Ok then no acknowledgement of religion in schools. My kids deserve better than being polluted with the delusions of Christians. |
No one said you were gay? It’s impossible to discuss this issue with you because you keep pretending it’s about teaching the “existence” of gay people. Again. Read the Maryland instructions for teacher lessons about the books in question. It goes well beyond that. Parents want an opt out. Why are you so insistent that parents not have that option for their children? The children do not belong to the Maryland government and it’s a parent’s decision when to introduce this material to their five year olds. |
Prayer in school was banned decades ago. You aren’t allowed to teach about the virtues of one religion over another. This is the exact argument the plaintiffs in this case have, so you sound like you support the opt out after all. |
Yeah lady, there's a big difference between teaching the history of the gay community and their fight for equal rights in this country as a history lesson later on in high school and...introducing the most cutting edge sex identities generated by the internet to elementary schoolers. You're hopeless. |
Is there a link? |
You are comparing something that happened 22 years ago versus the vitriol that is happening right now to parents, normal people who just want to raise their children. |
Link?? |
You obviously know how to use the internet, start there. |
Read this thread! The links were provided. It’s not our job to keep you updated on what we are posting about here. |
I agree, but I think schools need to stick to the basic subjects of math, science, etc. Stop teaching sexuality or promoting other doctrines many do not agree with. Our public schools are failing in the basics. The parents can teach their kids about sexuality IMO. |
Students graduating from these woke schools can’t read, write, or do basic math at the appropriate grade level. But they sure can recite the LGBTQ and DEI propaganda that is fed to them by liberal educators. These schools have the wrong priorities, and they are not properly preparing students for college or a job. |
Many of the parents opposed to this curriculum are Muslim and/or African. Yet you single out only white Christians and MAGA supporters when a whole host of parents from different backgrounds don’t want your liberal propaganda taught to their children in school. |
I also wish school would focus more on core academics and less on social issues. Nationally, only 26% of 8th graders are proficient in grade-level math, and only 31% are proficient in grade level reading. That is sad |
Very sad. It’s the dumbing down of standards by liberal educators. Our education system is woefully failing. |
All of you arguing that this is about religious freedom and not homophobia are strange. If a school taught a book where the main character eats pork, it would not be offensive to muslim or kosher students because they themselves aren't eating pork. Religious freedom is about what you do, not what the people around you do. |
