Answer preview
negative attitude toward the LGBT is linked to poor educational achievements and limited development. Inclusive sexuality education reduces abuse, including sexual, physical, and verbal (Flores, 2012). The primary reasons educators have been uncomfortable with implementing LGBT texts and themes are personal discomfort, retaliation, and fear. The Don’t Say Gay Bill is an outcome of the increased commitment to teaching LGBT-themed literature. Second, the role of parents in the development of children is significant.
Teachers face criticism from parents and administrators for implementing the Gay themes (Flores, 2014). Parent’s objection is the most significant concern for teachers exploring inclusive multicultural education. Indeed the success of inclusive sexuality education depends on teachers’ positive cooperation with parents and caregivers. The Don’t Say Gay confirms the dedication to addressing parents’ concerns in objection to inclusive sexuality education. Third, enhancing child wellbeing in school is critical. Educators have a responsibility to address the needs of children at risk of behavioral, social, and cognitive impairments. Hence, it includes social and health services provisions by school social workers and others.
