[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of you arguing that this is about religious freedom and not homophobia are strange. If a school taught a book where the main character eats pork, it would not be offensive to muslim or kosher students because they themselves aren't eating pork. Religious freedom is about what you do, not what the people around you do. [/quote]

Wrong. The equivalent would be a school deliberately choosing to have teachers read a series of books about eating pork, and then launching a teacher-led classroom discussion about why it’s ok to eat pork, then saying parents can opt out from those lessons, and then rescinding that option under political pressure.

Get it now?[/quote]

No it’s like reading a book where people are eating bacon for breakfast and asking to opt out because it’s pork.[/quote]

Nope.

National review: “Teachers are instructed to lead classroom discussions about the books, which cite terms such as, “intersex,” “drag queen,” and “non-binary.” One book claims that doctors only “guess” when determining a newborn’s sex.” NTD: “The board instructed employees responsible for selecting the books to use an “LGBTQ+ Lens” and to question whether “cisnormativity,” “stereotypes,” and “power hierarchies” are “reinforced or disrupted,” the petition said.“[/quote]

Trying to follow this issue, and I keep encountering one book in particular, the LGTBQIA+ positive graphic novel, Gender Queer.  It appears some find it controversial.

Can someone post what seems to be so controversial about this novel? [/quote]

We can’t, because the images are so graphic that they aren’t allowed to be posted on this site.  [/quote]

WARNING:  that congressional document is NOT SAFE FOR WORK!  The contents could subject you to discipline at work, due to the prohibition on viewing pornography at work.

The images are also prohibited on DCUMAD.[/quote]

lol this ain’t the book in the lawsuit.  God you people just say anything.[/quote]

The link was posted because someone on this thread was asking about Gender Queer specifically.  It was an issue in a separate parental rights lawsuit in Maryland.

but not the one that is the topic of this thread.  [/quote]
