[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The social warriors are strong in this thread!  :roll: [/quote]

And they will never let go of their anti-LGBTQ+ agenda.  [/quote]

Keep willfully ignoring every argument made on this thread. Keep telling yourself the other side has no real argument and is only anti-LGBTQ, even though posters keep saying that is NOT their issue.

Keep it up. You will lose.[/quote]

Nobody is making any arguments beyond a vague “it’s wrong.”  No one will explain what exactly they are afraid will happen.  People raise these bogeymen of supposedly inappropriate reading questions or class discussions, and then conveniently disappear when asked to provide more information to explain why it was inappropriate.

Here’s a clue - when your position requires withholding relevant information so it can’t be challenged, your position is probably wrong. [/quote]

Have you even read the thread? I've posted several times and so have others. What a waste of time since you don't actually want reasons.[/quote]

Seriously. We have given many specific reasons. No one here has taken issue with the LGBTQ piece. I would still think the book and topic were too mature if the character were heterosexual and exploring heteronormative feelings and the school wanted my 11 year old to submit charts to the new English teacher labeling  his gender identity and sexuality. Is nothing personal and private for adolescents and their families? [/quote]

No, you haven’t.  You’ve just said it’s wrong and should only be taught at home, with no explanation of what specific things are being taught in the classroom or what harm may come from what schools are teaching.  People have asked for details about the supposedly objectionable reading questions and been ignored.  People have asked for an explanation of a poster’s story about a supposedly inappropriate “how we met story” and been ignored.  People asked the poster to explain what she was referring to when she said her kid’s school was teaching inappropriate values about relationships and were ignored.  Whenever you people are pressed for specific on the harmful things that are supposedly happening in schools, you dodge, deflect and attack, because you know you can’t answer the question in a way that supports your position.  We all see through you. [/quote]

+1 This is the level of reading comprehension our kids will have if we allow MCPS English curriculum to continue.[/quote]
