Breeding Ignorance

This really ticked me off.

An elementary school in Eugene, Oregon temporary removes an exhibit on mixed identities due to parent protest. The photo gallery featured portraits of community members, including one transgender. The word queer was used on the caption written by the subject.

Some parents are upset because they feel they should be the one to bring up the subject of sexuality when their children are ready for the discussion. They felt ambushed. Hey! People with your heads buried in the sand, if your kid asks what “queer” means then they are ready for an honest age-appropriate discussion.

I wish the school didn’t take the exhibit down for a month before putting it back. I wish they said to those blockheads to shove it and realized that they are not the only people in the world.

Not all the parents feel this way. I’m sure it’s a case of a few outspoken parents who whine enough to get their way. I’m sure their kids are deadly afraid of asking their parents about any new words now. I mean ask “what’s queer?” and shit gets ripped off the walls at school, news reporters show up, mom and dad are having heated talks with the principle. Yes junior, Mommy and Daddy are mad because of something you said. Idiots. Now your kid’s going to hear words like rock candy, bong, or condom and guess who will they look to for guidance….not their own parents! That’s for sure.

Morons.
