Excuse me, but if you want to send a child to a school that teaches
that homosexual activities are a legitimate option, you should send
him to a private school.  If you are a member of a minority group
with respect to beliefs, morals, and the like, you cannot expect the
majority to pay to teach the options you prefer.  The best you can
ask is that the public schools remain neutral.

I intend to send my children to private schools because I want them
to be taught traditional Christian (traditional, not fundamentalist)
values.  Because these are minority views, I do not expect the public
schools to teach them.  However, if I cannot afford to send my child
to a private school, I will insist that the public school be neutral.
I do not want the school to teach my child that homosexuality, 
premarital sex, and the like are acceptable alternatives.  You probably
don't want the school to teach your child some things that I believe in.
So let's just have the public schools teach grammar, biology, chemistry,
and the like.  (They're having enough problems doing that well!)
