How would they form a negative opinion if they didn't watch it? Homosexuality is widely accepted these days. Doesn't mean we have to teach it to schoolkids.

What are you referring to by 'it'? Homosexuality or acceptance?

both

Just a thought...

There is a need to teach kids about homosexuality but perhaps it would be better received by the more "conservative" families if it was offered during sexual education classes.  It doesn't need to become part of a schools "culture" to fly gay pride flags or screen movies like this to the whole school community.  Why is there such a need these days to highlight sexual orientation all the time.  In the bigger picture, most kids, dont even care.  But in sex ed classes it can be shown in context beside a film about regualr birth perhaps.   

Teachers should be concentrating on teaching literacy and numeracy skills, geography, history, the arts, PE including basic sex education, science, social science.

So many young ppl leave school these days barely able to read or write.
