Please Let us Learn

Recently a good friend of mine was telling me that Georgia State University was considering cutting classes about sexuality. These classes include subjects on queer theory, intersex etc. Georgia State University is a state school and is funded through tax payer money. Many tax payers are complaining and asking the school why their money is going towards classes of these subjects. Isn’t Georgia State a school and at a school don’t you learn about various subjects varying from chemistry to math to sex? What is the big deal here? How are people supposed to be educated about controversial subjects? People shouldn’t be taught that these subjects are wrong and you should not learn about it because it is controversial. We should all have the opportunity to learn about these subjects if we want and then make up our mind on what we want to believe. These courses should not be stopped being taught because they are controversial or many people don’t believe that they should be talked about in school. We are not forced to take these courses so the school is not violating any of our rights. I’m pretty sure that these people don’t even know what exactly is being taught in these courses. They just know that it is about a subject that they don’t agree with and they believe it should be banned from school. Not everyone has the same beliefs and morals and we should not withhold others from learning something because we do not believe that it should be taught. It is ridiculous how far people go to try and keep certain controversial beliefs from being taught. The bottom line is, no one is forced and if it is something you would like to learn, then you should have the opportunity to learn it.
