But that's the reality facing that attitude.

As it should be. Choose between your own bigotted beliefs or the importance of your child's education.

Is it really important and educational enough to be taught to children..I'm not really seeing what they are benifitting from here.

You don’t see what’s beneficial about being taught from a young age that discrimination and homophobia is wrong?

Is that what they are being taught?...isn't it that these things are normal...I'm doubting a 8yr old will even be able to say those words correctly let alone know what they mean.

Homophobia is learned behaviour and people learn from a young age, what's your problem with teaching kids 'some girls and boys like other girls and boys and that's perfectly normal.'

Honestly, there's no real reason to oppose this except for that you oppose homosexuality being normalised and treated no differently heterosexuality.

You mean teach Johnny and Cheryl who sit next to each other in class and play with each other at playtime that it's normal that boys can like girls and girls can like girls and boys can like boys...or are we sneeking sexual preferences into it somewhere along the line, cause uou ain't teaching them nothing that they don't already know about boys being allowed to like boys, or girls....so it can only be about sexual preferences and that should all be incumbered in the sex ed years if school, not some sit down for 8 yr old olds with the local transvestite shoving his hand up a puppets arse.
