I strongly believe that the parents are the ones who should act in a guiding fashion when it comes to their kids sexuality, not the teachers.

THE PROBLEM OF INDOCTRINATION:

Parents should honestly not have to worry about schools "telling" their children about homosexuality. And they don't have reason to worry about their kids "hearing" about it. Actually, did you notice? I said "telling", not "teaching" as the debate question above suggests. There's a big difference between "telling about" and "teaching"!

SAME-SEX PARENTING AND THE NECESSITY OF GENDER-SPECIFIC ROLE-MODELS

Likewise, I am appalled at the thought of a same sex couple acting as parents to a child who will then be interacting with my innocent, unsuspecting kids in school. In my eyes, allowing homosexual couples to parent a child leads to increasing gender confusion in our nowadays so "politically correct" society. How is that child ever going to understand what role to take in their adult life, considering that they are going to miss either a father or mother figure while
