Testing is different from curriculum. Test question can't be formed that avoid marriage?

It is not a school's job to use books, etc that normalize gay marriage. That is the parent's job. In the public schools, that's called indoctrination[/quote]

Agreed. Anything about sexuality (hetero-, homo-, bi-) has no place in the public schools. It is not a school's job to use books, etc that normalize marriage. Or, indeed, any romantic relationships at all. That will leave students with very, very, very few books, etc to read, and their understanding of history will be odd. But principles are principles, and my principle is to oppose the indoctrination of children at public expense.

So you would avoid any books that make reference to a child's mom and dad?  I would be fascinated to see how you'd build an elementary school curriculum without such staples as Ramona Quimby, or Little House on the Prairie, or Sarah Plain and Tall or Harry Potter or . . . . All books that normalize heterosexual marriage.  [/quote]
