It doesn't need to be in a kindergarten class. I wonder if it's come up in my nephew's class.

But you have to realize this is PUBLIC school and a PUBLIC school does not discriminate against students who might have homosexual parents, single parents, step-parents, remarried parents, etc.

If you are going to involve heteronormative stories in school children's readings, it's only fair and sensible to include alternative home situations.

It's PUBLIC school.

If it has, I'll bet you $50 that they will either not tell the parents or lie about it.

Only if you subscribe to the social liberal fraud of moral equivalence.

"Heteronormative" familes are the bedrock of our civilization. The gay lifestyle is incapable of generating families and any suggestion that "gay families" are morally equivalent is an outrageous and dangerous fraud.

The father ought to have the right to opt his child out of this garbage.

What about parents who are Christians and are trying to raise their kids in a Christian environment? Are the Christian values placed on an equal and level plane as any other value or lifestyle?

Is creationism taught with dignity and respect?

When kids hear about Johnny's 2 daddies, and the loving and wonderful relationship they all have, and the wonderful things that Johnny's daddies do in the community. Do they also hear of Becky's mommy AND daddy? And all the wonderful things they do as a family. And the things that Becky's parents do at their church and community?

Then the sensible response to the public indoctrination centers laughingly called "public schools" is to close them, shutter them, sell them at market prices to private school operators (no subsidy whatsoever so as to keep the evils of the courts away). Those "parents" who want their kids taught to think homosexuality, abortion, et al., acceptable ways of life will be free to fund their own schools and conservatives will be free to fund ours only and to educate our kids as they ought to be educated.

We need a constitutional wall of separation between schools and state. Fire the entire public school staff and let them apply for jobs at the resulting private schools. Revise state constitutions as necessary to get rid of the "free public schools" provisions that infest most of them.

Churches can come to the rescue of poor kids. Ask their parents whether they prefer to have their kids receive a religiously oriented quality education subsidized by churches or whether they would prefer that their kids learn "fisting" and treason at the secular humanist kindergarten. We will take our chances in the free market.

Think how much money will be saved by getting rid of that portion of taxes which is now squandered on leftist and secularist indoctrination at "public schools."

"Heteronormative"? As opposed to what, "homoabnormative?" AIDS results from ignoring the laws of Nature, not from unusually bad luck.

What a joke. "Heteronormative"? Hey, why not present cannibalism on the same level as non-cannibalism. It's only fair and sensible to include alternative dietary choices. Or are you too "cannibalnormative" to understand that cannibals are people too?
