[quote=jstoesz]If you can not admit that you want to teach other people’s kids your own worldview, then this discussion is pointless. The corollary here is that you also want to drown out other people’s world views in the process. This is absurd, and this game will never end. If you want the government to have this level of control, one day you will find yourself in the minority, with your tax dollars getting siphoned off in huge amounts to support things you find offensive. And that too is wrong![/quote]
A worldview is by definition expansive not exclusive. I don’t want to exclude ID from RELIGION classes, but I don’t have a problem with including as much detail about history as is feasible in the curriculum. In CA especially, there is a unique set of factors that made the state what it is today, and the homosexual population of SF in particular makes for interesting course material.
The article indicates that the schools will have discretion about when and how to introduct these materials. I don’t see any need to discuss sexuality as such, but just to attribute the contributions that different groups of people have made seems sufficient.
As for your property tax dollars, you could always sell your house and rent and then you wouldn’t have to worry about that part!
