Im sure theyll be shocked to learn that gay people exist 😆
They will see it in the world in their families, and in those of their classmates. It’s not wild hard to explain. 11-13yos are well able to comprehend same sex orientations. This is a good thing.
Id say some of their questions and reactions will be gas though
Good stuff to see for kids and sexual education!
I’m sure the usual lot will have an absolute normal one about this.
Better that they learn this in the classroom rather than the usual method of sex education for kids nowadays, which is pornography.
This is a good thing and I’m sure everyone will be completely normal about it 🙂
The gobshites on Facebook will somehow have a field day with this.
If children have to learn this in school and not from their parents it’s a bad sign but hopefully this will mean that every child understands it even if their parents don’t.
Good, can’t have kids too old to believe in Santa not knowing that gay people exist. School is about equipping kids with the knowledge to move through the world with confidence, whether that’s the world of work, study or otherwise. Can’t do that if you’re so sheltered that you don’t know what a gay person is
Smarter kids! Yay!
Oh the flag shaggers will flip
For anyone who has an issue with this, which is something that is a completely normal part of life and will absolutely impact kids this age, you are the reason we need this education.
Any simple minded gimps who are legitimately bothered by the presence of people who are not straight and don’t fit into their small bubble of ignorance could probably do with joining in on some of those classes tbh.
Glad to see schools finally doing this the right way.
As I said to a family member worried about how coming out could be explained to my pre-teens kids – “They watch women’s football and women’s wrestling, they know what lesbians are”
The same ones giving out about it probably let their kids have phones with unlimited online access. I know a woman like this, she’ll be the 1st one giving out about this, ‘protecting our kids’ while the same kids are constantly online watching all sorts
The American side of my family would have a massive coronary reading that headline 🙄🤣 imagine the concept of kids learning that gay people exist!
It’s good news and I doubt it will shock kids.
I remember I said a dumb comment in front of my 5 year old niece, something along the lines that only men and women can get married.
She corrected me and reminded me gay people exist and can get married.
To her it was normal.
Undoubtedly a good thing. Think of all the gay/queer people who grew up going to school thinking there was something wrong with them.
Kids don’t think anything is ‘not normal’ until people start telling them.
God I can’t read. I just saw fifth and sixth and assumed it was for fifth and sixth years and thought “that’s way too feckin late”
They should learn the way I did on the farm. When you want a baby, you call the man at Dairygold. A day or two later a man in a van traps the woman’s head in a vice, pulls on a comically oversized glove and injects the semen directly into her insides.
Hopefully it will help cut down on bullying the gay kids in school. I know as a teen I was horrible to the gay kids and it’s something I’m ashamed of to this day.
Meanwhile in the UK, the new RSE curriculum guidance is for teachers to effectively not talk about the existence of trans people or gender identity in general. It’s no better than section 28. I wish it was different, but here we are I guess.
I’m glad at least some places are making positive progress instead of following America.
Good, same sex relationship needs to be normalised.
Just today, I overheard a group of Americans being a bit too okay with homophobia.
Well done to the educators for not caving to the hate mongers. There’s stuff I’m not too keen on on the new curriculum but consent and respect are things kids can’t learn too soon.
This is great news. I wish I had this sort of thing when I was younger for my little gay self.
Just to say, I came out as Bi at 8yo twenty years ago, it’s a perfectly acceptable age to learn about those things and can make any pupils who feel “different” a little less embarrassed/alone
