Re: when does the education start ?

Okay, I would have few questions for the parents.

Firstly, at which age do they feel it appropriate for their daughter to learn that there exists such a thing as homosexuality? and at which age do they feel it appropriate for her to learn about heterosexuality?

Secondly, would they be happy to let their daughter read a book with a prince and princess kissing? From the information in the article, I'm guessing that this book was taken from the library by the choice of the daughter, if that is the case, have they sat with her and asked her why she chose that book and what she thinks of the content?

Thirdly, why do they deem it acceptable for them to hold on to the book and keep it from circulation? It may be against their beliefs, and if they want the right to chose what they think is best for their daughter, are they right to deny other parents/children at that school the right to read that book according to those peoples beliefs?

Finally, if in ten years time, their daughter tells them that she is gay, do they think that they will still believe that they were right to deny access to this book and similar material to their daughter?
