I've noticed that many people on this board don't seem to want tolerance or groups w/agendas "shoved down their throats" or down the throats of their children. On the one hand, I can see where a parent who disagrees with, for example, homosexuality, would not want it taught in schools. On the other, to many, it is a legitimate life-style that is seen as fringe simply because they are shunned by the public and children aren't exposed to it as a normal way of living...
I'm curious to know what you all think on this matter as I'm not quite sure where I fall. I want to say that tolerance is a great thing to be taught in schools but I'm having trouble thinking of a way that it can be taught w/o offending a large segment of the population....any thoughts?
