The British educational authorities have launched a pilot project that is already being criticized by various religious groups, this consists of the distribution of books for children ages 4 to 11 that address the issue of homosexuality.
Among the books that have approached the schools of England in principle, there are three stories, "The King and the King," which tells the story of a prince who falls in love with a brother of the princess and marries him, " The astronaut ”, in which a girl who goes to space becomes ill and is attended by her two moms and“ And with Tango are three ”, a story in which two male penguins fall in love and receive an egg as a gift, which He will become the first penguin with two parents.
The initiative has been supported by 14 schools and a local authority, once the results of the project are known, the dissemination of these and other books can be extended throughout the country. According to the project director, Elizabeth Atkinson, this will allow children to know social reality. It truly is a presentation of the new family concepts that exist around the world explained from a children's perspective. It seems good to us because one of the main interests can be to avoid childhood trauma and depression, since if all children know and contemplate homosexuality as normal, in many cases it would be avoided that children who are part of a family with two moms or two parents are tried, insulted or mistreated by the other children who consider it to be abnormal, also in the case that other children are perceived as homosexual. It is also a way for them to learn to respect all people, respect is one of the bases of education, ethics and morals.
It is clear that there will be parents of all kinds, some will consider the inclusion of these stories in school unnecessary because they themselves show the reality of life to their children, other parents will help them not to have to give explanations and that their children see the Homosexuality as something normal in the lives of some people, but there are also many families of diverse religions who veto this initiative, others require that the parents of the students first review the texts, and you, how do you see it?
