Maybe that is because you are "comfortably numb". Teachers are role models. If they want to display behaviors that are against the taxpayers' (parents') beliefs or morals, they should not be supported by tax dollars. If they want to run their own schools and display those behaviors, go for it! Use free enterprise to push your beliefs, not my tax dollars.
That's one way of looking at it, but there ARE gay folks out there, In Real Life,
as there are unmarried pregnant women,
and I'd rather our school system didn't TEACH bigotry...
I don't think it has anything to do with bigotry.
It's more to do with letting them live a childhood before real life hits them in the face. There's value to a decent childhood.
and how is having an unmarried pregnant woman or a gay person as a teacher indecent?
