Your response to those who believe that early
childhood centers should avoid the inclusion of books depicting gay or lesbian
individuals such as same-sex partnered families.
My response to this would be, we can’t discriminate
against anyone. We have children who come from several backgrounds. All of our
children are treated with the same level of respect and one type of family does
not hold more value than another.
•How you would respond to a parent/family member who
informed you they did not want anyone who is perceived (or self-reported)
homosexual or transgender to be caring for, educating, and/or interacting with
their child.
My response once again would be we don’t discriminate against
anyone. A person sexual preference has no bearing on our decision to allow them
to work in our facility. If they are qualified based on standard procedures
their personal life is not an issue. I would give them the option to find a
facility that can provide them with what they need.
