Dr. Charles McVety, President of the Institute for Canadian Values writes in the Canadian Times:
The Newly proposed, Ontario curriculum, which teaches six genders (male, female, transgendered, transsexual, two-spirited and inter-sexed) is being taught by teaches in Toronto schools and is confusing to our children. Our precious, impressionable little boys and girls, as young as eight years old, are forced to “role play opposite (gender) roles” and even search images of Pride Week. The curriculum is mandatory without parental notice or option to withdraw their children.
Last year, parents voiced their concern over this same material. The Premier promised to withdraw the program. Instead the Ministry of Education transferred the teaching to another department, refaced the curriculum and belligerently continued to teach this special interest material. The Ministry admonishes teachers “to address controversial issues” even in the face of “negative parent response”. Teachers are further warned if they omit any of the curriculum then they will be guilty of “foster(ing) a poisoned environment”. The fact that they include such a statement means that the Ministry knows that parents are upset but just don’t care.
Would you teach your eight-year-old child, six genders and to question his or her gender? If not then your home is a “poisoned environment” according to the reasoning of Ontario’s Ministry of Education.

Only six? What about fairy princesses trapped in a human body? I personally know several of them.
Time for a border fence.
And here we go. Let the fun begin.
'Two-spirit' people is a Native American thing. It's cool that they teach it in schools.
Parental rights are nil in Canada, because they signed the UN CRC. Children are wards of the state. Parents have their work cut out for them, to retract common sense. I suppose this means marriages can be conducted for partners a-f. Perfect for polygamy/polyamory, LOL.
Whoops--teach common sense, not retract it.
This is child abuse on an industrial scale.
It truly terrifies me that the parents of these children have not defended them.
Is it possible that parents have become such mindless and obedient slaves to evil, that they would sit back and allow their children to be warped in this way?
What has happened to us?
Rick asks
Q. What has happened to us?
A. Feminism & the gender left...
It's unbelievable how evil the homosexual special rights special interest group has gotten, even while characterizing people that oppose them as evil, ad nauseam.
The SB 48 repeal effort didn't collect enough signatures again. It's a strict grassroots effort.
History textbooks are being rewritten right now, to include (the now legally required) transgenders and homosexuals -- whose insertion is not based on their worthiness of inclusion in history textbooks, but rather because they:
* Had their healthy breasts or sex organs cut off.
* Had anal sex with other men.
* Had foreplay with other women.
The law prohibits instruction that reflects adversely upon them.
The politicians wrote "lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans" into a law in a list of ethnic groups. Ethnicity is an immutable characteristic.
This is indoctrination in the guise of teaching history. Is it any wonder the youngest voters support redefining marriage more? The politicians in Sacramento are forcing teachers to teach (brainwash) K-12 students to think that way!
The politicians here will whore themselves for homosexual campaign contributions. Even the uber-liberal LA Times, which is 100% in favor of redefining marriage -- at least the journalists that write about homosexual issues -- published an editorial opposing SB 48.
http://articles.latimes.com/2011/apr/08/opinion/la-ed-textbook-20110408
That is child abuse.
Children in our families and our schools are taught respect for the diversity of beliefs, races, religions, gender identities, etc. There is a difference between genders and gender identities. Whether you like it or not, these gender identities exist, and deserve respect from the government and secular societies. It is up to you, to decide how they will be "welcomed" or not in your homes and religious denominations. There are differences in the way different Christian denominations embrace or not these identities, all speaking in the name of the same Christ.
This is child abuse
Canadian government should be held responsible for child abuse
The important notion is that all these gender identities deserve equal recognition and protection under the law. Your religious denomination does not, and indeed should not, hold dominion over a diverse secular society and government.
Fidele, the Canadian government has no jurisdiction over education, a provincial jurisdiction. The quoted decision is relevant to the Province of Ontario. Before commenting about our constitution, you should inform yourself on the matter, as I do when I comment about the US Constitution.
Keep pretending it's all about religion, even if that was never mentioned in the blog post.
I'm not a person of faith. Another poster just wrote that he or she wasn't religious.
But don't let that stop you from claiming that disapproval of using schools to indoctrinate or brainwash children is all about people trying to impose their religion on society.
The way homosexual special rights activists are using schools to go after K-12 children's minds disgusts me. It's for political purposes.
Politicians are serving as handmaidens of this special interest group.
