Reply to comment by LowGradePlayer in Paramore Had Lots Of Fun Protesting The ‘Don’t Say Gay’ Law At Their Florida Show by [deleted]

Do you support the government determining what is and isn’t age appropriate discussions about heterosexuality/homosexuality?

Do you realize there are an infinite amount topics regarding homosexuality/heterosexuality that have nothing to do with sex itself?

I support any government setting an age for appropriate discourse about sex, as long as it's before 4th grade.

But since heterosexuality and homosexuality are not necessarily about sex, but also affection, that part of the discussion should definitely be "free" at all ages.

There are infinite topics but none of them have to do with reading or math. There is no need to be talking about homosexuality outside of age appropriate sex Ed class - anything else is interjecting opinions onto impressionable kids when they should be learning core subjects.

Governments determine school curriculum across the country.

Parents can do what they want.

Lol if you support the law just say that. State sponsored erasure of gay people has nothing to do with school curriculum.

Parents have always been able to do what they want.

I say I did not support the law.

I also do not support disinformation

Barring a second grade teacher from being able to even mention their legal marriage is not about education, it's about erasure.

I mean, they can mention their marriage if they are straight, or read stories about straight characters, or do all sorts of things that reference heterosexual relationships and traditional gender roles, that's just conveniently not "discussing gender/sex."

Really, it's about protecting the parents, not the kids. They are afraid of having to discuss these issues with their kids because they are not mature enough for the conversation, not the kids.

Then what are all those parental committees for? Surely not because parents care about what their children are taught.
