This is a bullshit argument. History, by definition, is always expanding as time passes. As we go from decade to decade, should we ignore the most recent events in history, because if we taught them, we would have to throw out something more important?
You sound like that racist dad from American History X. I'm pretty sure anything they decide to teach will be of historical significance.

they aren't proposing teaching the legalization of gay marriage, or anything recent. they are proposing that they pick and choose specific events from the past that have a special little flag in the bio that it involves a gay person. so, if we assume that a history curriculum is at 100% efficiency, it teaches the most important parts of history in the time allotted. By forcing in, by our definition, less important parts of history, you must force out more important parts.
Learn to read the issue before arguing on it, and respect your fellow arguer from the get-go. Insulting me just makes you look even more ridiculous when you argue the wrong point.
