Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS)
How’s it stealing innocence to know that somebody is in a wheelchair? Or that some people fast during Ramadan? |
lol a woman in a leather jacket!?? How demented are these religious right people that they see a leather jacket and they think sex or bondage? Oh my God! |
Name calling and hate for others. Be clear you do not support love is love. You don’t love. |
Can you point me to where someone on this thread said kids shouldn’t know someone was in a wheelchair or that some people fast during Ramadan? Can you also let us know how this relates to the elementary school curriculum? |
You can have all the tantrums you want, but that doesn’t change the transcript. Candidly the district lost the entire case in oral argument because they came across as unprepared and stupid. |
The case was nearly impossible to salvage by that point. |
There was no name calling in my post. And also wondering what happened to you in your childhood that you see a leather jacket and you think bondage and it makes me think that you were sexually molested. That is a demented way of thinking and if that is what happens when you look at a leather jacket, you might want to talk to a therapist. And I say that with all the love in the world. |
Agreed. So why are people trying to force their personal agenda and religion on the school system by demanding the right to review and opt out of what books are read? Let the teachers teach and don't micromanage what books they use to do it or waste their time with having to figure out some complicated opt-out process for your special snowflake You can have your own religion and personal beliefs but you need to communicate those to your children outside of the schools, not tell the schools what they can and can't have in their books. |
Actually, if you read the whole case on Montgomery County Public school said that they could not manage tons of children opting out because they didn’t have the staff to manage it. The Supreme Court actually agreed with them and said that kids can stay home and have an excused absence. So they didn’t actually totally lose. They do not have to provide alternate plans. |
If you really read this ruling , this is actually another win from Montgomery County Public schools. Because they provided an opt out and they provided excused absences, teachers do not have to change their curriculum. They do not have to ban any books. They do not have to get rid of any of these books. |
It's bizarre. Do some parents think kids are reading x rated books in elementary school? |
If you read the post above my post, you can see the person thanks reading Lailah’s lunchbox is stealing their child’s innocence |
Those things are not taught when you talk about being inclusive. Or, at least our experience they never talk about different religions and disabilities. |
Good point but I’m still stuck on kids getting actual books. |
Some teachers are very inappropriate with what they teach and share. You cannot have your own beliefs or religion as kids who speak up about them or their different families get reprimanded and targeted. Speaking from experience. Go back to the basics and don’t offend anyone. |
