Sorry. Asking for a link from the person who asked if OP read the lawsuit. |
Except the kids being opted out are the ones that need to know it’s ok and normal to be gay or be part of a gay family. |
Exactly. Kids need mirrors and windows. Pretending gay people don’t exist leads to kids who feel immense shame for who they are and who try to enforce heteronormativity. Teachers aren’t talking about sex. They’re talking about the fact that some families have two moms, and that’s okay! |
No child in the US today will escape the knowledge that the LGBTQ+ community exists. It doesn’t need to be taught in schools. |
Do you realize how dumb that sounds? Everyone knows, but we shouldn't have books with "them" in it or acknowledge them in any way in schools? Why not? What are you afraid of? |
Why exactly? Is it less important to know about the assassination of Harvey Milk than that of MLK Jr. just because one was fighting for gay rights and the other for the rights of Black Americans? |
They’re afraid that by teaching that gay people exist that gay people will have more rights to… live their lives. Or, gasp, their kid might end up gay. |
Where is the line between kids not being exposed to gay characters in books and kids not being exposed to gay people in schools? |
I never say this but I am gojng to use a dcum phrase —- Oh, you sweet summer child. If only the merits of the legal case, or the quality of the briefs, mattered. What a world that would be. |
They would need to opt out of every book with a married couple. |
It’s not taught. They literally don’t want a book with 2 moms. |
Nope, that’s why I’m asking. I have the right to keep my elementary age kid away from this garbage. |
What garbage? The fact 2 women marry? |
But you are ok with teaching your kid that some human beings are garbage because of the way God made them? That kind of drops the value of your opinion on the subject in my eyes. |
