Participant[quote=Shadowfax]But this is the point. Instead of my underfunded and lacking public schooling in Maryland, using a 1970s-era text book where every figure was white and male, the history we are encouraging be taught today would be MORE accurate and encourage more analytical thinking. The railroads west just didn’t magically appear–the Chinese labored and died to make them. That is part of our history.[/quote]
Well said, SF.

Participant[quote=gandalf][quote=paramount]Teaching tolerance is good.
Teaching either directly or indirectly that homosexuality is ‘normal’ – I want to opt out. And ultimately I think that is exactly what this bill is all about.[/quote]
Dang, that’s pretty homophobic.
Sounds like ‘issues’ to me.[/quote]
Sounds like the issue is a double standard: I should respect others views (and I do), but others don’t need to respect mine? I would guess that less than 10% of the population is gay, by definition that means being gay is not normal IMO.
Nothing wrong with being gay IMO – your life your business. I just don’t think it’s normal and I don’t want my kids taught that it is.
I want to opt out, period.

My daughter has green eyes. As do about 12% of the population. Not normal?
Nevermind. I just hope for your kids sake, they were born straight.
