[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone already knows (and ignores) the Ten Commandments.  Education is about learning new things.  As a teacher of white bread affluent kids, I have a duty to complement what they are learning at home, not just reinforce it.  The parents will teach the kids not to murder or steal.  But the parents of my students will NOT teach them to be tolerant and understanding of gay or gender non-conforming kids or kids.  The parents themselves are not tolerant!  This is where public education plays a role.  We want a tolerant society where differences are respected and honored.  Especially by the rich white kids from homophobic and transphobic family backgrounds.  During Pride Month, schools have plenty of important things to display on the walls without putting up the judgy theocratic Ten Commandments![/quote]

I'm glad you're not my kids' teachers. Your perspective isn't by default the right or good one, there's a lot of cruelty and unkindness hidden in "being kind" especially to kids with sex/gender issues because you're allowing them to persist in believing what is not scientifically true and to act out what is little more than a fake life. There's been a massive decline in mental wellbeing among youths these days, and especially among self-reported queer kids, and it's most likely due to the enabling "kind" people like you failing to provide a firm foundation of what is right and wrong, true and not true.

And there's unquestionably truth to that you are forcing on a weird and distorted form of invented morality that is corrupted and weak in its foundations because it really makes no sense, and is contradictory. [/quote]

I pay the same tax bill as you.  You are not going to teach my kid that her parents are living in sin.  Not in her public school.  You take that to a private school if that is what you are going to teach.
