[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents in Montgomery Count, Maryland, want to be able to opt out of instruction on gender and sexuality that they say goes against their religious convictions.

Why can't these a$$holes just go to parochial school? You cannot dictate public education according to religion. Nor should you. [/quote]
It's you who should form your own private schools where you can peddle your fetish-driven religion to the children of fellow groomers like yourself. The normal people in society shouldn't be driven out of schools so you can run amok with your incessant sex talks.[/quote]

It will never cease to astound me how much these people actually WANT to expose children to sexual topics.  Why?  I can't fathom the mind of someone who would promote this stuff to children.  [/quote]

What is with all your pearl clutching.  People are sexual entities.  They grow into that sexuality as the mature.  No one is promoting anything sexual or religious wise to kids in school.  They are just not shying away from letting kids make informed decisions. Sex exist.  It exist in many forms besides the missionary position.  Sexual health and responsibility exist.  Folks should understand it just like they get taught about other health.  LGBTQ people exist.  Folks should be taught to respect their choices just like you expect people to respect yours.

How is any of this difficult to comprehend? Why is any of it controversial? Half the people claiming to reject it on religious reasons have many more other things in their lives which are counter to religion observance and behavior.[/quote]

This is insane and ignoring reality.  The fundamental problem is being gay is at its heart about one’s sexual behavior.  It can only be one’s identity if he or she announces his or her sexual proclivities.  In order to have pride in being gay even children need to know it involves sexual acts.  It is the only way to normalize it - expose young children to sex.  The problem is exposing children to sex at a young age breaks down the necessary and natural self defense of these kids that helps avoid being exploited or abused by adults.  Normalizing sex for young kids means normalizing sexual acts by young kids.  [/quote]

Oh come on. You sound as crazy as the person you are responding to. It is quite possible to have books that casually have gay people as characters, no sex involved. Have a book with two gay parents and a kid, done. 99% of parents would be fine with that. You can easily have healthy, positive representation of gay people without exposing young kids to sex.

The problem is, that’s not what MoCo did. They took it much further. They picked books that had kids find drag queens, for instance, even though that’s a form of grossly sexist minstrelry. They picked books that asked kids to look for leather at pride parade. They picked books that presented as fact that children have a gender identity apart from their sex (which is a metaphysical and quasi-religious belief system, not reality).

If MoCo had just had books with gay parents, for instance, this case would not exist. But they went radically further and now there is going to be a ruling that is probably harmful for education overall, but also probably necessary to reign in radicalism in schools. [/quote]

Exactly. And this lack of common sense is what erodes trust in the school systems. [/quote]

+1. Read “grandpa’s pride” and ask yourself why some individuals want 7 year olds reading books that depict gay men in leather fetish gear making out. [/quote]
