Stacy Trasancos posted a very interesting post on her Blog today. I was horrified when I read how the teachers at a school in
Hartford had locked the school children into a school building. Why? Well to
force them to watch a play in which homosexuals are portrayed as normal and
heterosexuals as abnormal. It is clear from the reaction of the children that
many of the children clearly didn’t want to watch the play and found the idea
of two men kissing on stage repulsive.
I agree wholeheartedly with Stacy’s response.
I would however also add that the responsibility for the education of children
is always first and foremost the responsibility of the parents. If teachers
want to subject children to anything outside of the normal school curriculum,
they must consult with and get the explicit permission of the parents first. Teachers
have absolutely no right whatsoever to force moral values, especially ones as
contentious as homosexuality, on a child without that child’s parent’s permission.