Have they replaced the Pledge of Allegiance with "It's okay to be gay," yet?
Our thoughts (dwelling on something) become our actions. Our actions become our habits. Our habits become our nature (or the “natural” thing we do). Our nature becomes our character (or “who I am”). Our character becomes our destiny.”
The destiny of many of our children will be changed.
(The above is not in reference to those born that way, whom cannot be influenced. But to the 80 to 98 percent of our children who where not born that way but can be taught to try that way and develop habits and or confusions that way.)
Claude is here to shill for criminals who want to recruit young children for the homosexual lifestyle.
Is there anything more disgusting than the cowardly spectacle of Canadian parents meekly acquiescing in this mass-scale child abuse?
WAKE UP CANADA!
Preserve Marriage, another blind soul, absolutely certain in his own mind that kids in the U.S. and Canada, show up to school only to be taught gay sex and secretly sworn to a cult of rabid anti-heterosexual practices. It would be laughable if not for the vehemence with which they profess this to be real Truth ( are you reading this DoE?) and, yet, they most likely haven't set foot, let alone spent time, in a public school. But that's not important because someone told them this is the way things are done.
Preserve Marriage: Your notion of marriage is rooted in religious tradition, whether you are a practicing Christian or not. The objective reality is that procreation is alive and well, and the fact that 6-20% of the population is gay, and some may marry, won't change that fact. Another well documented fact is that same-sex parents (adoptive, for one or both) provide loving nurturing environments that allow children to develop in physical and psychological health.
Two biological parents raising the children is not the only healthy model out there. Maggie Gallagher, who successfully raised her son as a single mother is a glowing example of a different model, even though she claims that the only model is the 2-bio parent one (I can't explain her self-contradiction).
Good News: Good to read you acknowledge those who are born that way. As for the risk to those who aren't, anyone I know who is on the heterosexual end of the continuum, and who decided to try it to find out for sure, has remained heterosexual.

http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/gay-journalist-lets-face-it-we-want-to-indoctrinate-children
Neither Good News, nor anybody else, has any scientific basis whatsoever to conclude whether, or how many, gays are "born that way".
What we do have scientific basis to conclude, however, is that the human species is constituted in two complementary genders, each of which is necessary for the procreation of the species.
What is being proposed in Canada is mass child abuse, and a crime against humanity.
Wow, I belong to an elite club. Aren't you jealous Barb that you can't be one of us? Oh well, Barb, at least we share the same society, same constitution, same rights and responsibilities AND marriage. It's a wonderfully diverse world, isn't it Barb?
This is sick. I pray these twisted "lessons" never come to U.S. You have the right to live the way want, but in noway should it be promoted in the classroom. A child shouldn't be taught that there are mentally ill people who think they were born in the wrong body. Yes I think people who think they were born in the wrong body need serious help. I apologize if I've offended anyone but that way of thinking is not normal.
You don't need a study to understand that society is going down the toilet and what is going on around us is evidence of it.
There are only two genders. Male and female, you either born as a male or born as a female, now I know that there are some people who sort of blur the lines between the two because of some condition they were born with, but it doesn't disprove the above I have mentioned. There is already too much sexual confusion and emotional trauma inflicted upon the youth as it is, we don't need to dump this unto them.
I am also deeply disturbed by some of the posters on this blog who condone this kind of curriculum being approved.

There is no such thing as a 'gay' gene. Studies have just shown that some have a propensitiy toward that , work with me here,,, 'behavior'. Just like some people have a propensity for alcoholism. Until they discover something besides the X and Y chromosome, they are going to be having a lot of arguements with the science department.
I hope this doesn't turn out to be a duplicate comment from me (the 1st one didn't post for some reason).
This NOM blog post is old but it's a classic:
Queerty: Can We Admit That We Do Want To Indoctrinate Kids?
http://www.nomblog.com/8519/?doing_wp_cron
Statistics do not show a single gene at work. The current state of science is best expressed by the APA statements, including the observation that most people experience little or no sense of choice about their sexual orientation.
Thankfully, mothers and fathers can still teach correct principles and morals in their home, such as abstinence before marriage, and monogamy in marriage (a man + a woman, of course). Happiness in home life is most likely to be achieved when based on Christ's teachings.
People can always choose not to engage in sexual behavior outside of marriage between a man & a woman. The healthiest societies practice sexual and fiscal self control, and place a high value on marriage and responsible procreation, which can only take place in opposite sexed couples.
