... if the education system would teach EVERY kid the science and history pertaining to lgbts.

There is science: It overwhelmingly favors homosexuality as a naturally occurring variant in mammals, including humans.

There is history: lgbt people have contributed mightily... out of proportion to their numbers... in all manner and in all eras.

There is art: forget about it.

To NOT teach these things is the equivalent of *lying*.

People who do not value or respect lgbt people are more likely to abuse them. If the school system does not teach WHY lgbts are worthy of value and respect..... how are the abusers going to LEARN this?

Obama and his corporate "partners" are changing the face of everything related to public education. *Supposedly* for the benefit of the young people who USE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

What specifically have they done in regard to the issues raised by OP?
