[QUOTE="A.Hinkle, post: 3909779, member: 50585"] What you screen shot were a list of definitions relating to gender. Do you disagree that gender is inextricably linked to sex? Remember as well that this is a baseline education course; as we've agreed lgbt issues are particulrly important to address during a discussion around STI's. I'm not sure most 7th graders really understand what 'gay' means outside of using it as a playground insult. To really have a material conversation about the risks of STI's LGBT issues need to be brought up and a certain level of understanding of those issues is necessary. Even at the high school level, which this activity is designed for, wouldn't you agree that a student who is gay deserves sex education as much as the straight students? You claim they should just reach out to a third "John or Mary Doe", but do you really expect someone in the social pressure cooker that is high school to feel comfortable doing that? You may have had a point that the curriculum was misrepresented if this activity was 90% of the course and not a single activity included in a 3 week course, but this is like an atheist saying ancient history is Christian propoganda because it briefly discusses Christian persecution during the Roman Empire.
