Should it be the government's responsibility to teach math to the youth in America? If yes, then why?
What do you mean by 'in-depth conversation about homosexuality'?
It's unlikely that babies and diseases are going to result from learning math and language.
The public school system is a good thing. I've stated that I don't take issue with sex education in general. But, yes, I absolutely feel that parents should be ultimately responsible for their kids' sex education, specifically as there are cultural and religious perspectives on the issue that make it challenging to come to a consensus as to HOW this education should be approached and provided in the PUBLIC school system.
How in-depth should we go into discussion about sexuality in sex-ed? I respect that Reverend Rick has mentioned this underlying hypocrisy that I too see.
I don't have a problem at all with homosexuals or communicating openly about the importance of safe sex practice for the LBGTQ community. But, I don't think that the public school system is the place to promote any type of mindset, other than direct respect for the people within the classroom.
I don't need to know your sexuality Koldo, to speak with you respectfully and to engage with you in a public environment. And you don't need to get into my business either. We can promote a tolerant environment without talking sexuality. We can talk about sex and the importance of safe sex without discussing sexuality.
If the public school sysems go there, I hope people see that there's no difference in the religious kids trying to bring their religious stuff into school. EXTRA STUFF that doesn't belong. Yes, you want youth to be tolerant of everyone...I want my kids to be tolerant and kind to everyone...but I'm teaching these lessons at home...I don't expect it from the public school system.
