[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are state laws that require informing parents of the content of sexual materials and allowing parents the right to opt their kids out of these types of discussions.  As a matter of the law.  The Supreme Court also recognizes the rights of parents, you know that Court that created the right for gay marriage?  Although pushing this agenda for kids I can 100% assure you will result in that right being overturned like Roe v Wade and left to the states.  Keep pushing on kids this is what you will achieve.   The Florida Gov sees how effective this is and is taking it National guaranteed.

You're not even informed enough to have a voice that carries any weight in this discussion. [b]This story has nothing to do with anything sexual.[/b] It's about a kid who is confused about his place in the world and he's starting to figure it out. Much like most middle schoolers are whether they are gay, straight, binary, non-binary. It's just telling the same tale as old as time in a way that shows kids acceptance and empathy for the LGBTQ2S+ community. [/quote]

That is dishonest.  How can you say that when we’re talking about being sexually attracted (or not) to one gender or another.

That is very much about sexuality.

You can have a book that is a kid ‘bring confided about his place in the world’ without having it be about sexuality.  But that is not the case here.  [/quote]

The kid feels pressured to pretend he likes girls, and to harass girls.  He learns that it's OK that he's not interested in boys or girls, and that that could be a function of his age and change, or something that stays the same, and that either of those are find.  He gets up the courage to talk to his family, and to stand up to his best friend who is a bully, and makes new friends.

On that list of things, which ones would you be horrified if you 11 year old copied?

Deciding he's not yet interested in anyone sexually?

Standing up to pressure to do things that are wrong?

Finding new friends in middle school?

Talking to his parents about how he feels?

Forming a relationship with his own grandfather?
