1-page reflection on the readings Reflection Readings *Koppelman (2017) Chapter 11 Heterosexism: Transforming Homosexuality from Deviant to Different *Always our children Always Our Children is a pastoral letter of the United States Catholic Conference of Bishops regarding homosexual children and parishioners. It reminds us that all are to be respected. Curriculum and instruction specialists have the challenge to see to it that students who have a homosexual orientation can identify with the content of curriculum and teachers in classrooms know how to include them in class discussions. The prejudice against homosexuality is relatively recent in European history. Boswell (1980), referenced in the syllabus, is a comprehensive, historial study of European society's understanding of homosexuality. The intersection of race, gender, class, and sexual orientation is a very complex one in the United States. Curriculum and instruction specialists have the opportunity to include all in their planning and execution of schooling. The most important thing to keep in mind is respect for the person is the a priori, first principle of morality and ethics. Therefore, respect for the person of each student, no esceptions, is fundamental to effective curriculum development and implementation.
