Well here we have it kids, yet another example of opression and stupid STUPID people:

Go and have a read of that then come back and enjoy my rant ...
You read too slowly.
Now, firstly I'd just like to say good on who ever this teacher was for teaching this class. Secondly if I ever find out who this complaining parent was I will subject them to gay porn and take them to every gay bar in the country ... hell I'd like to visit every gay bar in the country myself, just to say that I've done it. Would be good fun. Anyway, I love the perspective that this "lesson" took, it's not asking the kids to imagine they're gay, it's asking them to imagine themselves being pretty much alone and ostracised. It's making it easy for them to relate to, with the example of someone of the same sex trying to make a move on them, they could use the feelings they already have. If the lesson had been the other way inclined, asking the students to imagine they were gay then they'd have a little bit more of an argument, but still not much. This is NOT brain washing, banning this is brain washing! The education minister, camel what ever her name is should be taken out and shot ... or kissed by another woman, I'm not sure which yet. Perhaps both.
If this "lesson" had been taught to a class of skinny kids and asked them to imagine they were skinny in a world of fat people, would people have kicked up a stink? No, they would not have, so what's the big fuckin deal? It was a freakin example for christ sake. On another note, it's not like this was taught in say a science class, this was a health class, personal development or what ever you want to call it. In these classes the kids have to learn about LIFE ... HOMOSEXUALITY IS A PART OF LIFE!!! You can't live your life with your head in the sand and ignore reality ... well you can, but you'd be a dick head. I know this is a bad example and I am in no way comparing homosexuality to an STD, but kids are taught about the reality of STDs in health class, why is it wrong to teach about homosexuality.
Discrimination is for lame asses.
