This week’s debate is being run in association with Kent Union’s LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) campaign which coincides with LGBT History Month. Regulars please take not of the change of venue this week.
Research has recently called for aspects of homosexuality to be including in the primary school curriculum which explains the topic we eventually settled on. The first speaker will have to be very clear about how this will be carried out in practice to undermine some of the more predictable arguments the opposition will want to rely on.
Is part of the problem with homophobia caused by it not being introduced to children at an impressionable age, leaving their views on the issue to be tainted by the taunts of the playground and the influence of intolerant family and friends?
Or is it an issue that is best kept well away from the classroom at such an early age? Is it an easy excuse to absolve responsibility for the issue by burdening an already overwhelmed teaching profession?
I look forward to finding out on Wednesday!
