[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s definitely a book about sexuality and identity and very much political. I have no problem with it being available in the library but definitely an odd choice for a school to recommend to a rising 6th grader.

I am a moderate Democrat and very supportive and accepting of my LGBTQ friends and family. However, [b]I don’t want my kids thinking they should be questioning their gender or sexual identity at an age where it has never crossed their mind. Rather than simply acknowledge and accept that some people are born different, these exercises make it seem that everyone should question their identity and have a label. They make it sound like a lifestyle choice vs a characteristic that the person was born with and can’t change. 
I think it’s weird that a book is written about being asexual in middle school. Hello!!! The kid hasn’t gone through puberty yet. He doesn’t have to be interested in boys or girls. He is perfectly normal. [/b]Why does this require a label or an identity group????? THIS is the stuff that allows conservatives to win elections.
