A bad thing, if you insist to teach it to children teach it in high school where students are mature enough to form their own opinion about it and decide if they support the LGBT or not. Other than that it's propaganda and brainwashing children who still can't form their own opinion
if they include it with the rest of history that's fine, but it seems weird if they want to make an entire class on it
It would cause everyone to walk out of class all gay & shit! Kids would be turning gay by the minute and then we'll be surrounded by gay people every fucking where!!!
If it will be taught in schools, we would have less problems in the society because it will see like the normal thing that it is

I think middle school pupils (Ca. 14 - 15 years old) and high schoolers (Ca. 16 - 18 years old) are mature enough to learn about what sexuality means and which ones that exists. You can't form an opinion as easily if you don't get to learn about different things. The school is supposed to teach about both heterosexuality, homosexuality and bisexuality in a neutral way. Same applies to LGB-history and rights. Then it's up to each one to form their own opinion based on what the school has informed them about. School should be honest about both politics, religion and sexuality. In a democracy it's important to be informed.
I think teaching teenagers and children that there exists tomboys and feminine boys are okay too. In a modern society it's important to know not everyone are gender conforming. Some boys likes the color pink and wearing dresses, but still be boys and some girls may like the color blue and cars as girls. The transsexual thing is too complicated for young people to understand from my experience, so I think that topic could be brought up when they're almost adults. Perhaps around 17 - 19 years old.
That's not something that should be taught in school. At that age, they don't need to know the history of SJWs.
LGBTQ... the Q stands for questioning. Now why would you so eagerly want to teach this to children at such a young age some even preK? Now these kids are questioning which one they are. But guess what, straight or heterosexual isn't in there! Why not throw an S in there and let kids know it's okay to be the gender your born and be straight? No they seem to like confusion and division. Has anyone seen the new 24 step math process for simple equations they are teaching now? We've got much bigger problems in this country than figuring out which gender you identify with and what your sexual orientation is. Where are the anti racism lessons? Manhood and womanhood lessons? Business solutions? Teach the kids how they can open a certificate of deposit or kids saving account and let their money accumulate for years while in school. People will be people whether LGBTQ or S! But they know they can influence the mind of a child easier to participate and experiment with these beliefs they have. Teaching this in high school would be too late as most would already have decided if they are LGBTQ or S on their own which is how it should be, hence rendering this "teaching" useless. But no the agenda is to start turning these kids out early because the next letter they will add will be P for pedophiles. After all... "science" explains how its natural for grown men and women to be sexually attracted to little boys and girls.
a History does not just belong to one country, one race, one religion, one culture, or one sexual orientation. History belongs to us all. One cannot change what has actually already happened and so to teach it, is to inform one about the world around them. There are a lot of aspects of history that a lot of people would prefer were not taught in schools now, and yet they are, and so this idea that one should just cherry pick what parts of history suit you, is not really in league with what teaching the history of the world is all about.
I don't care what subjects are being taught in public schools, as long as their presentation adheres strictly to what is objectively true.
For instance, it would be appropriate for a public school teacher to state "Gay marriage was effectively federally legalized by the Supreme Court's decision on the case Obergefell v. Hodges, on June 26, 2015." However, it would not be appropriate for said teacher to state "You are immoral if you don't support legal gay marriage." (however much I personally agree with that statement).
Then again, this is coming from someone who fundamentally doesn't believe public school should exist in the first place. If all schools were private, they would all be operating on a 100% voluntary basis, so there would be no need to argue about what should and shouldn't be taught, because if you personally disagreed, you could simply take your money to another school.
It's bad along with this hole trans and gender fluid thing. To teach this allows for influence. If someone want to know then teach or offer council and advise. But it shouldn't be a forced taught it's nothing more than educational rape of a young persons minds and emotions.
It's wrong for the LGBTQ community to force this belief in the educational system. Children are easily molded and manipulated. It should only be taught in highschool or after highschool such as collage or University. Some schools are teaching it in kindagaren and pre School.
So since the LGBTQ community wants this in school let's ad some straight education to the class too.
These gender fluid ( gender confused ) LGBTQ should only be taught as a elective class and only with a parent's written permission and subject to a meeting with the parent student and teacher before the class starts
You don't think sexuality should be taught in schools, yet many schools in various countries teach Sex Ed. Why would one be OK but not the other?
Sex Ed, though I personally think is lacking in finer details, is very important for kids to learn about their bodies and what they are going through. Not teaching them isn't going to stop anybody from having sex and at least they could do things safely and make informed decisions that may help them greatly in the long run of their lives.
