With the ink barely dry on New York’s same-sex-marriage law, city summer-school teachers are already discussing same-sex nuptials in their civics classes, The Post has learned.
And the head of the state Board of Regents said lessons on gay marriage will soon make their way into New York’s official curriculum.
“We have to do it. We have to think of where to do it,” said Chancellor Merryl Tisch.
“We have to think of, how we do discuss gay marriage thoughtfully, respectfully and sensitively. There has to be age-appropriateness.”
Social-studies teacher Rick Mangone said he has already incorporated the issue into a lesson for his summer-school class on US government.
“I told the students that gay marriage is a power that is reserved to the state under the US Constitution,” he said.
