If students are not taught that there are other sexualities besides heterosexual, or that they do not have to identify with the gender they were born with, they will grow up thinking that something is inherently wrong with them. Is that really what you want? To teach kids how to hate themselves? (rhetorical…

everyone from that race acts that way; White people are proper and stuck up, black people are cheap and ghetto and Mexicans work hard for little pay. This is how we have been programmed to think through the years; this is why we as people definitely stereotype based on race and that’s probably never going to change.
