Stupid America

So in Massachusetts, one of our only places of sanity in the world of treatment towards homosexuals, seems to not exactly have a total consensus on the idea. 2 parents are sewing a school in Mass for having a story read to their children depicting two princes falling in love.
The state has a law/statute/something or other that says if a school is to teach about homosexuality and same sex marriage in a sex education/sex health class, the school must inform the parents so that the parent has the option of removing the student/child from the class. The school is claiming that this would not fall in that type of class and feels they did nothing wrong. I tend to agree, but again, the problem is not the correctness of under what setting the information is provided, it's the fact that parents are so frightened by homosexuality and that little monster 'Different," that they have the option to take kids out of class. What if i didn't believe that physics existed. If I didn't believe that gravity was a real thing. What if I believed that there were little invisible midgets that sat on people's shoulders all the time and that's how people stayed connect to the ground. So, do I then get to take my kids out of science classes anytime the concept of gravity comes up(teeheehee). I should think not. what if I'm a communist. Do i take my kids out of class when democracy is discussed. or so that we go with the majority view point since that seems to be more accurately the case with the sexuality issue. As someone who likes to think that democracy can work (when it's not run by a bunch of businesses who change the shape of our society through lobbying), do i then take the student out of class when communism is taught. I don't understand what is wrong with us. If a parent doesn't like something, then why is it not then their responsibility to educate the child. Why are we so afraid of allowing people to hear concepts that exist outside our view system. We have a government acting like big brother over parents acting like big brother over children who are our future. This Big Brother cycle will continue and worsen if it is allowed to continue. The concepts and structure of our society should be focused and centered around the fact that we are all different. Acceptance of other view points is not only something that should happen, it NEEDS to happen. For the survival of our country and the world, it is necessary for people to be able to relate to and understand other people. Otherwise our differences will grow and swell. People will begin to break down all concepts as being 'Not their own' and everything will be censored. All things will be closed off from discussion. And then what do we have. A Big fucking world of Ignorant Nothingness.
