How Should We Teach in Schools about Sexual Orientation? A Rejoiner to Petrovic.
Reiss, Michael J.
Journal of Moral Education, v28 n2 p211-214 Jun 1999
Responds to John E. Petrovic's article entitled "Moral Democratic Education and Homosexuality: Censoring Morality." Argues against Petrovic's notion that teachers must portray homosexuality positively and ignore their beliefs against homosexuality. Believes instead that when teachers educate their students about sexual orientations they must promote a balance between heterosexuality and homosexuality. (CMK)
