[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the LGBTQ poster.  I don’t care about your sexuality but my kid doesn’t need to explore their sexuality in public school through assigned reading and adult intervention.  The fact you jump to a nasty term like “bigotry” makes me think you’re the one who needs to learn about the rights of others and respecting others.  My kids can respect others but at the end of the day it is not the role of public schools to teach that, that is my role as a parent.  [/quote]

Newsflash: your kids already know. Wake up.[/quote]

+1.  You want other people to hide or be quiet about their sexuality or gender identity. You do not want to allow schools to recognize their lives in the same
way that the lives of straight people are represented - through stories. That is bigotry. You have a right to believe what you want but you don’t have a right to insist that other people’s voices, identities and presentation be silenced.  [b]It is the role of public schools to teach about the world we live in[/b] and LGBTQIA people are a [b]full and equal part of that world[/b]. [/quote]

I'll wait patiently for the novel that encourages kids to explore Christianity...[/quote]
Or the Koran. Or maybe the Kama Sutra.  :mrgreen: [/quote]

I mean, the kids are going to be exposed to some of the things in the Kama Sutra anyway.  Kids learn things in MS whether you like it or not.

Open your mind and be more tolerant.  Let’s see a lesson on the Kama Sutra as summer reading.    [/quote]

-1/10 at being funny. Such low effort. The book in question is about a kid who feels like they don’t fit in in middle school. It explores themes of acceptance. Apparently parents in this county have a difficult time separating sexuality and being an ally/ finding a community of people who you feel comfortable with. That’s all the book is about but you imbeciles in here can’t be bothered to actually read the book to understand what you’re so “outraged” about. It’s pathetic.[/quote]

I like the acceptance message. I think the ‘intro to victim groups’ ideology is unnecessary.

Listen, if you are like me and feel that 50% of what is going on is social contagion… well let’s make sure the schools get personally involved in spreading the contagion. Farther than culture, YouTube, social, friends are already doing.

Acceptance is great. Please accept my truth here. [/quote]
