I agree with that, only not for one teacher to teach what the
authority did not give permission to teach. PTA meetings mostly see
what the school is going to teach and OK or reject it in state
schools. The non-government school is another story, if the public
is paying the bill then they should have a say in the matter. The
teach is paid and should not teach what is not in the accepted books
decided on by the school. If one wants to teach communism in grade
school as the only true free way of life, how many would dump that
teacher out the door, except if they live in China.

To some gay views are religious views as that is where the argument
about homosexuality started from. For or against is a form of
religion and as such neither should be taught, then what people do in
their homes and in bed, is no ones business and why children need to
hear about it, is wrong. I believe you hit it on the head only since
gay is a teaching most churches preach about as sin, it is religious
and the gay has no right to teach their form of religion either.

The point really is not about God as nothing stops the kids from
hearing about homosexual or gay life, but they should not hear about
such in school, why does it seem the gay thinks they have some right
to expect the state to let them speak of being Gay, when the Believer
of what ever religon can not?

Sure it is a religion they have followers they claim rights, they want
people to obey them and teach that what they do is not sin, and sin is
a religious viewpoint. Sure there is a separation of sexual
preferences male or female what will it be. I never heard of a gay
person that was not a man or a woman, never some 3rd freak something
with sex organs that are not like the male or female. The
constitution was made for humans and it is implied, humans make babies
because they are male and female, if one follows the gay line there be
no children or humans made, as they would not do as human normal
people do, and create babies.

So does owning a home and paying taxes that goes to schools if you
have children or not.

If that be so, why is this being posted and why is that teacher not
fired? Or was he/she fired. Nothing meant by my he/she just did not
get the name of the teacher male or female.

I never heard it was, so what makes you think it is? I sure some
reader would love to find out what official in what State approved
such curriculum, I sure would, since if they approved such, they
better approve also that the church can give its view on this matter
as it is matter of faith, sin and what our children will learn and
what will happen in their life.
