Woods writes that House education subcommittee chair Joey Hensley had earlier admonished all Tennessee parents not to let their children watch “Modern Family†on television because they might discover there are homosexuals in the world, even if teachers can't say the word gay in schools.

It's a stupid thing to legislate, but technically they're saying not to teach the kids about gays until 9th grade. In and of itself this doesn't really bother me, but what happens if you have an openly gay teacher? Are they now forbidden from talking about themselves unless their students are in high school?

No teacher should be going around talking about their own sexuality in classes. Straight or Gay

Forget the teachers, I don't really care if they can talk about their sexuality with their classes or not, because it's not pertinent imo. It's the few young gay students that will be in that atmosphere that I worry about.
It's confusing and rough enough for most without being completely stifled.

Yes, if a teacher has flowers on their desk on Valentine's Day, they shouldn't be allowed to answer if a student asks them who sent it to them.
And a teacher's SO should never be allowed to pick up or drop off the teacher on school property.
Or any other such situation where a student could possibly pick up on the teacher's sexuality.

Yeah, I'm sure you register the same level of alarm when your students learn which of their teachers are married and which ones aren't.
I'm not saying gay teachers should be telling their students about which of the gym teachers have the nicest balls, but an openly gay person isn't exactly hard to pick out, either.
Azure brings up a good point, too. You don't exactly make kids stop being gay by not talking to them about it until they're 13.