Zack, do yourself a favor. First determine, for yourself, that you anything to e concerned about. Get into your schools. No more here say. It's too easy to spout the lie; determine the truth for yourself.
@Zack
... what?
"There are only two genders. Male and female ... I know that there are some people who sort of blur the lines between the two because of some condition they were born with, but it doesn't disprove the above I have mentioned."
It doesn't? Exactly how doesn't it? You don't have to look for a few seconds to find a story of a child who was born intersexed, had "corrective surgery" at a young age, and turns out has never felt comfortable in the role that they were shoehorned into by (usually well-meaning) parents and doctors who didn't know any better.
Just because they're in the minority doesn't mean you can just discount their experiences entirely or pretend that they don't exist... or, well, maybe it does. This is NOM, after all.
DoE: Yes, you have that freedom in your homes and churches. As long as you don't impose them on those who don't belong to your denomination, no problem.
It is the very essence of pseudo-marriage arguments to rewrite the entirety of law based, not on what is common and what is good, but on what is uncommon and exceptional.
This is, exactly, why pseudo-marriage laws result, *inevitably, by force of logic*, in nightmarish absurdities such as we see now being foisted upon innocent children in Canada, forced to "role play" their "gender identities" in the "six genders".
This is child abuse, and it is a crime against humanity.
These children are being used as lab rats in a social engineering program of stupendous evil.
Vote accordingly this November- it's our last chance to stop these freaks here in the USA.
And, in the USA, we hacmve the freedom to teach those values in public places and vote those values in elections. Bless the USA--freest country on earth!
@Claude (#9),
Keep spinnin' it. You can't change your gender with a surgeon.
"gender identities"?
Is that like a new expression to facilitate redefining gender?
I was taught in science class that if you had two X chromosomes, you were female -- and that if you had an X and a Y chromosome, you were male.
You can claim you're a woman trapped in a man's body, have your body mutilated all you want, and claim to "identify" with the opposite sex. None of this changes your gender.
Keep muddying the waters.

That "well documented fact" was "documented" by 59 studies that were all exposed by Professor Loren Marks, in the journal Social Science Research, as junk.

Marks demonstrates that they have serious defects respecting “sample size, sampling strategy, statistical power, and effect sizes”—and in general that they lack methodological rigor.

I also stated that there are exceptions to the rule. Just because some people have this phenomena does not mean young impressionable minds should be subjected to learning it. And to answer your first question. There is only male and there is only female. You have someone who is intersexed(a biological phenomena, not a gender), if it turns out that their anatomy is the exact opposite of their physical appearance, how is correcting that so that their physique fits the anatomy wrong?
"Just because they're in the minority doesn't mean you can just discount their experiences entirely or pretend that they don't exist... or, well, maybe it does. This is NOM, after all."
I don't pretend they don't exist, you have clearly twisted what I have said. Children should not be subjected to this kind of curriculum, there is enough sexual confusion going on in this world without having them question their gender.
Hello Zack. I have concern over your statement "Children should not be subjected to this kind of curriculum,.." I fear your position stigmatizes a normal biological variation. It is a fact that there are intersexed children in the schools. Being afraid to acknowledge their existence to their peers sets them up to be perceived as unnatural and freakish. Intersex is not an issue of morality nor should it be treated as such.
SSMer claims about Canada:
1. "Children in our families and our schools are taught respect for the diversity of beliefs, races, religions, gender identities, etc."
False. See example of Catholic schools being barred from respecting Catholic teachings on human sexuality and marriage.
2. "There is a difference between genders and gender identities. Whether you like it or not, these gender identities exist, and deserve respect from the government and secular societies."
False. Your assertion is based on highly controversial theories that are not substantiated by hard objective scientific evidence.
That you stand against moral truth, and against good science, is your choice. But your choice does not change truth nor change science. It only means you hope to make excuses for your sloppiness and foolhardiness.
Society need not join you in the quicksand you choose to sink into.
3. "There are differences in the way different Christian denominations embrace or not these identities, all speaking in the name of the same Christ."
People err in many ways that you favor but that stand against the moral truth. It is up to you whether or not a church is made subordinate to the political whims of the day. Meanwhile, Christ embraces all of us -- despite our errors -- and there are legitimate degrees of culpability. You appear to be endorsing the highest degree of culpability as something good for humankind.
