                  • It can't because most parents (read this board!) are NOT - tolerant nor open-minded. - nm
        • I still think it should be the parents who teach the child these things, not the school's place. - MeMT
          • In too many cases, that would just perpetuate - the myths, fears, and hatred.
            • But this is not a school-wide accepted teaching practice, it is individual (nm) - MeMT
              • Maybe not in the midwest, but in San Francisco, - tolerance is taught in our schools.

                      • haha - I've seen a penis or two in town, but golly - - never taking the time to see a vagina!
                • No, in the MW our kids go to school to get an acutal - education - how silly of us nm
