Gender theory

I think it should be included as a part of psychology classes but I don't see where it would fit in with the curriculum of a young child. It shouldn't be taught in biology since biology primarily deals with physical sex, not with mental gender.
I don't think gender theory should be hidden from young children, but frankly I doubt it would have enough significance in the life of a child before puberty.

No, and if it were, more general post-structuralist theories should be taught first. Also, deconstruction should be followed by reconstruction.

Well, there's a big problem with the initial question, since there's no "gender theory", but "gender studies"... And that's quite different.
I don't know for America, but, in France, people talking about "gender theory" and fearing that the "innocent ones" could be contaminated with this speech are religious freaks obsessed with feminism, homosexuality, abortion/contraception and the rest.

So, I can't and won't vote in this poll, since it deals with the existence of the Loch Ness monster, Bigfoot and the Chupacabra.

Gender theory is the idea, currently pushed with the blessing of the governments of numerous countries, that regardless of ones biological sex, the individual can choose to identify as either male, female or neither.

I'm sure most would agree that an adult can choose whatever they want in this regared, but should this idea be taught to impressionable young children in schools who have yet to fully understand their own biology?

The pope, perhaps inevitably, said recently that he believes there to be global war on the family and marriage and that the teaching of gender theory in schools is part of that attack calling it 'ideological colonization'

Thoughts? Liberals please try not to get too upset by this question..
