You can't be that dense.

Ad hominem insults do nothing to bolster your argument.

By first grade many schools are telling kids that it is ok to have two mommies or two daddies, and how to put a condom on a cucumber.

Does the school these children attend teach these things to elementary school students? Does the school your children attend teach these things to young children?

I've heard of schools in very liberal areas teaching such things, but they didn't teach these things in the elementary schools my children attended, and they still don't teach them in the elementary schools in my area.

If they did, the school board members would all be voted out of office, because the parents would be outraged. What's taught in schools ultimately tends to reflect community standards, for that reason.

By comparison, what the bus driver said doesn't ripple the surface, while have the advantage of being absolute fact.

It may have been absolute fact, but many facts - including this one - are not appropriate to discuss with small children, especially if one is not a parent of the child.

Dear Amelia,

That's just the question I've been asking, but have yet to receive an answer to: What exactly is inappropriate about sharing the facts, about this particular subject, with students?
