Has anyone told their school that their kids will NOT PARTICIPATE IN g*y WEEK ACTIVITIES?

Question

I want to know what flack ( flak?) to expect? Thanks. It is an elementary school.

Answer 1

I'd find out what the activities are and when. Then I would tell the school you are picking them up at those times for religous reasons. Use the time to do an educational field trip or some religous studies.

Answer 2

Its not seriously calle "g*y Week" is it? What is that doing in elementry schools. I remember in first grade my music teacher brought his boyfriend to class and was fired for it. WOW!

Answer 3

WHAT!? I think they're too young to be celebrating that.

Answer 4

wow g*y week in an elementary school, i didn't even know what that was when i was in elementary school, I'm on your side, if i had a kid i wouldn't want them to participate i mean what are they doing for g*y week. and there is no straight week,  i hate how minorities get holidays and stuff but "normal" people don't its pointless.

Answer 5

Why would anyone deny their kids the opportunity to learn about the different kinds of people they will encounter on a day to day basis as they go thru their lives.  

I haven't told that to my kids, nor would I.  I would imagine tho if you choose not to, that your wish would be respected and your child would get a different assignment to do.

Answer 6

I'm not homophobic by any means, but they have g*y WEEK at an Elementary school?!  What the heck.

I know that children are more aware of their surroundings than we'd like to think, but I think that teaching them about sexual preferance at an early age is just another example of the oversexualization of children.  

Let the kids just be kids, for pete's sake.  They don't need to have this stuff forced on them.

Answer 7

What kind of elementary school participates in g*y WEEK?  Why does this school seem to think it is ok to introduce such topics to children-whether you are pro-g*y or anti, that is not a subject to be discussed in the school system!  I would fight that one all the way!  Stick to your guns.

Answer 8

Whoa, hold up "g*y Week"? What on earth is that and why do they have it in your elementary school. What is the actual name of the event? Is this more angled toward diversity awareness? What kind of activities are involved?
