Education-Focused Political Ad for Rejecting Referenfum 74

There is a new political ad about rejecting Referendum 74, from a campaign opposed to same-sex marriage. This ad features a family from Massachusetts who claim that "same-sex marriage could be taught in schools", also assuming that it would be a negative thing to have happen. The ad tries to conjure up negative images of what could happen in our public schools if Referendum 74 is accepted.

I am a LGBTQ activist, a feminist, and a teacher intern- so this ad resonated with me for many reasons. I am constantly balancing my own beliefs with the responsibility of being trained to be a state employee. As soon as I walk into the classroom, I keep my beliefs of myself, which I truly think is crucial for teachers to do. Children really look up to their teachers and we have so much influence. I think it's paramount for them to figure out what they believe in and come to their own conclusions.

This ad references a school in Massachusetts, that was actually sued by multiple families for teaching that boys could marry boys. It was in contradiction to the families religious beliefs.

In reality, many schools are already teaching about all kinds of different families. Families that are headed by single parents, grandparents, and families that are of mixed race or religion are all talked about in schools. We hear many lessons about families in kindergarten, first grade, and higher classrooms. Occasionally, schools are talking about families headed by parents of the same sex.

Based on what I've seen, in my visits to different schools, it seems to me that teaching about families headed by parents of the same sex has become this grey area.

I would be curious to find out if anyone has seen any instances of families with parents of the same sex being brought up in classrooms. More and more children's books are being published that celebrate families who have two moms or two dads, but in my experience, I'm just not seeing them in classrooms.   

So what does this mean for us as we enter our careers as teachers? Is this okay to talk about in the classroom? Is it not? Will it depend on the outcome of Referendum 74?