Meanwhile, Ontario schools are Canadian schools. And those who push for the policies noted in the original blogpost are those who advocate for Canadian-wide imposition of such policies. They are happy to encourage setting the Government against the parents of school children.
In fact, in Toronto, the school board pretends to be "co-parenting" the children who attend those schools. They mean that the government owns the children and that the parents are powerless to dissent on these matters. It is portrayed as a benign totalitarian systems, yes, but the efforts made to evade accountability and to sideline parental responsibility simply amounts to an admission on the part of the activists that their goal is unacceptable and that their means for imposing their view is likewise wrong.
This is what happens when a government ignores gender in marriage. Canada legalizes same-sex "marriage,' and now children are being taught that there are six genders against the will of their parents.
Chairm,
Excellent post!
I think it's almost common knowledge that one of the greatest fears of most heterosexual parents is that their children might become homosexual.
Some parents have disowned their children for that.
The school districts, under the command of the state governments, have impliedly deemed the desire of heterosexual parents -- that their children be heterosexual -- wrongheaded.
NOM's ads have pointed out that parents in states where marriage has been redefined, have been unable to opt out (or even get advance notice) that their young children were going to be taught "gay marriage" in school.
These ads have been successful, because heterosexual parents don't want their children to become homosexual!
These schools have disregarded the parents' feeling, deeming it unacceptable/discriminatory/hate/bigotry/bad/not politically correct -- or some other judgement they haven't actually had to communicate.
Rather than accepting *what is*, the school districts have judged the parents' feeling *inferior* -- without actually having had to have said so.
Lord Acton wrote, "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."
Children must go to school, the schoolteachers and administrators don't have to answer to the parents, the school districts are subject to the authority of the department of education, and the government is dominated by special interest groups (like the homosexual special rights lobby).
Maybe the schools should get out of the business of teaching morals/values/goodness/right/wrong, now that they've been exposed as so susceptible to the influence to politically-charged homosexuals and their money and lobbyists.
@Preserve Marriage
That is a great reason for why the Department of Education be abolished and School Choice be implemented.
Thank God that I don't live in Canada. It's one step away from being a Communist country.
Jane and others here should read a bit about the subject at hand before posting. Perhaps, they could start comparing the CIA Country Factbook and read about Canada and the US. We're not that different, and very inter-dependent.
Jane appears ignorant that the Canadian Federal Government is currently a majority Conservative government.
Using schools to indoctrinate children on behalf of transgenders and homosexuals is one of the worst things I've seen transgender and homosexual activists do.
Nevertheless, it's absolutely clear to me that they've found that they can contribute to the campaigns of state politicians and buy an "in" with the education departments and the schools.
Between SB 48, Harvey Milk Day -- and over half-a-dozen other California laws -- it's quite clear to me that paying politicians to pass laws to force teachers to propagandize children is exactly what they're doing.
At the federal level, they got the politicians they bought to write "sexual orientation" into hate speech laws and immediately tested it on a University of Illinois Catholicism professor.
He was fired for teaching Catholicism in his Catholicism class -- and then rehired, once people reacted.
Even as gay marriage dominates the other homosexual issues in the media -- because SSM activists need people to reconsider their initial reaction -- all kinds of disturbing laws are being bought and paid for as Joe Plumber sleeps.

You may disagree with me, but my statements are always researched and based on factual information and research. When I make a mistake, I post an erratum.
Where have you posted an erratum to the mistake that mothers are not female and fathers are not male, Claude?
Because that bit of insanity is only the first which must be imposed by any same sex "marriage" law.
Claude,
As you know, you could have written that Jane didn't know -- or wasn't aware -- but you chose to call her "ignorant".
We're all smart enough to know that this was a particularly offensive way to choose to put it.
Naturally, what appears to Claude as "conservative" is fairly liberal, by U.S. standards. It's relative. Real conservatism is about smaller government, strong marriage (the real kind--not the neutered farce), strong families, religious freedom, free speech, provident living, fiscal conservatism, high standards of morality (i.e. abstinence before marriage, monogamy after), integrity both personally and socially, etc.
Teaching the kids the genders are more then male and female is child abuse. Genetics are clear xx or xy. Anomalies are anomalies.
