Sex Education in the Schools

Tasha Nathanson (Letters, Oct. 1), who called state Board of Education member Angie Papadakis “ignorant,” is the one who needs an education. If Papadakis is ignorant, then Barbra Streisand is tone deaf.

Thank goodness that there is someone on the Board of Education who has the intelligence to know and the courage to say what should and should not be “discussed” in the schools.

I do not want strangers--even though they are teachers--talking to my kids about homosexuality. I want teachers to talk about reading, writing, adding, subtracting, thinking and studying.

What qualifications do teachers have to be discussing homosexuality?
