in sex ed, then you really aren't addressing anything new with regard to how a baby is conceived, it merely has to be about the "gay" aspect.
