    I've not said anything about "hating another student".

    That seems like a rather bigoted assumption. The three most popular religions in the world are Christianity, Islam, and Hinduism, and all three of them have at least portions of their adherents that condemn homosexual acts.

    If you had read the article in the OP, you would have seen that there were multiple teacherS doing the "fretting". Try reading the article next time.

    'Born that way' is a myth invented by the gay lobby. Of course, this doesn't justify homophobia.

    Not the phrasing I'd use, but some parents can be more of a destructive force when they insert their politics into the classroom. We all encourage parental involvement, but not the kind of censorship of certain material based on ignorance of the course and material. I remember being told by a few parents that Moby Dick promoted the Bible and Huck Finn promoted racism.

    Yet, it is still not the teachers job to tell kids to think like they do if said teacher is an extremist liberal or right winger. Teachers should foster students to learn both points of view. These teachers are apparently only teaching extremist left wing viewpoints. That is wrong!

    The tone of your post indicated a seriousness about dislike.
    But it's a teachers job to not have kids going at each other for the person they are. But to have them get along. If one wants their kids to dislike a gay person, then the parents can homeschool them or send them to a private school that thinks the same.
    A teacher in a public school doesn't have to put up with bigotry and hate just because the parents teach that at home.

    And I assume you are in USA, so that is majority Christian. But if you are Islam, so what. Same difference.

    Just like TEACHERS can be more of a destructive force when they insert their politics into the classroom, right?

    And very few teachers push their own agenda. Parents and administration come down hard on those who do. As I've said many times, it's the teachers' job to teach students how to think, not what to think. The media often confuses those two ideas.

    Very true. I've known a few of them who've tried that. They aren't teachers anymore. They are a rarity.

    Very similar to how Police are portrayed nowadays. A couple of very few rogue cops make all police look bad. I bet same happens with teachers. There are very few rogue teachers who are so extremist in their left wing ideology that they cannot help themselves in forcing kids to follow their rhetoric.

    I don't care who you are. If you are having interactions with someone else's child, and are afraid that their Parents might find out. Then you are sinister and up to no good....no different than a child molester, terrorist recruiter, or groomer for a cult, and ought to have you lights punched out. If this is standard curriculum in public schools, then Parents best get to firing everybody and replacing them with Teachers.

    True. And that's food for our stereotypes. We have a problem thinking of the world unless we reduce it down to simplistic stereotypes.

    It's the teacher's job to teach objective facts. Not to train kids what to think about those facts. A teacher can teach about homosexuality, but it is not their job to make kids love homosexuality. That is indoctrinating. Politics should not enter the classroom unless it is a class on civics or government roles. It should again be done objectively. I see many teachers today teaching facts and then framing them in the progressive narrative. It's very similar to the way our mainstream media spins objective facts, so they can control what people think about those facts. We are seeing the results of this indoctrination on almost all of our large inner city democrat run streets today.

    I take it you never met a teacher?
    They teach life moments when the situation presents it.

    Stopping bullying is one such moment.

    A person's sex orientation is not political. How do you not even know that. Sheesh.

    Ask Jerry Falwell Jr.

    What extreme viewpoint?
    What rhetoric?
    Do they still have a job? I would think a parent would bring it to the school board's attention and it be dealt with.

    It's also NOTHING to do with academics, and even less to do with children.

    It should not even be discussed. It's personal, private, cultural, and more importantly .. ADULT.

    Here's a thought. If your child is loudly expressing sexuality in school (which will always attract unwanted attention, irregardless of what that sexuality is .. because kids are kids!), then you've failed them as a parent. You should have taught them how to survive, not how to be a narcissist.

    Many religious people are taught to have pity and concern for homosexuals - it's nothing like hatred. But how would you know where it comes from in any case? In reality it's mostly just simple disapproval. Parents teach their kids all sorts of 'disapprovals', this is just another. We might teach them that we disapprove of welfare abuse/drink/drugs/smoking/gambling/whatever, but don't teach them to actively hate anyone who chooses those things. We teach them to avoid mixing with such people, but to be kind to the individuals if compelled to be in their company. That's also nothing like hatred.

    There is more truth in what you're saying than you might realise. Race theory is one thing, but gender/sexuality theory - when taught to children - is a sinister new variant of adult sexual abnormality. It's driven either by latent paedophilia, or an inability to accept that there are still some barriers to 'free love'. You're basically looking at latent paeds, or adults who prefer that nothing sexual is off limits. That last limit (childhood innocence) drives them insane. It's like a slight against everything they stand for. They can't stand that some people (ie, children) have a right to be exempt from 'knowing'.
