I agree with this as well. I'm just saying that that is what the problem is and getting people to change their mind is not an easy thing. I believe that over time this can be corrected but it wont happen overnight.

The next generation should be a bit more accepting which means they'll teach in a more balanced (correct) way so that the generation that they are teaching will be even more accepting, and so on. It will take time but it will happen - I hope. We just need to overcome the close mindedness of some people who either don't see the value in it (parents and others), or are too stubborn to change the way they have been doing things (educators).
