- Hmmmmmm.....what exactly would you teach as 'homosexuality'? And what
- about bisexuality? (or abstinance, for that matter) Should it include
- a module on bestiality? Bondage? etc?? (not trying to be flip, this
- is a straightforeward question)

- Now that's a good idea. Any schools that you know of currently training
- their guidance counselors to handle (in a proficient manner) this? Or
- would you rather see a counselor who specializes in such things?
- Anyone here ever talk to their school counselor about 'sexual confusion'
- and have any success in getting help?

- You also have to take a sensible approach; only a small number of people are
- offended by prayer at school functions, and even they are beginning to be heard.
- The 'seperation of church and state' has been cited here over and over
- in this group; over and over out of context. If the majority of people
- think homosexuality is not a 'good' thing, then it is not proper for the
- public school system to teach otherwise; some posters have said that if
- straight people don't want it being taught to their kids, put them in
- private school. That isn't something the majority should be expected
- to do. (dismounting soapbox..)
