Ignoring the stereotyping commentary, this idea still just seems crazy.

Surely schools for the most part should stick to their subject matter?

I understand including references to alternate sexual and gender identities in Social Studies or teaching about safe same sex in Sex Ed classes. But "LGBT vocabulary" "making symbols linked to the gay rights movement"?

Seems to just be pushing an agenda on kids... And even if it's an agenda I agree with (gay rights ARE important) I don't see it belonging as a major part of a school curriculum...

Look at this tree. I cannot make it blossom when it suits me nor make it bear fruit before its time [...] No matter what you do, that seed will grow to be a peach tree. You may wish for an apple or an orange, but you will get a peach.
