I am proud of Dr. Ash and the LPS for their careful development of a diversity curriculum. It is critical that our children are supported in this way. I hope that the LPS will continue also to work on reducing stigma that faces kids with disabilities, continue to start talking about diversity in families early on, and continue to educate for the future of our community: a community that will have all kinds of diversity.

When I read this over, all I could think was, "wow, if only they taught this stuff to us when I was in elementary school". I love it: children need to be taught to love, not allowed to hate.
Now we need a GSA at the middle-schools. I guarantee there's at least several students NOW in Diamond and Clark that would more than benefit from it. And to anyone who plays the "they're too young to know about it" card about putting a GSA in the middle schools; pardon my tongue, but if they're old enough to know how a penis goes into a vagina (fifth-grade health class), they're old enough to know that it's okay for two guys to love each other.
For what he's done thus far, endless thanks to Paul Ash! Keep it up!
Bump.
They took analogies out of school testing years ago in Massachusetts. Now I understand why, it's easier to argue socialist and Marxist values without logic.
It used to be a morals charge to corrupt a minor by instructing him in such things before puberty.
So much for the damn lie that Lawrence v. Texas was either about consenting ADULTS or activities in PRIVATE.
It fastracked the homosexual agenda into your classrooms.
