It occurs to me upon re-reading this post, however, that my position could be misinterpreted. I agree that education which promotes, encourages, or seeks to justify homosexuality is a disgrace to our public school system. However, I would express the same sentiments about any kind of moral engineering in a state-operated school (particularly in a quasi-monopoly education system like we have now).

The job of teachers is to teach — to instill in children and teenagers the basic critical reasoning abilities they need to make choices and figure out their own perspectives on moral issues.

Parents, peers, and religious communities all have a role to play in providing moral guidance to children, but the state does not — at least not within the context of a free society.

In the true spirit of the separation of church and state, governments (whether liberal or conservative) should never abuse their coercive monopoly on education to brainwash and morally engineer new generations of citizens.
