The term you used was 'sex educators'. The issue I take with this is that most of these teachers are not, in fact, sex educators. They are teachers pushing an inclusive agenda. And as we all know, the more inclusive one tries to become, the more exclusive they actual are. We used to have gay and lesbian. Now we have LGBTQQIP2SAA, LGBTIQAPD, and my favorite thus far, LGBTIQCAPGNGFNBA. Do you honestly believe that an elementary, middle, or high school teacher is equipped to handle ever single letter of the 'rainbow'? In the end, we may accept all people of ...
