I said you said you're ok with it, and you did, im just wondering how you could be ok with your children in the presence of somthing you think is weird especially if its in the form of an influential figure.
Because I've already given them sufficient guidance, and I've fostered an open and honest relationship between them and myself. I don't feel threatened by weirdos or their potential influence on my kids because I've given them the tools they need to deal with the weirdos. Kids look for answers and guidance, if the parents don't offer it, they get it from somewhere else.
True most kids will eventually run into weirdo sht, but shouldnt your job as a parent be to reduce the chance of that happening? Thats like a teacher wanting to take your boys class to a transgender pride parade for a scool trip and you saying "well hes gonna eventually see weird sht anyway, so he may as well go", see what im saying?
No my job as a parent is to teach them how to navigate the world around them. Parents fall victim of tying to protect their kids too much. That's why preachers daughters are freaks, because their dad keeps them away from any type of sexual images or conversations, so they don't know how to deal with their own sexuality and sexual urges. The parents didn't guide her on how to deal with sex so she lets some little knucklhead nikka guide her.
@ the bolded

no it's not like that at all. Saying a teacher will be transgendered is not the same as saying a teacher will push the lifestyle on my kids. I wouldn't let a teacher take my kid to a hetero pride parade either, both are equally inappropriate, and not good subject mater for teachers to discuss with kids.
That's what I mean by giving them guidance. My kids would make their own decision that it would be a bad idea to accompany the teacher to the parade, or at least they would be confortable enough to talk to me about it. On the other hand if we just ran away from transgendered people every time we saw them my kid might be inclined to go check it out without talking to me about it
I don't shelter my kids one bit. I let them see the world for what it is. It's a fukked up place and the sooner they realize that the better.
