Schools (teachers) spend more time out of the home with children in social environments than parents could ever dream of. Both schools and parents should have the responsibility of teaching ethics/morality. I'd say schools have a bigger responsibility because of the time and impact they have.
This includes teaching about homosexuality in sex education.