The same goes for LGBTQ whatever it is these days. Knowing more helps those struggling with their sexuality and it also helps others with tolerance and understanding, even if they don't agree or it doesn't relate to them directly.
These things exist and won't go away by not talking about them. Knowledge is power.
Well it's against my religion, so I strongly disagree with anything other than the idea of "straight." I would not want to promote, it let alone teach the idea to kids. I know I'm going to get a lot of hate for this, but bring them on. This is my opinion so no one can say my opinion is wrong because I have never claimed my opinions to be true. You claim your truths just as I claim mine.🙂
No, if I had a kid and teachers were teaching it LGBTQ without my permission, them teachers better run for their life cause I am coming after to turn it into an action movie. Mmm.. with permission? they better f* off. It is none of their job to teach my kid about useless stuff such as LGBTQ history which does not even exist. They better educate my kid about world history, and human anatomy and sexuality.
It makes sense to teach them the general rule and have them understand that there are exceptions, but there is no reason to waste their time on dwelling on every exception. No discipline does that, so why would sex education do it? Not to mention that there's those people that would go to take jobs at schools just to indoctrinate the kids on their ideals. Even sex ed without all this was quite problematic, as they wouldn't hire usually men, and the most knowledge comes from the perspective of women, most of them not knowing that much about men. I believe the sex ed is screwed up enough already to add more stuff to it. I don't see how the knowledge about the history of LGBQT would specifically help you in life over some useful economics which are plenty ignored.
Its something that should never be taught to children.
Why must this garbage be forced down our throats. Children need a safe clean enviroment not learning about sexual orientation. What a travesty this is becoming. Just like gender speech non of its relivent at this age. Kids need to be children not sone sick puppet or game that you can play with.
Now I know many will hate my choice I get it. Stop perverting children. Stop teaching the abnormal is correct. Stop making it a hate crime when someone doesn't agree with your ideology. Stop making children believe in the mentally ill ideas or dellusional thoughts.
Teaching the history of lgbtq is no different than teaching things like the history of women’s rights or segregation.
The history of all of these things marks the progress that has been made for certain groups and teaches what things were like before any progress was made.
We’ve gone from gays being stoned to death in public to gays being legally allowed to marry.
It’s wrong to pick and choose which aspects of history to teach.
Imagine if schools never taught us about slavery or the holocaust just because people didn’t like those topics.
Schools aren't even teaching regular history correctly. Exactly what history on this would be there to teach anyway? I personally don't feel like this was something that was NEEDED.
I dont necessarily believe that it should be thaught in history class... in my country there is a special class for mental health. That also includes puberty with changes, sexuality topics, how to have sex, protection information and such stuff. We call it "inimeseõpetus" which roughly translates to human studies. It's a very good subject to learn as you know about stuff like periods early on. You also learn to solve problems and arguments. Which is again very useful. I dont know if America has it but i think every country needs it.
I think that's it's a good thing. And the important things would the the legal cases which resulted in gay marriage being legalized. As well as information about how slowly the stigma against LGBTQ+ people has lessened. Also, information about how the language around gender has evolved. The use of the singular they, for example, is now accepted in the dictionary. There will eventually come a time when children don't know that it ever wasn't that way.
It don't think it necessarily needs to be taught separately but incorporated in by mentioning if a historical figure wasn't straight and how that affected his or her life. I do think that the history of persecution should be covered like the laws against "gay sexual acts" acts could put people in prison or when gay bars used to be raided by police or even when people were killed in hate crimes. If people know the persecution they might understand the LGBTQ community more.
It is okay. It is good to teach about LGBT. It is knowledge that everyone should know. I actually i wish i had been taught about it, but thats impossible in my country. Everyone should be given a complete understanding that there are many sexual orientations.
I think the existence of heterosexuality, homosexuality and bisexuality along with being transgender should be introduced to teens at around their freshmen year (14-15 years old) or maybe in their final year of middle school (13-14 tears old). That's usually the time when they explore more about themselves with the big question of "Who Am I?". The concepts should be taught in a neutral manner and should bring forth to students understanding and respect each other's differences.
s It's a good thing. It's important to show to children that LGBTQ+ people exist and that they're part of society. Also, that they've always existed.
Children are the future of the world and by learning their History, they might turn out to be more tolerant and respectful than some adults.
Well done! 👏👏👏👏👏
Lol it's dumb af in my opinion there's much more important things too teach. And the level of acceptance for it has gotten out of hand girls sports are gonna be ruined in school and it's really sad. I don't think it should be taught to specifically be taught to accept them either it should be taught to accept every one. It's not even, a subject the, matters to almost anyone so it shouldn't be taught in school
