- Simply placing homosexuality along side heterosexuality in an "equal time"
- is a defacto value assessment. By giving equal time you're in effect
- saying there is no difference in the two. There is no reason what so ever
- to teach homosexuality other than for the purpose of values indoctrination.
-
- Why do we cover heterosexuality in these courses? In the hopes of preventing
- unwanted pregnancies, see kids stick this in here get a baby - bad, don't do
- it, if you do wrap this in one of these before before you stick - not great
- but better than nothing. Can't cover the subject without talking about
- heterosexual behavior, it's that simple.
-
- The subject of STDs can easily be covered without ever specificly making
- sexual orientation an issue. After all these are the two reasons that
- were used to justify sex ed in the first place, what more need there be?
-
- You simply can't introduce homosexuality as a topic with out discussing
- sex for sex sake or values defining. What other possible reason could
- you give to discuss the subject.
