I think the parents should co-operate with the school and show respect to the teachers who work so hard to educate their children.  If the parents don't set an example of valueing education and respecting those who teach their children, things won't improve.  Parents should realize that loving and supporting their children doesn't mean accepting everything they do without judgment.  If their children have done something wrong, they should accept the consequences and only this way can they guide them back to the right way.  How can a child know what's wrong and what's right when his/her parents say "oh, I love my child and will stand by him/her, no matter what or oh, I'm so proud of him/her... blah-blah-blah" when he/she has done something awful (getting pregnant, bullying others, getting into trouble with asbo...)and unforgivable (robbing, mugging, killing...).  Parents in this country are sometimes too tolerant of their children's wrongdoings and this is not the way to love their children.

Well aren't you the understanding soul.\n\nWalk in our shoes for a day.\n\nThen come back and tell us that its ok to let the hate go unreported.  Tell me then its ok to have the hate searchable.  Tell me kind soul, if your child was questioning his/her sexuality, and sought answers and what he found was hate, and venom saying he is worth nothing and going to hell.  Then kind understanding soul, when you do all that , then come back and say that we should just ignore the bad guys.  Thats what they expect us to do.  To lay back and take it silently on the cheek. Thats what thugs and bullies count on.  Their targets have long learned that they had better speak up because "good kind souls" will only offer you tsk tsk tsk  when the bullies, thugs and evil decide to take it the next step.\n\nIgnore them?  Not this queer, not now, not in this place

I believe people are inherently evil. When bringing up a child, you do NOT have to teach them to be bad, they already know that. But you sure do have to teach them to be good! interesting, I think!

There's a difference between being judgemental and teaching your children right and wrong.  There is a such thing as absolute truth.  That's what you should teach your kids.

basically, yes.\n\nin many cases, it starts with parents brainwashing their kids.  (which should be illegal)...\n\nbut at some point, kids grow up and should learn to think for themselves, and take responsibility for their own ignorance and change it.

Like any intolerant one!! Try to open your mind... if children like it let them play... it isn't harmful at all... but well just remember nobody likes some one who says "when I was a child we used to..."

Yes, but not as a science. School is a place of learning, and ID should be taught as one perspective among many. Censorship is not the way to go. Children should be taught how to think critically for themselves and taught WHY ID is not a science and how to make that distinction. Censorship robs them of the opportunity to know what the difference is, or even how to make the distinctions.

I wish I could say yes. But the fact is, as long as there are humans, there will be hate. I do believe younger generations are more open minded, but there will always ignorant ppl!

No--1st amendment.  If the radical group breaks the law, then the lawbreakers should be prosecuted according to the law.  It is not against the law to hate--it is against the law to discriminate or hurt people.

For some states the reasoning is that children 12 and under will not understand the wrongness of their actions.  It becomes borderline for 13-15 whereas the reasoning is by 16 and above children should have a good sense of right and wrong.  This goes back to the concept of doli incapax, or incapable of mischief.  I'll agree that children can understand that the crime they commit is wrong and that's why most states have procedures for trying children as adults even very young children if it can be proven that they knew what they did was wrong.

I feel all people are born good. They have to be taught to show prejudice.  No one hates just for the sake of hating.  I have a Utopian view of how good the world should be.  There is no reason that the world can't live in peace and Harmony.  Well maybe there is, perhaps: governments, greed, and fear of the unknown.\nWho ever you are, where ever you live, whatever color your skin, you are loved!

If your child is causing other children harm their is a proper way many teachers are thought to restarint a kid. Other wise I dont think you are suppposed to.

The policy of HATE that they were taught oh so well.\n\nAnd don't forget the policy of 'change' without knowing what that 'change' is.

I agree with sfbarbara49. One of the purposes of studying literature is to gain a greater understanding of those that are different from you whether it be race, religion, sexual orientation, age or culture. Ignorance of these subject matters breeds hatred and misunderstanding.\n\nSomeone mentioned teaching his/her children at home about homosexuality. Do you really? If so, how? Should we trust a racist to teach his children about African-Americans and Jews? \n\nThe prevention of academic freedom is a slippery slope that can only lead to further restrictions on civil rights and freedom.
