Participant[quote=paramount]Homosexuality is a behavior, not an eye or hair color.[/quote]
Are you sure, paramount? When did you decide to be straight? Nothing genetic about it? Seems to me, homosexuality is a part of the human condition. I think the figure is statistically about 10%, about 1 out of 10 kids sitting in that history class.
Setting personal journeys aside, is it really that offensive to add a couple of paragraphs about the gay rights movement to an American History textbook? The struggle for gay rights is part of our country’s history. Personally, I don’t have any problem with it.

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=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.
