So teaching certain elements of sexuality earlier is probably necessary, because they will encounter it on TV and on the internet in the worst possible way at very early ages. If not in our homes, in others. There just is no good way, other than just not having tv or internet and living in some sort of self isolating group, to keep it out.
Secular society will define what is the 'right thing to teach' according to secular principles. Even if it is done without an agenda, just the facts as it were, in our society and culture, LGBTQ... issues will likely need to be dealt with. And a state sponsored school can't really attach religiously based morals to that. The can emphasize the issue of disease transmission and unwed pregnancy - health and other lifelong consequences of risky behavior.
So the church and the parents, if they want to instill their values, are going to have to get on that train early too.
Censorship for kids doesn't exist in an isolated groups. There are hundreds of parents from all walks of life who censor their kids media We teach our children to spot the bad the way a banker teaches a new teller how to spot a counterfeit bill. We let them handle a lot of moral sites and moral shows just as a banker has a new teller handle 1000's of real bills so that when they see the fake/immoral one, they know it.

But I will agree it counts as indoctrination to a way of viewing the world that for many is not what they want their children taught. And if freedom of religion truly is to be respected, then the government run public schools can't be allowed to become temples of indoctrination against the religious beliefs of their pupils or their pupil's parents.A happy family is but an earlier heaven.

How Activist Teachers Recruit Kids
Leaked Documents and Audio from the California Teachers Association Conference Reveal Efforts to Subvert Parents on Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation
Incensed parents now make news almost daily, objecting to radical material taught in their children’s public schools. But little insight has been provided into the mindset and tactics of activist teachers themselves. That may now be changing, thanks to leaked audio from a meeting of California’s largest teacher’s union.
Last month, the California Teachers Association (CTA) held a conference advising teachers on best practices for subverting parents, conservative communities and school principals on issues of gender identity and sexual orientation. Speakers went so far as to tout their surveillance of students’ Google searches, internet activity, and hallway conversations in order to target sixth graders for personal invitations to LGBTQ clubs, while actively concealing these clubs’ membership rolls from participants’ parents.Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...

And frankly I see nothing wrong with restricting and monitoring every show my kids are allowed to watch. I'm not the only parent in my Catholic homeschool group that does it; and I learned some of the techniques regarding disabling internet access on individual electronics from 1) an atheist mother who monitors everything her kids do and see and 2) a lady in the neighboring town who attends a very liberal disciples of Christ Church who also censored the internet for the sake and safety of her daughter

My comment goes more to the inevitability that in the world as it is, children will encounter inappropriate or corrupting influences at ever younger ages and so parents and churches (and schools) also have a responsibility to try to reduce the negative impact of that reality. But the public schools will use secular standards for both defining what should be taught, and defining what is a negative influence. So the churches and the parents also need to deal with issues early on and not rely solely on their capacity to create a protective shell against those same influences. They are everywhere. And they find ways in we can't always predict.My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1
If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26

They also have a responsibility to teach the science of biology, and to a certain extent human behavior. And that spills into this as well. You can't ban gay or transexual kids from attending the public schools, you can't encourage or tolerate behavior that abuse them, even if it stems from religious values taught at home. So you must teach and enforce at the very least tolerance for them, a sense of looking at how to get along and appreciate what is good in others. You don't have to, and should not, teach children they should try to be like other people, but just be themselves. But that too is going to happen. Some children are attracted to the different, the exotic. And every child struggles with who and what they are as the enter puberty.
You cant pretend it doesn't exist. It's all around us. And you can't really stop it from becoming more acceptable if it is normalized or tolerated. You either encourage hatred or you allow it to be accepted. I see no realistic middle ground here.

I neither agree nor disagree, in that you paint with too broad a brush. Schools can't teach specific religious values as good and godly, we agree. At the same time, schools have a responsibility to teach, and enforce, basic moral behavior, and civil behavior. For example, schools teach cheating is wrong. They punish it. Stealing as well, they do not allow physical abuse, or bullying ( at least we don't want them too ). These are all moral values, and in some cases illegal behaviors. They are also common to most religious teachings but not all. Some of that spills into sexual behavior. Especially if it breaks existing laws.

Good.
Again, I have no problem with teaching kids to treat others well - but that is what is not happening with the countless examples that have been mentioned. And like I said we should not be highlighting every possible sexual deviation.
We can and will keep it out of the schools as far as it being taught and promoted. And the reason it is being normalized is because the left is pushing it to be normalized. ...
This is what I'm seeing anyway.
As for you final question, I refuse to answer it on the principle that it is staged as a litmus test for 'true' faith in Chist.Last edited by oxmixmudd; 04-18-2022, 12:53 PM.My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1
