I believe I would respond to a person who stated that they felt that gay or lesbians should not teach or children, that a person sexuality has nothing to do with the persons ability to teach. According to one of the classes I have taken at Walden , there are people within communities who are gay , however, their sexuality is not broadcasted to the community.
I al believe that an issue we need to discuss with students is the fact that boys and girls can be whatever they want to be. Last year when I thought pre-k a little girl wanted to be a firefighter. The boys said thst she could not because she was a girl. I found books which had girl fighters and luckily our fire department had a woman firefighter who came during fire prevention week. I think as a society especially in the South, we send the message that girls have to be teachers or nurses or stay at home. This issue needs great attention to ensure that the women of the future can be anything and can support themself.
