I have a boy in grade two. He's at the stage where he doesn't like girls his age but is always commenting on how "hot" some older girl or women is. If one of his classmates came dressed as a girl he would find them weird and no doubt express that inclination. This would in turn cause the "socially progressive" faculty at his school to attempt to teach him that his feelings are misguided and that what he finds as abnormal is good and should be praised. At this point I would be stepping in. I send my children to school to learn reading and arithmetic. I don't send them to school to be programed into finding the unnatural as a positive alternative.
A seven year old boy is just beginning to determine who he is and who he wants to be. All kinds of ideas pop into their heads. It is a parental responsibility to direct these ideas, encouraging the positive and discouraging the negative. This responsibility does not belong to the state.