DoE: There is a difference between social conservatism and fiscal conservatism. There are also interventionist conservatives who believe in injecting money in the top 1% and it that it will trickle down (that has been show to be a total failure). Barry Goldwater was a fiscal conservative; he was a libertarian on social issues. The Republican Party is a mix of fiscal conservatives, social conservatives and interventionist conservatives (aka crony cons)
DoE: There is an important portion of Libertarians in the Republicans too.
DoE: About the Conservative Government in Canada, do you know where the Harper government is positioned on the spectrum? No. I would invite you to make a factual statement after informing yourself, instead of simply putting down preconcieved ideas.
Rick, nobody is proposing to force innocent children to act out perverted fantasies of child abusers (gay or straight pedophiles). If you consider giving factual information in school about people who exist, and deserve respect, as a crime against humanity, you are sadly mistaken.
Your threats are noted and I hope other posters, from the other side of the debate, will chime in to correct your facts and ask you to cool off.
Well, Claude, you lie specifically in this assertion:
" nobody is proposing to force innocent children to act out perverted fantasies of child abusers (gay or straight pedophiles)."
In fact this is precisely what is being proposed:
" Our precious, impressionable little boys and girls, as young as eight years old, are forced to “role play opposite (gender) roles” and even search images of Pride Week. The curriculum is mandatory without parental notice or option to withdraw their children."
So, you have lied again Claude.
Let us see if your plea for help is answered.
"Rick, nobody is proposing to force innocent children to act out perverted fantasies of child abusers (gay or straight pedophiles)"
>> Another lie, Claude.
"Our precious, impressionable little boys and girls, as young as eight years old, are forced to “role play opposite (gender) roles” and even search images of Pride Week. The curriculum is mandatory without parental notice or option to withdraw their children."
How, please, do you propose to cynically lie in such an open way, and somehow advance your cause?
Now let us consider my "threat", Claude.
I can speak only for myself, and I can solemnly advise you that no teacher will ever subject a child of mine to homosecualist mind control role playing fantasies.
Ever.
I, personally, will see to it.
The law is a matter of indifference in such a case.
I will prevent it, by any means necessary.
I sincerely hope there are millions upon millions of parents who will do the seams, and I expect that I am right about that.
Draw the appropriate conclusions, Claude.
What the parents should do is resurrect Lee Harvey Oswald and have him pay the premier as well as the board of education members each a short visit.
Homeschool, my choice is looking more and more like the right one every day.
Many leaning-lefters will state that resistance to changed approaches to gender issues stems from religious and other traditional superstitions. They say that they themselves are the reasonable ones, basing their case on scientific reality.
Uh-huh. Love to see those scientific discoveries of more than two genders. After all these years! My, my!
Claude is decieved by the lies he read in text books. If i were to put biblical scriptures unknowingly to him, in text books, then he would believe the scriptures. Claude seeks to be wise, yet he speaks as a fool. Wisdom truly is not his friend. All of his "research" leads him into true ignorance. He knows not what he speaks. Ignore him because he is blind and deaf.. He has eyes but cannot see, ears yet he cannot hear.
Claude serves a useful purpose here, in demonstrating to parents what is coming oif they do not defeat gay marriage and Barack Obama this November.
Since every parent reading this thread now understands that their own children are specifically at risk.......
Vote accordingly.
Joe Vadis that comment is way out of bounds. It ought to be deleted. Please don't leave such vile comments again.

So, it's ok to force a set of sexual views on young children but yet you can't teach children about God? What a hypocrites web we weave! At least one teaches morality all while the other teaches perversion.
Bev, in Canada, even the home school curriculum is being forced to include the homosexual agenda.
VOICED THEIR CONCERN? I WOULD HAVE BEAT SOME BUTTS AND REMOVED MY CHILD FROM THAT STUPID SO-CALLED "SCHOOL".
Leaving aside the moral and religious beliefs, from a purely biological standpoint, there are only 2 genders - male and female. Very, very rarely, you may have someone born with both the XX and the XY chromosomes but, again, that is exceedingly rare. It is considered an anomaly. Because it IS considered anomalous, it is the exception that proves the rule, not a rule into itself. This is pure biology. Those on the left pride themselves on always believing in science but dismiss it entirely when it doesn't suit their agenda.

This is institutional grooming as one commenter to the article pointed out. If this educational program is so wonderful why won't they let parents know about it and let them opt out if they don't want it. Maybe it's because their afraid large amounts of people would remove their children and it would gut the schools.
