How is same sex marriage ';taught'; in schools?

As Maine has now become the fifth state to legalize same sex marriage (go Maine!), the religious and right wing zealots are complaining they object (for one reason) because they do not want same sex marriage ';taught'; in schools. Can someone explain what it means to ';teach'; marriage in school? I have attended school from kindergarten through college and was never ';taught'; heterosexual marriage. Just looking for clarification - thanks.How is same sex marriage ';taught'; in schools?
This is a ';scare'; tactic that has been used to frighten people into voting against same sex marriage. It was used to great effect in California's Prop H8 campaign. It's a favorite tactic of the christian right.





It's nothing more that a ';straw man'; tactic like the fascist totalitarian governments used in 1900's to set up false threats. It helps fascists gain or retain control and facilitates oppression of minorities.How is same sex marriage ';taught'; in schools?
Well, even if they were to teach gay marriage in schools it wouldn't be such a problem. Scientifically, kids are being raced in a same sex couple environment have no influence on what life partner they child will grow up to chose. It could be quite interesting to see that being taught in schools.
i am still in school and they have never taught us marriage either. i agree with people stating that the reason they complain is that they don't want their kids growing up thinking its ok to be gay. people who complain about same-sex marriage will use any excuse to try and block it.
Well for example the children could be read a book about two males in love at reading time. I know the fundies got in a real huff about that. Really though, I think what they're saying is they don't want their children attending a school that tells them it's okay to be gay.
I think it's their ';nice'; way of saying that they don't want their children growing up thinking that it's okay to be gay.
marriage straight or gay should not be taught in schools
The only way it was taught was bringing up court cases in justice systems that's about it. for me where I live
I don't think it is. Maybe the subject is touched on in Health class.
well, seeing as how you can't really have ';sex'; with two same-gender people without them getting an STD, i'm not sure how same-sex sex ed would work.
