Yes. The standards require that by the end of grade eight, students discuss topics about sexual orientation. Issues might include tolerance and sensitivity, harassment and name-calling, stereotyping, and the development of gender identity and its relationship to puberty and adolescence. Similar topics might be addressed in more depth at the secondary level.
