What fucking school did you go to that they taught civics to a 7 year old?

I don’t remember the exact grade, but we definitely had civics and touched on current events in elementary school, so 5th-6th grade or before. This was in public school in NJ, guess my home state starts ’em young.

And again, if we need to go in circles, I knew about marriage by the 2nd grade, and teachers mentioned people (even themselves in one case) getting married. As long as no actual mechanisms of sex are mentioned, what’s the big deal about a 2nd grader knowing that two people of the same gender got married?

Lastly, what if we created a hypothetical religion where same-sex marriage is OK and opposite-sex marriage is abhorrent? Would their followers have a right to go up in arms if a het marriage were mentioned in school?
