Glad MCPS is getting sued

Parents should always have a say in what their kids are learning. Ideally, their day can be to leave this crazy system but not vv everyone can afford that. Parents should be able to opt out of having their two and three year olds use a word search to find words like drag in story books being read to them.

+1. It may sound good but I don't want some yahoo deciding what their kids can and can't read. That affects my kids too. If they don't like these books, they can always opt out.

Of course parents should. Specifically: if you don't want your children to be exposed to people or ideas you disapprove of, then you should send your children to a private school that reflects your personal approval/disapproval beliefs, or home school them. If you can't or don't want to do that, then you need to remember that it's public school, not you-personally school.

The full search for the letter D in the picture book "Pride Puppy!" is: doll, desk, dresser, drawer, (diplodocus) dinosaur, door, dump truck, drum and drum sticks, dandelions.

You have a say. It's called electing a school board. There's a state-approved curriculum. There's also a PTA as a mechanism for feedback and input.

What you don't get to do is dictate what a teacher does in their individual classroom. And you most definitely do not get to police what books are in the library.

And I've never heard of a two-year-old using a word search for anything, much less the word "drag" in the context of a drag queen. Two- and three-year-olds can't read.

Troll harder, next time.

You should definitely be able to opt your child out of base 10 math! Also, the Gregorian calendar. Julian only.

No. You can apply to private or parochial schools that have need-based scholarships or tuition-relief.

But public school is not a cafeteria plan. You don't pick and choose what you get. They provide a service that you can use, as is, or you can look elsewhere. But the public option is not a custom-built option.
