Are there other Republican parents at your charter?

[Anonymous]

Our DC charter definitely has both conservatives and liberals.

What schools are we talking about?

I'm sure there are conservatives everywhere apart from ones like Mundo Verde. My friend claims Yu Ying is very republican, which I find hard to believe considering the city is 10 to 1 liberal.

I am independent but probably one of those Christian hipsters referenced. I don't support gay marriage but I also rarely discuss it outside of the walls of my home. We go to a charter and I'd love to know where other people who don't really want LGBT issues to play a prominent role in education (especially Elementary) are. I am good with my kids going to school with kids who come from LGBT families, but I'd rather the school stay away from teaching him anything one way or the other (even if we went to a fundamentalist Christian school, I'd feel this way because our values are also not "Hell and damnation for the sinners" as many of those schools probably are). OP, I'd like to know why being the only Republican matters to you, specifically. What will the political affiliations of fellow parents have to do with your child's education?

More than half of the Rs and an increasingly important part of Democrats make annual charter funding and new buildings happen.

If you ever want to be a leader among fellow Democrats, you'd be making a good move by supporting charters too.

Wonder what the Trump position is on public education ( including charters)?

It's simple! In the Trump era we'll have better schools once Mexican rapists self-deport.

We'll jolt the economy with my business sorcery (pay no attention to the bankruptcies), enabling us to lower taxes while investing billions of dollars on a state-of-the-art 1,000 mile long school building that doubles as a border fence. Lucky real American kids at the Trump Border Security Academy will get breathtaking views of their less fortunate friends to the south, who, if real Americans study hard, they can later hire on temporary work visas at lower rates than white people would command.

So you are against one group of people having less rights than you even though they can't control their sexual orientation any more than you can control your stupidity.

You give Christians a bad name.

Cool down PP. That's not what she (he?) said. I could not care less about same-sex couples (that's their choice, not sure why anyone would/should have anything to say about that) but would fight against classes on sex education at the elementary school level (a big thing on LGBT's agenda) -- Honestly what would you want your 10 y.o learn in priority? Another language, world history, science or about oral sex and abortion?

Oh my God stop framing this argument with LIES.

The LGBT crowd just wants to teach tolerance, so they don't end up as bigots like you and PP.

That's good logic because there's pretty much only time to learn one of those in elementary school.

Equal respect for LGBT people is no more about sex than respecting your marriage is about sex. If your kid doesn't learn about sex reading books with mommies and daddies, she's not learning about it reading books about mommies and mommies or daddies and daddies-- unless you choose to go that extra ignorant mile and explain that families like that exist to satisfy some people's sexual "choices."

FFS, it's not a choice, it's who a person is.

Willful ignorance is a choice.

I'm quite sure that Jesus would never say he couldn't care less about some people. If that's what you think, you might want to re-read his words more carefully.

Maybe if PP had gotten high-quality sex ed, she or he wouldn't associate same-sex couples with abortion.

Who put people in boxes??
We are not Christians. We are Muslims. Believe me, our kids are used to "non-traditional" families: Two fathers, two mothers, single parent, one father and multiple wives, aunts. grant-parents,... Nothing will faze them. Still, I would not want the school to teach them sex-ed. Plain and simple. All I am saying is that we should have the choice and parents should be able to say no. If you want your 10 y.o to be taught about anal sex, fine. But leave my kids out of this...
