NO reason to force students to learn this crap. But we can't even teach black history.

Illinois Senate votes to teach LGBT history in school

The Illinois Senate has approved requiring public schools to teach LGBT history.

The Senate voted 34-18 Wednesday on the plan by Chicago Democratic Sen. Heather Steans.

It would require schools to teach a history unit on the role in society and contributions of gays, lesbians and other LGBT individuals.

Steans says it is consistent with state law that already requires students learn the history of races or ethnicities like blacks, Asians, Hungarians, and French people.

California is the only state with an LGBT education law. It was enacted in 2017.

Republican Sen. Chuck Weaver of Peoria says the initiative could infringe on religious freedom. Other Republicans say schools would maintain control over how the topic is taught.

They mentioned it in our college/HS courses, but it's not a big section of history(it's mentioned in 1 paragraph in a book) for time and effort it took to vote on it. It literally goes Great Depression, Civil Rights/Women suffrage, then to Vietnam.:ehh:

I see no problem with this.

:stopitslime:

Yet Republicans are either trying to whitewash or completely remove slavery and segregation from their schools in places like Texas, but I'm sure he doesn't see it as infringing on the rights of anyone.

One history unit could be one day, its not that bad. Honestly while I dont believe in overglorifying folks because of one social identity or the other, their contributions to society should not ignored because of sexuality. They already learn about cross-dressing in theater every time they read Shakespeare and realize that Juliet was played by a boy on stage. English lit is very queer in itself.

Will John Legend, snoop, any hiphop station, Ebro, Daz, Levar Burton, Sinbad, and others talk openly against this for being unnecessary and more politicizing of the public schools at the expense of the students? of course not because there are consequences when it comes criticizing LGBT community...fawking cowards...bubu Kanye/Trump
