I understood your point without you having to restate it. I was simply having a bit of fun (while noting Catholic doctrine on the issue).

It depends how long you stay in Education I guess and what type of courses you study...

I am pretty sure homosexuality was barely mentioned to us in school, negative opinions, positive opinions or just general facts I can't really remember anything.

When we got the school rules (which I doubt many if any children actually read them all) there was probably a mention of bullying on sexuality not being allowed but outside of that I think it was just basically never mentioned (by the teachers in the classroom)

I chose R.E. as an option and I don't think it was really discussed there either. I do think we didn't delve too much into anything that could be controversial though in R.E. though...

Outside of that I am not really sure what subject a discussion of homosexuality would arise in, I did leave school a good 11 years ago now so things might have changed a bit.

It seemed like the right way to do it to me, schools should discourage discrimination and bullying of people because of their sexuality but I don't think teachers should be talking about it in a positive light or a negative one, at least not to children in comprehensive school (16 and under)

I think such a conversation would be mostly pointless anyway, teenage boys are particularly immature when it comes to homosexuality so any attempt to approach it as a positive would likely backfire and any negative approach could just fuel the flames of their homophobia.

Once they move onto college/sixth form (16-18) or University (18+) then it would probably work a bit better.

Though I do wonder if I can ever justify somebody pronouncing a negative view of homosexuality as a teacher in an educational establishment...

I mean they are not exactly the same but I cannot justify a teacher in an educational establishment casting Black people in a negative light...

You know what guys, as an atheist my view is this. This is your life. No rehearsals, no second chances. This is it. After this, it will be like before you were born. Nothing. Just enjoy it. It don't last long.
