[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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.[/quote]

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.
