This is just the start of the next four years eroding the long-fought rights of LGBT people. What’s next? We’re only allowed to talk about the achievements of straight white men? Oh, wait. |
Why do people post articles you can’t read? |

Allowing opt out seems like a no brainer. |
How is this impacting their long-fought rights? What about my rights? This would be a win-win for everyone. |
It quickly becomes chaos. Opt kids out of evolution in biology, books in English, topics in history. |
OP have you read this lawsuit in its entirety?
I have they will lose . It is the worst written lawsuit. The lawyers on the side of the religious zealots should lose their license because of how bad they wrote their side. It is religious garbage. Worse than that they want add religious indoctrination into public schools. |
Doesn't this court defend religious garbage, though? |
Opting out means a teacher will never use the material. They would need to have an alternate lesson for that student and also an alternate supervised spot for them to be. |
Do they just want to pretend an entire group of people don't exist? |
Some things shouldn’t be discussed that at that young age in a school setting without parental permission. |
Seriously? You can't figure that out? |
Put all the kids from the opt out or it’s ok but I’d rather they didn’t category in one class together and woke kids in the other class. |
Well of course it is! It's written by religious ignoramuses MAGA dorks. Not intellectuals. |
