I have the belief that exposure not breeds acceptance and tolerance but it also breeds influence.
true but i think you need to remove the "not" or add "not only"
Sorry bud, I was doing too many things at once. If you understood it to be "not only" then you are smarter than some other folks on this forum who haven't a clue (oh and nice that you argee with my point). However......(see below)
I say to any folk who wanna subject my child to shit like that to fuck off.
Your the dad you decide
There are many that will say that a person will be gay if they were born that way. Well I don't believe that shit.
I see a frigging epidemic of young gay girls now in fucking middle school.
Why? It's more accepted.
What does this have to do with the exhibition? Your going way off topic here. You expect kids to rip off their skin after seeing this show?
Kids will discover who they like on their own. Fuck off about it in school and don't try give them ideas.
So kids should decide what they learn? Yeah right... If i gave my kid what he wanted he would eat ice cream all day and crawl across the road. Although your last statement is incredibly liberal for your style. "Don't give them ideas" -
so schooling should emphasize on lethargy?
@PeatMoss
That show has been hotly debated since the begining. (90's?)
The only issue with it is that they where "real" people.
Since it is being shown, it means it has been "accepted" by the "authorities", ofcourse it has "sensationalism" written all over it (plus cash). Although the learning curve you can gain from it is much greater than lets say a plastic dummy in your biology class, or even some drawings. It is not for example an excusion to Auswitch, or WW1 trenches which has death written all over it and is a truelly depressing experience, or a visit to mutated bodies museum in

I just need to see pictures of that show to have it engrained in my brain...
The question is What will the child learn from seeing those figures?
a. They made real people into statues?
b. Weird how the muscle bends around the shoulder, and how it flexes in different positions.?
c. The Horror?
d. .... ?
Dissecting rats or frogs is nicer?
What effect did that plastic skeleton in biology class have on you?
It also depends how the teachers present the subject to the kids, it could be done in gothic splash movie style, or in an educative manner. The age of the kid should be of one able to use rational thought.
Although just one of the sculptures would suffice to give information.
You decide, your the pappa, i would allow them to go, the more they understand the better.
