[quote=Anonymous]So as a Republican Episcopalian, the church is the same way it’s been.  It leans left.  I’m ok with it and if OP is southern, she may be Episcopalian and know it’s been this way down there too. Lots of Episcopalians in the south.  Now, my kids were in a nondenominational school for a while and you’d think that would be more woke.  I’m not sure it was but it was deeply uncomfortable talking about faith of any kind but mostly about Christian faith.  So kids were taught to be sensitive to Islam and Judaism but there was almost mockery of Christianity in any serious sense.  I mean Christmas trees were fine but the rest was lost.  So one upside of Episcopal schools is that they take religion seriously and make a sincere effort to teach the students about faith across the globe.  They feel comfortable in that space.  As a Republican I am also very happy to not go Catholic.  I am not a fan of its inability to treat women equally to men.  And I don’t think Jesus would be ok with that either nor would he have put gay people on this earth simply to make them feel inferior.  The trans topic is delicate in schools.  It has gotten consumed with talk about sports teams and Title 9.  But for the vast majority of schools dealing with trans kids, everyone knows it’s a phase.  Kids tend to cling harder to the forbidden things.  So many schools feel like the least disruptive way to deal with children exploring sexuality, gender and identity issues is to let them explore them and figure it out.  And I’m totally ok with that because it’s usually a phase.  So, southern family, I encourage you to consider the episcopal schools. They have excellent academics, strong core values, are accepting of people, but also offer the full spectrum of experiences a typical family wants in a school. [/quote]
