Unpopular opinions

By *iss Penny Tration OP Woman over a year ago

A popular topic on BBC Radio one. My unpopular opinion would be that I hate dogs. They stink. Leave hairs everywhere. Are unpredictable. And completely unnecessary. What is your unpopular opinion?

I dont trust people that dont like dogs or most other animals for that matter.

And I prefer their company to a lot of humans.

It's the dogs domain - they are there 24/7

You're a guest

I tell people I have a dog - and that he isn't all that friendly with strangers

If they choose to still come round they can expect he'll be around too

He won't approach you, and will go to his bed when told to, but you'll deffo be getting the beedy eye

It’s an opinion. The whole point of the post. But I understand your view. When you play a sport or drive a car etc you are not purposely damaging your health unlike smoking and drinking. I don’t smoke but I enjoy a drink. Just my opinion

Yeah I agree then. I believe that the way of the world should be taught, regardless of religion. It won’t stop it from happening just because parents don’t want their kids to know about it. I wouldn’t keep my kids off school if they were being taught about Diwali etc. It’s part of learning about different cultures. And the way of the world.

With the whole teaching LGBT in schools there has been a backlash of outrage about this from all groups and cultures of people.

It comes into force in 2020 nationwide and is currently being trailed in a few schools.

Individuals from not only muslin but also Christian and secular communities have fought against this and have pulled their children out of schools to boycotted these lessons

The lesson is a combined lesson about health relationships, toxic relationships love and sex.

It has introduced the LGBT element to it due to the increase of mental health and suicide of young teens that are struggling with their sexuality.

It's there to try and break down the barriers that someone has about coming out.

It's not about the finer points of buggery.

So be it a unpopular or popular opinion to me is vitally important to teach these values to our children

Lots of stuff happens in the real world we wouldn't want to be taught in school. Age and individual dependant, I wouldn't object to people refusing a particular lesson. My kids had zoo days, where I would call in sick for both of them and have them to myself for the day. Would have paid fines if I got caught, it was worth it

No i agree but what about for example the young lad in a family that are anti LGBT who is gay and scared of what's happening.

They need to know how they are feeling is a normal part of life and it's something they can accept of themselves.

That's what the classes are set up to do and why they are going to be compulsory in schools.

It has been proven to work. The lessons are based around the relationship lessons in many areas of europe introduced many years ago in schools.

They start relationship lessons from a very early age and from 4/5 years old they are taught what makes a healthy friendship etc. And this then moves into other forms of relationships as they get older (age appropriate)

Wouldn’t stop them from being gay if they were gay. For example. Not being taught it alienates and confuses them. Makes them think it’s wrong because of their families beliefs. Which is what I disagree with

See I think we need to have some sort of belief lessons if you like not religious.

We're all aspects of beliefs and acceptance of people's beliefs. (And I know atheism is not a belief system) nor is it a state of mind that God does not exsist.

But lessons that look at the differences and the similarities to differneces beliefs would be better in my book

Yes I did see that but the thing is people are going to say you let ...... Not do that lesson because of what they believe in etc....

Then I don't want my child doing .....

I think it's a very difficult situation you either allow parents to boycott lessons for the right reasons or you don't Let them at all

You could not really pick and choice which ones can and can not be boycotted on personal grounds.

Indeed and the issue of parents teaching their kids is they are going g to pass down their own belief system.

"I personally don't think religious education should be taught in schools, it up to the individual what they choose to belive,

I agree but I do think it's important to teach belief systems to allow are you going to form their own opinions and also tackle so of the misdirected hate out there at the moment

Indeed and the issue of parents teaching their kids is they are going g to pass down their own belief system.

My spiritual journey was one I found from learning and listening to others. It is so far away from what my parents believe.

"The lesson is a combined lesson about health relationships, toxic relationships love and sex.

It has introduced the LGBT element to it due to the increase of mental health and suicide of young teens that are struggling with their sexuality.

It's there to try and break down the barriers that someone has about coming out.

It's not about the finer points of buggery.

So be it a unpopular or popular opinion to me is vitally important to teach these values to our children

True. These values can also be taught in the home.

Yes they COULD. The question is, WOULD they be?

In some obviously not, but then if that's the environment they are being raised in, it's unlikely a lesson in school would override the message from the parents.

I disagree with that too.

My posts are on the wider issue of parents being allowed to exclude their children from lessons they disagree with. Like the zoo and abbatoir examples above.

The issue is where does it stop when you pick what lessons their children are excluded from

We would end up with flat earthers not letting their children do geography

Evolutionists not letting their children take sciences

The list goes on and on.

I did exclude core subjects earlier.

Do you mean creationists?

Yes I did I'm tired and thinking I need sleep lol

Ha me too! I wasn't including subjects like maths, geography, science etc in my posts. I made that point earlier.

Yes I did see that but the thing is people are going to say you let ...... Not do that lesson because of what they believe in etc....

Then I don't want my child doing .....

I think it's a very difficult situation you either allow parents to boycott lessons for the right reasons or you don't Let them at all

You could not really pick and choice which ones can and can not be boycotted on personal grounds. "

We can agree to disagree then.

Yes me too. I think it should be compulsory in schools. It’s the age they do it i would be interested to know. "

It was in primary schools.

If people are unhappy with state schooling tben go private or home educate. (As we're talking unpopular opinions) isn't all education a form of indoctrination?

I think its a bad thing when a society wants its children to be steered towards opinions that the state wants them to hold for whatever reason.

"I think its a bad thing when a society wants its children to be steered towards opinions that the state wants them to hold for whatever reason. "

It’s a difficult one. I think because of the way society is it is important children learn about diversity and different beliefs/cultures etc as that is the real world they are going to be living in. I do think RE should be taught in schools but all religions equally. I find that my child knows more about every other religion and religious festivals but very little about Christianity. I think schools need to be very careful about how they put things across also and the age of the children needs to be thought about. My child has a friend who’s father wears women’s clothes at the weekends and likes to be referred to by a female name. She’s asked a few questions and I have explained it to her but to be honest she doesn’t mention it much. What I’ve said is enough for her and she’s not said much else. I don’t feel the need for her, at this age, to be taught in more detail. Children tend to just accept things I think. I object to trips to abattoirs and crematoriums etc. I went on a trip to a crematorium with school when I was young and it really affected me. It was absolutely awful. I don’t think there is a need for that.

"I think its a bad thing when a society wants its children to be steered towards opinions that the state wants them to hold for whatever reason.

I would argue that abattoirs and crematoriums are just as much a part of society as diversity issues. I don't think we can hand part of the responsibility for our kids opinions to the state without opening the door to handing more than any of us want to.

No I think it’s different. My child doesn’t need to know what happens to a dead body at their age. I’ve got through life fine without visiting an abattoir, nor would I want to. As a parent I’m happy to explain, when I think the time is right, about all sexualities but I understand not all parents will so I believe that should be part of the curriculum.

And there's always a scruffy little dog some couples just let roam around while on a meet?!

What's up with that?"

"Teaching, and providing information on sexual diversity is fine,

But my childrens school a few yrs back would let them Make a mothers day card but not a fathers day, as some children didn't have a dad around,

I was a child who didn't have a Dad...bloody highly embarassing and I felt ashamed when we were asked to do Fathers Day cards nearly 50yrs ago
