Zachary Wyatt, GOP Missouri Lawmaker, Says He Is Gay, Denounces 'Don't Say Gay' Bill

That doesn't mean it's a good idea.

Little kids don't need to know about the sex lives of historical figures. That's not what social studies is about.

Well, that's your opinion, however I disagree with you about little kids.

I support gay history to be included in social studies curriculum and it is supposed to help to reduce the bullying against GLBT students.

even at elementary school? If it was high school, I would see difference because one math teacher is responsible to teach full math course instead of teach off course lesson.

Especially at elementary school......that is where the math foundation is built

It is laughable if math teachers are going teach about gay culture or gay history because they are not belong to math subject.

When I was in math class at high school, we have no free time nor is recess, we get math lessons and homework everyday.

No, it doesn't mean the math teacher will be responsible for lessons about gay sex.

It means that a few minutes from each academic class (math, English, history, science, etc.) will be deducted to allow time for teaching about gay sex.

Each time something "new" is added to the daily schedule, those extra minutes have to be deducted from the "old" classes.

Maybe short people should be part of the cirriculum too so that people will stop bullying them. Oh and who about techie nerds....gonna have to add that too. Oh and people with overbites, buck teeth, clubbed feet,glasses wearers, fat kids, albinos, kids with freckles, kids with lots of moles, kids with braces, red headed kids,kids in sweater vests,mouth breathers, kids with asthma, kids with bulbous heads kids with long skinny noses,kids with........

Whew, cancel math......we have alot of things to teach now...

Ok, make sense.

I think that english, math and reading are most important, however my friend told me that science is important as well.

I feel every subjects (english, reading, math, science and history) are important for child to know.

The CA law doesn't say about elementary school, it is just up to school district about how to implement.

Let me reply to Reba's post and you will find my answer. Look #26 below.

That's not about gay sex but just history about gay. The gay history is part of social studies and it should take one social studies in one day to teach about gay history - not everyday. That's not much longer.

California law already requires schools to teach about women, African Americans, Mexican Americans, entrepreneurs, Asian Americans, European Americans, American Indians and labor. The Legislature over the years also has prescribed specific lessons about the Irish potato famine and the Holocaust, among other topics.

lol, I love your sense of humor.

No, we don't need to cancel the math. That why we need adopt strict anti-bullying policies and mandatory anti-bullying programs for all students.

You were only 7 years old when you were exposed to "gay things?"

Oh the humanity!

One day extra for gays, one day for women, one day for African Americans, one day for Mexican Americans, one for entrepreneurs, one day for Asian Americans, one day for European Americans, one day for American Indians, one day for labor, and so forth. You see, those days can add up. That's almost two school weeks worth of days right there.

Kids need to be taught not to bully at home but since there is a high percentage of divorce in our society they aren't being taught much at home these days it seems. The school is not the substitute for the parents when it comes to teaching about sex. May it never be so. Maybe an assembly with a special speaker to talk about bullying? What, oh I see that has already been an udder and ultra failure and was even sponsored by our government. Dan Savage came in and blasted Bible believing kids and cursed the Bible calling it "BS". What am I talking about? Here's a link. One Horrific Mistake! SAD!

***Warning for graphic language and persecution of Christians and the Bible.***

Every adult with children should watch this as this is what is being taught in your schools!

You are just silly.

Get a real, rest of your post is part of social studies.

Overall, that's your opinion, anyway.

Kokonut already posted in other thread so why bother to bring up in my thread.

Come on, I don't consider Dan Savage as leader of anti-bullying and he's just too nonsense. Not all anti-bullying programs are SAME like that.

We had anti-bullying program before and none of anti-religion involved.

Highest of bullying at school is related to GLBT issues, REALLY GLBT issues.

No, I don't think teaching to stop bullying at home is enough so anti-bullying programs should taken at school.

Do you think it is okay for your children to bully at gay people?

 

[airportcop]

No foxrac,

I don't think it is ever okay to bully anyone gay or straight. It is never okay to bash gays. But don't you feel that the bullying of the GLBT world and even in schools has lessened since it is more socially excepted now than any other time in history?

not really. that's why federal government, state government, mayors, and schools have come together to finally enact strict policy/law regarding bullying of the GLBT.

that's your best reasoning you can come up with? wow that's quite pitiful....

let me help you.... black history. women history. native american history. holocaust history. genocide history (ie. armenian, bosnia). can you think of one common issue that all of them have that they've been dealing with for decades?

bigotry. and persecution.

That's good about you think, however you don't have to deal with bullying because you are homeschooling your children - totally bully-free place to teach.

Unfortunately, it is getting worse than before and not all school have anti-bullying programs, even local school in my area don't. One of my neighbor told me that local school got some report about anti-GLBT bullying and her daughter is currently at high school so she heard about "gay" so often. Now, she hate high school in our area due to high teen pregnancy, bullying, threat letter and test scores are declining, even we live in good suburb and this school is over 95% white. Our state require all public school to adopt anti-bullying policies but it does not include specific, especially sex orientation and some school districts, especially Jefferson County School and few suburb school included sex orientation in anti-bullying policy, however surprise, Birmingham City School doesn't and their school district is poor and trashed, just similar to Detroit.

Often, without anti-bullying programs, students would have to bullying to realize about what kind of consequence they get for violation of policy. It is cheaper if teachers explain about school policies on first day of class and it is uncommon for teachers to explain about class rules, school district policy, dress code, tardy policy, etc.

I have heard about some straight students got bullied by anti-gay and labeled them as gay. That's extremely sad and I hate to hear any labeling against others.

I wish all bullies need to be stopped and it is immature to call gay, queer, faggot, etc. Just let gay communities to have normal life without hear any nasty bullies.

I'm victim of bullying and got out of school for 2 weeks due to psychiatric reason, even I was about couple of months away from graduation in 2006.

Yup, that's correct.

 

[Reba]

No bullying of any kind, for any reason, should be allowed.
