Shouldn’t the focus be on the accomplishments and not tied to sexual preference anyway?[/quote]
Yeah, I don’t get this either….Our government seems to like to prefer to stimulate our kid’s social sensitivity more so than making them competent/skillful adults in the ultra-competitive 21st century….only to discover that when they set foot on a foreign country, things are nowhere near as “fair” as things are here in america…But no worries, if our kids fall further behind in core skills, there’s plenty of folks from asia/india/europe who don’t have a problem filling those opportunities our kids should have had (end sarcasm)…
Respecting individuals should be a simple rule/law at school, that is covered one day or a few days at school… Namely, “if you harass/bully people based on ethnicity, sexual preference,etc, first time offense =suspension, second time offense = expulsion…” why have an entire class dedicated to “studying” is beyond me…
