Homosexuality in Elementary Schools

After reading Chapter 3 in the McNergney book, I have come to the conclusion that I believe that teaching students about different sexualities is acceptable.  This is because if a student grows up thinking that the only thing acceptable is a men with a woman, then they might be scared to come out to people if he or she is gay.  Many young teens commit suicide because they are gay and don't feel accepted.  So i asked the question of how people stand on teaching about homosexuality in schools.  When I researched this question, I found something that troubled me.  I found that in Tennessee, they passed a law that you can't talk about homosexuality in elementary or middle schools at all.  Gay-rights advocates were all over this new law.  They law only prohibits talk about homosexuality but they can talk about hetersexuality.  This is completely wrong! How are you going to let children talk about one sexuality but not another.  People don't choose to be gay.  If they like their same gender, then it should be fine.  This is the same as being prejudice.  We as a nation have gotten past the whole race thing basically so why are we started another war with sexuality.  This is ridiculous.  The gay-right advocates are saying that this is discriminatory because they are saying that homosexuality is off limits but heterosexuality is not.  What if a student in the class has a gay brother or sister?  They are refused to talk about it to anyone.  Since they are prohibited from talking about it, they must see it as something bad.  I can't believe that Tennessee has really passed a law that is so wrong.
