Just go the emails for ES but the link for the refrigerator preview doesn't work. What is this for? Is this some kind of anti-DEI stuff?

Parents still have to come in person to view curriculum materials. Which is very inconvenient for working parents.

MCPS has all the books listed. Parents interested in opting out aren’t going to actual read the books. They are just going to follow which zealot is the flavor of the day and opt out what they say is problematic for whatever reason.

Its inconvenient for all parents, not just working. If its important to you you will make the time. Its interesting Taylor talked about transparency and yet have transparency a year later.

Parents should have access to the curriculum so they can be involved and provide support. AND your toliet should be fixed.

None of our syllabus's have textbook or english book information. Its frusterating. I want to be able to buy them so my kids have copies vs. pdf or classroom copies.

The topic of this thread is opting out of parts of the curriculum. The books being referenced that are all listed are the things parents want to be able to opt out of, which are not going to be textbooks because they are none being used except AP/IB courses.

Just ask the teacher. Why are you making this complicated. No one is expecting you to buy the curriculum book. This is about opting out. The books you could opt out of are listed. You can look them up and read them all yourself if you desire.

Yup, they will just go see what moms for liberty has to say on X and blindly and sheepily follow along as their kids languish.

Sounds like you’re doing the same thing just with a different opinion.
