(879 posts)There ARE people who don't let children play with children due to skin color here. As I am bi-racial, guess who wasn't invited to either black or whites homes for slumber parties (I was either too black or too white).
I talked to the school counselor, who verified she is the one who suggested the g-word instead of gay, following the suicide of a student who hanged himself this school year. He came out to his parents and they were less than understanding. She chose to use the terminology as high school, middle school and elementary children all ride the same bus and she was afraid she would get angry calls from parents wanting to know why their young children were being taught about sexuality (her defense, not mine). I asked her to rethink her position as school counselor and realizing the damage she is doing to kids like Alice.
