From reading your posts on this thread, it seems to me that you want to end the right of anyone to have their own opinions on these matters.

What part of "I don't care whether or not you think same-sex sex is okay" was unclear on my position on your right to have a different opinion? You have the right to your opinion on whether or not homosexuality or drug use is okay. What you don't have is the ethical right to mistreat or disrespect people just because they are different from you.

The part of your posts that advocate this teaching curriculum as appropriate for children.

Garbanzo:

You say, "You have the right to your opinion on whether or not homosexuality or drug use is okay"

What is your personal belief about these two things:

1. Do you believe homosexuality to be a sin and a free will choice, or "orientation" something inborn that is not a matter of choice, and that teachers should keep all of their choice or orientation OUT of a K-6 classroom, and

2. Do you believe the death penalty is appropriate for adult who prey on young boys or girls, or when exactly is the death penalty absolutely warranted?

Once a human being has made a choice to live in a manner that degrades the essence of his being, I not only have the right not to respect him, since he no longer respects himself or the human race, I have the responsibility and the duty to point out his error and the harm he brings to all mankind.
