School courses

Most people know about Rosa Parks, the Black lady that sat in the front of the bus and was arrested. Rosa was a civil rights activist who had sat in the front of the bus on several occasions before she was arrested. She was a member of the American Civil rights group and chosen for this test case. Something similar happened this past week to a Florida teacher. A first year teacher in fifth grade is being investigated for showing a animated Disney movie featuring a gay boy. She was challenged by a school board member who is a christian and felt the movie was not appropriate. If the movie did not show explicit sexual behavior but centered on the love between two boys it should not be controversial but why out of all the Disney movies did this teacher choose this one. She said the Hernando County School District sent a note to the parents of children in the class informing them that their children had been shown the film. Was this done on purpose to become a test case. Now instead of finding ways to improve students academic abilities the emphasis will be on other matters. This is just one more distraction that schools can do without but some people feel the schools must teach sexual preference. What other non academic interest should schools be exploring.
