As long as they’re a good kid, I couldn’t care less.

But I still support this ruling.

I wouldn't. Speaks volumes to their parents who allow that nonsense. Bad people

Talk about Jesus, get crucified (see what I did there).
Talk about Pride Parades, get celebrated.

Anal sex is gross. Poop. Will they teach that in sex Ed to accommodate the gays? Sodomy?

yes, exactly. It's a win/win. Not sure why MCPS fought it so hard. There are kids who opt out of Family Life. Not a big deal.

i think it is because the religious were demanding alternative programming and babysitting for kids who can't be by themselves. If MCPS doesn't have to
provide that, then it's all good.

Another person didn’t bother me o read the case but still shoots off anyway. Doesn’t matter what you think. It matters what relief the parents sought. Allowing an excused absence would have saved so much time and money but now the County allowed things to be made much worse.

The county is not teaching respect and tolerance and this is segregation to separate kids. Parents have rights. You’d be upset if they choose a different direction to teach and you wanted different. The curriculum should be inclusive and it’s not.

You have no idea what I think about the curriculum because I didn’t post it. I observed that the poster doesn’t actually know the case details. It was a loser case and now makes things much more difficult for everyone.

The case showed how intolerant MCPS and some of the parents are about tolerance to others. They want tolerance and acceptance when it comes to their beliefs but not others. Thats not healthy for our kids. We live in a community with a huge amount of diversity and all that diversity should be respected, just not select groups.

Yep. This basically says it all. You can close the thread now

It's only fair if we teach penis into vagina may create baby when ejaculated sperm meets egg.... That penis into butthole does not create baby... And don't forget the reach around

What's up with these talking points about "if you don't welcome and support my bigotry you're intolerant"? I see this a lot... but it's just gotcha phrasing, and people don't actually believe this, do they? Like, obviously "I don't like Christians and don't want them in my school" is intolerant, but do these people actually honestly think it's "intolerant" to not accommodate everyone's prejudices by erasing the existence of people they're biased towards from schools, and if is somehow more "tolerant" to exclude any mention of certain kinds of people because someone doesn't like them?

The parents weren't asking for anyone to be erased, nor where they asking that the books be banned; they simply asked that their children be able to opt out, as they had previously, and still can for some classes.

That's it - the books aren't being banned.

Yes but the challenge that presents is that means folks can opt out of books for any reason. Which then means teachers have to prepare double lessons.

If a teacher is using the books they are reading then, using them to teach literary elements, comparing and contrasting. Families would be opting out of all those lessons.

Where do you think that would lead next?

Would you please stop referring to us as "folks." We are parents. We are not random "folks" who have no horse in this race.

Or, the teachers could simply drop the objectionable books in the first place and teach everyone the same lesson, from the same books. Now there's a novel idea. If you want to read to your 6 year old DD about how she may really be a boy, do that on your own time, at home.

Try to be a bit more inclusive. Some kids are not raised with parents and live with grandparents, other relatives, family friends, foster care, group homes, etc so folks is appropriate.

Not respecting their beliefs is the ultimate intolerance.

No. "Folks" is a derogatory, dismissive term currently in vogue with leftist activists who truly believe that everyone and everything is exactly alike.

I'm a mother. I'm a parent. I'm not a "folk."

And hooray the suicide rates are going to go up! And bullying rates! Exactly what we want for our kids.

Hyperbole. Yawn

I’d suicide rates are going up as parents and our schools, we need to look at what we are doing and what changed to cause the increase. Then put real measures in place to stop it. Tired of people using suicide rates as a talking point but being inflexible to take a serious look at it and change their behavior


Respect and tolerance go both ways. If you want it, you need to give it and shaming these families showed how intolerant MCPS and many families really are.

I support parents being allowed to be partners in their kids education and being allowed to make choices best for their kids. Being inclusive means all groups and beliefs, not just the LGBT crowd.

I have no issue if my kid hangs out with trans kids and they do.

The only person here in a bubble is you, with your sock puppet posts. It's obvious that the vast majority of MCPS parents disagree with you. Just accept that and move on.
