http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2015...thing-as-boys-or-girls.html?intcmp=latestnews I don't like the direction it is going. I believe I am '100% boy', I am also sure my wife is '100% girl' and we don't want it to be different. Let gay people be gay, let straight people remain straight. As long as gay rights are protected by the state there is no need for additional gender education. I don't want my children to question their personality without a reason.
Why would they question their personality? That is simply what it is. It's generally shaped by the culture but mostly by adults that have the greatest influence on them. That being said I think gender fluidity is a concept better discussed in college because it is a vast concept and I only have a very basic understanding of it. I think it's better to focus on math.
Don't you think this concept is being introduced for ideological reasons only? Children nowadays know there is nothing wrong about being different, whether it is skin color or sexual orientation. Imagine a 15-year-old teenager who is told there are no boys and girls, only a bunch of queers? What's next? that's an unhealthy symptom of taking tolerance too far. Defending homosexuality and SSM is one thing, attacking straight majority has nothing to do with it however.
Just remember this next time we see the numbers of how much more we spend, to get less results than other areas of the world. A school day doesn't have unlimited time. When you take time away from REAL studies, to focus on garbage like this? Your students will suffer against their peers who don't, and instead focus on real studies. A harmful waste of students time.
Ummm....isn't that part of their ever expanding , self imposed Moniker??? LGBTQ....etc etc Can't be an insult if they are officially using it in their ...ummm... "brand"?
Maybe you got a point. *shrug* After all, if three black men call themselves n(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)s, no one would complain if an angry white guy complained about another group of black folks being 'just a bunch of n(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)s.'
I agree. No one needs to attack anyone else. There is no science behind the no one is 100% boy or girl thing. We are that which we are. I'm happy to stand up for gay rights, but I know I'm a girl. I've been one all my life and there is nothing boyish about me.
Isn't the point of an education to question things? Good for this school. A lot of people need to realize that it's not black and white, there's a full spectrum to gender.
A person learns a piece of information.The person asks "where does this fit in with everything I do know?".
No, I don't. I think it is actually based in good intentions. But I do believe it is throwing the baby out with the bath water. The path to Hell is paved with good intentions. The reason why I believe they are doing this is because they don't want children who are gender fluid to feel left out. I simply don't think it's right to go into this and potentially wreak havoc on other children and their self esteem for the one out of 200 children that are.
In this day and age you have to be very careful about expressing negative opinions about this .I know people who been called in by Human Resources if they don't openly and verbally support the Homosexual Agenda !
No, there just isn't. I was biologically born a male and if my parents didn't tell me I probably wouldn't assume a "gender role"(since psychologically, I wouldn't know what one is) but biologically speaking, I would most likely act out what psychologists would describe as male-oriented behavior. We know for example, that our bodies have different testosterone levels and that Females have higher estrogen levels. Oh wow,a biological difference? Yes, a biological difference. This biological difference suggests, if all goes well we're born either one of two ways: Male or Female. Perhaps, it should be granted that there will be exceptions to the norm but why should the US Education system completely revamp basic biological and observatory fact for some 1.1% of people in the US? Makes no sense.
As long as the kiddies are taught that gays are okay they are not ready to be taught that the Bi's are okay too?
Generally children aren't capable of that kind of thought. In East Berlin children would let the government know about "traitorous parents" due to the indoctrination they received from the state. I'm not comparing the two per say, just showing that how impressionable children can be. They should be learning things like math, reading, science, and history. If they want to teach something about not bullying others I don't have a problem with that since that's not controversial, and they could even bring up transgender there, so long as it's not about bullying them. If children's parents want to teach them about gender fluidity or whatever it's called, I have no problem with that. I just don't believe it's the school's job. If a college campus wants to have a class on the subject, I'm fine with that as well. I personally think the whole concept is weird, but I also believe in personal rights, so if someone wants to be a different sex that is their choice. At the same time people are naturally resistant to change, so it should be a slow and gradual process, or else there will be a lot of opposition to it.
