DENVER – During Tuesday’s Colorado Board of Education meeting, board members discussed recent feedback regarding a committee suggestion to revise social studies standards by excluding LGBTQ references in the curriculum before students reach the 4th grade.While some board members said the suggestion is a threat to equity, others supported the suggestion and said teachers should not have to teach gender identity.
“Even when we talk about mom and dad, we don't go into sexual education. We just say there's a mom and a dad. If you say this family has two dads, you're just saying there’s two dads. It's a gender identification, it is not sexual education,” Board member Karla Esser said. “I think it's very important for every kid to see themselves in curriculum. It has nothing to do with sexual education.
“I think that not only is the suggestion unnecessary, it's actually harmful. When kids are exposed to differences at a young age, it helps them understand and develop more empathy,” Ruscha said. “The queer community does more than just have sex. We’ve made history, we have accomplishments. You don't have to teach kids about sex to teach about queer people. It's not just a sexual orientation.
In a letter to the school board, a mother of three Douglas County School District students said, “I understand that students come from a diverse home life. But again, these topics belong between parents and their children at home.”
