Are there other Republican parents at your charter?

Another Christian charter family here. I tolerate LGBT. I disagree with the behavior. I never bring this up or discuss. I would protest my charter school teaching LGBT issues. That should and can be taught at home.

When your child reads a book about a child with a mommy and daddy, that is not teaching about sex. I, too, would not be thrilled with a school book that said "Jimmy's mommy and daddy, who have sex to make babies and sometimes just for fun, brought Jimmy to his first baseball game."

A book that has a character with two mommies is no different from a book with a character who has a mommy and daddy in this way.

You are couching LGBT acceptance as about parents' right to provide sex education at their own pace, but that is only because you are willfully ignoring that loving families are not solely about sex. This is prejudice on your part.

Fortunately DC has a human rights ordinance and if you protested your charter having a Rainbow Families event you'd be gently informed that if you don't respect human rights as the city does, you might want to consider a religious school.

Before you shriek about intolerance, let's get one thing straight: "tolerance" doesn't mean accepting prejudice and willful ignorance as equally valid with fact and acceptance.

And LGBT is not "behavior." It's identity.

Going to church is behavior.

Disagree with behavior? I take it you saved yourself for marriage right?

We're a Christian family and stay away from the LGBT mobsters. Our family and many others do fine. We explain our values in our home and explain in a way that a child can understand that "secular progressives" in DC have overtaken the culture here. That doesn't meant we have to accept those (no) values in our home. This is a good teachable moment, Christians.

You're bigoted against Christians and that's your perogative. Just know that's what you are just as we know you will never change our beliefs.

NP here. Bigoted Christian, I feel bad for you. I think you should move to a place where people are equally intolerant of LGBT acceptance. Have you considered Raqqa?

People who are against schools teaching LGBT issues - are you against the idea of schools teaching the history of gay marriage in DC and the US? Are you against teachers intervening when students use the word "gay" as a pejorative? If students are saying homophobic things, are you against teachers explaining to those students that what they are doing is wrong? I can't quite fathom what you're against.

It's funny to me that the other republicans upthread mention that they don't broadcast their political affiliation. We don't either but it always comes out because of DH's job. But I also wish it wasn't the case that we feel like we CAN'T broadcast it. I bet if more moderate republicans in DC/DCPS/charter schools/diverse neighborhoods would be open about their political affiliation, our neighbors might change their perception of Republicans a bit.

Yes, it's horrible that people create a culture where you don't feel comfortable coming out as yourself. It would be really bad if the people in power created laws to discriminate against you... Wait - what topic are we talking about again?

Holy SHIT, that was hilarious...*mic drop*

Oh cry us a river LGBT mobster. Guess what- Christians aren't going anywhere. I'm going to keep my child in out top notch charter, whether you like it or not. Your panties will just have to stay in a bunch. Also, our charter is largely Hispanic and Catholic. We smile politely at you and stay far far away. We're especially polite when you start with your entitlement smarting off. You will never shake us. You're mad at Christians and we're keeping put. Too bad for you, haters!

OK, weirdo.

Why do Christians always feel so persecuted when they are actually a majority and control most of the levers of power? It's bizarre.

I wish these last few PPs would stop acting as if they represent all Christians. It's annoying.

-a NP, raised Presbyterian, who realizes one can be a Christian without being a bigot.

So you stay far away from Hispanics at your likely Spanish immersion school?

^you don't represent Christians, phony! Placating LGBT intolerant mobsters is just sad. It doesn't matter though. Christians aren't going anywhere. LGBT can try to shove their bullshit down everyone's throats and they still ain't gonna win. We're gonna keep on keep in' on and telling our kids that this trend of kissin' LGBT butts to go along to get along will have its day. In my home we believe in marriage is between a man and a woman and that will never change. You can be intolerant of this view till your panties crumble from the tight bunch. Could care a less. You're ain't gonna shake us!!!

Nice try, weasel! You know as well as I do that Latin Catholics aren't down with LGBT. We are polite to everyone and nothing more. In our homes we respect Christian teachings- marriage between men and women. Period.