Thanks to the warped minds of the United Nations UNICEF drafters of Convention on the Rights of the Child Article 29 - d, educations systems around the world are at its lowest moral, behavioral values and intelectual standards.
Disguising sex with gender approach at school is masking introduction of pornography. Is this what United Nations meant in Article 28 - 3 by "...eliminating ignorance and illiteracy throughout the world..."
We would rather have our raised the good all fashion way learning proper math, language and science than preoccupied with sex at tender age.
UNICEF and the 18 members of the Committee on the Rights of the Child should be charged.
the thing i dont understand about the whole thing is why the canadian gov thinks its a needed subject to be taught. whats the point in teaching all of these things to 8 year olds in school when all its going to do is make their parents angry? its not like there not going to learn about them eventually anyways. its just like the sex edu. classes that we go threw here in the states. i dont understand the point. we already know what sex is by the age of 12. so whats the point in having a class over it? same concept whats the point of enraging the vast majority of the canadian parents to teach about somthing that their kids are going to figure out about threw society anyways?
This Claude person is a walking poster boy for the homosexual behavior is normal ilk. Cliches and phony research "data" are everywhere in his frantic posts, as if the truth can be bent around our urges
This isn't child abuse-it's just education. Children have the right to know about all the genders. Its not like they're going to "turn gay" just because a teacher taught them that some people are different.
I applaud them for teaching that there are more ways to identify than just male female. I think they should broaden it by adding gender-fluid and a couple other options.
I wish people would stop claiming that it is some agenda that the "gays" have to try and change people to "our" side of things. It's about educating children that there are many different ways to identify other than just male and female, as a large number of religions, and individuals who are not religious, swear that those are the only two options.
@Baker,
I was raised in a Baptist home, later transferring to Christian in my teen years. I went to a baptist school until 4th grade and then went to a public school for 5th grade. At the age of 12, I had NO idea what sex was. I didn't even know what a virgin was! Sex was not talked about except when I went through sex education in the public school. It was embarrassing to go through not having any idea what they were talking about. Learning about sex and safe sex from school didn't leave much of an impression on me, as I later learned the hard way. If my parents had been more forthcoming about talking about it and teaching me how to protect myself, instead of leaving it to the schools and my peers, I might not have had to go through the hard lessons that I ended up going through. Having learned this the hard way, I am open and forthright with my children about sex, safe sex, and that there are many way to identify not only with gender, but sexual identity as well.
Also, if the schools that I had attended had taught me about the different ways to identify, it might not have taken me 32 years to figure out that I was gender-fluid. That the lines between male and female are blurred for me. That I am not just a tom boy. Some days I'm male and some days I'm female, and sometimes the identity changes during the day depending on my mood, surroundings, and the different situations that I am in throughout that day.
Evie, please list "all the genders".
I'll list them all: male and female.
You think there might be more than that?
America is made weaker by its sins day by day. What if Islam takes over America. Uganda will be here. Wake up now or you will be hunted down.Think sharial law!! In other words think Judgment Day is near. America is a nation blessed by God. Now it has become an eyesore, and even an obamination before God.
God created human being in a family of one man and one woman. You! Who sit on the high seat in Washington have destroyed what God made. God will surely visit your iniquities and destroy your family first. You will find no place to hide your face, you! Who have made this nation an obamination.
Too much freedom without boundaries; freedom without responsibililty is real slavery. Slaves of sin! God is not deaf and blind, make no mistake, your blessing is about to be given to some other nation.
Look around Judgment Day is here! So, repent while there is still time-repent!!!
Eight-year olds are NOT capable of understanding all this hogwash - read up on your child psychology and educational psychology and child developmental levels. This is bad science, bad teaching, bad government. Again, the SSM movement does not care about children and children's needs. WE MUST PROTECT OUT CHILDREN!

READ UP ON ED PSYCHOLOGY - it is too early to teach 8-year-olds this hog-wash! Wait till jr. high and the mandatory sex-ed class - minimum wait.
What kind of an ego do you have to have to ignore all the child psychologists and educational psychologists? 8-year-olds are NOT able to understand this extra gender stuff without being confused. This is BAD educational science. SSM is a very delusional movement - one able to totally disregard the needs of children.
97%-99% of people do not exhibit homosexual behaviors. This is individualism at its worst.
This is awesome, if only the bigoted parents were taught this in school there would be no homophobia today. the little ones will think nothing of this today, and our future will be free of close minded religious zealots preaching hate.
