For public schools, if it was federally or state-mandated that the instruction of human sexuality included a unit on homosexuality and various other gender/sexual identities/expressions, what information would you want included and/or excluded?
[Preface: hypothetically speaking, let’s say that ALL public schools teach sex education. Also, hypothetically speaking, let’s say that you have a child or a relative attending a public school.]
Some schools provide the option for parents to withdraw their child(ren) from sex ed classes. Would you allow your child(ren) to participate in basic (heterosexual, gender binary) sex ed taught in a public school?
If it was optional for you to pick and choose which lessons for your child(ren) to learn, would you be selective? If so, what would you NOT want your child(ren) to learn?
Finally, what information do you think should be included regarding gender/sexual identity/expression?
