That was my problem when I read the thread. I don't want my kids to learn about life from a teacher, however, I'm sure the teacher didn't call them "fags" or "homos" whilst reading the story.

I know my child will hear those words on the street & I see Lil's point about addressing the fact that older kids are calling each other hurtful names.

My main problem is that Jax just tossed those words out there as if it was equal. I don't think the teacher was perfectly correct in her methods, however, equating it to her tossing the N & C words to very young children was offensive.




I agree & I'm stating that Jax was crude. At the same time, I'm attempting to show his post wasn't a good analogy.
