Reply #177: You need to learn what gender identity and sexual identity means. [View All]

Academically. Not what you seem to think it means, but what the academic community believes it to be.

"What's wrong with what the school is doing, insofar as I understand it, is to avoid grouping kindergarten kids into gender-specific groups, for the sole purpose of ensuring that heterosexual identities will not be encouraged."

No one at this school is trying to ensure that heterosexual identites will not be encouraged. All they are doing is ensuring that kids are free to express themselves as they feel fit without being forced into gender roles. Nothing is getting encouraged or discouraged. The mere idea that you think heterosexuality could be discouraged also seems to imply that you think there is a choice involved. A lot of the kids will engage in traditional gender specific behavior still and no one is discouraging that. This school is simply making it okay for the kids that blur the lines to blur the lines.
