I agree. We need to ban every single book that mentions mommy and daddy being married. Or even just having a mommy and daddy at home what could the kids learn? That mommie and daddies might share a bedroom? How awful!

When has it ever been okay for an adult (other then the parents/ guardian) to talk about gender/sex with a child?

It's always been ok. How old were you when you were taught about gender? I remember teachers sorting us by gender. I remember "Sugar and spice and everything nice, that's what little girls are made of. Snips and snails and puppy dog tails, that's what little boys are made of." How old were you when you were first introduced to the idea that Mommy and Daddy were married? Attended a wedding? Should we ban children from being ringbearers and flower girls because they is participating in socially sanctioned sexual expression? It makes as much sense as banning a book where Timmy has two dads or firing a teacher for mentioning their same sex spouse.

I'm not talking about gender, i'm talking about lesson plans on sexual orientation to children

How is this question not about gender?

Ah I see the confusion. My first comment was about sexual orientation/sex. Accidentally wrote gender on that comment. Obviously gender is talked about as you stated in your comment before.
