What about opting out of books with interracial couples?[/quote]

If it’s against someone’s religious beliefs then of course.[/quote]

You can have whatever religious beliefs you want, but you don't get to decide who gets to exist and have their existence acknowledged. Gay people exist. Some kids have two moms or two dads. Some books will feature characters and families like this.

Your religious beliefs do not belong in public school, and they should not dictate what gets taught. If you want to raise your kids with hate and bigotry, you can instill those values at home, and you can send your kids to private school. But being gay is not a crime in this country. These people and these families exist, and we will not pretend they do not because it makes you feel icky. [/quote]

Well, your fundamentalist religious beliefs that a gender identity apart from physical sex exists, that children can baptize themselves into a new gender identity, and that children can make life altering medical choices based on that faith-based gender identity are currently being taught in public schools, so we have a problem indeed with religious beliefs in public schools.

Almost nobody objects to books featuring two dads or two moms. If that was all the books contained, this case wouldn’t exist. But the books went much further.

The better analogy is this: When children’s books include a woman in a hijab as a character, almost nobody cares. Many of those exist already. But if an obligatory book for young children is something called “Maryam’s First Hijab,” celebrates the day a child dons her first hijab, and has a word finder asking kids to find items associated with Islam as part of the English curriculum, there would justifiably be a lawsuit. Or, imagine “Josephine’s First Holy Communion” being taught in pre-K. That is essentially what has happened here. These MoCo books crossed the line into a faith-based belief system, and therefore came into direct conflict with other faith-based belief systems. That’s the source of the conflict. It’s a matter of conflicting faiths, and none belong in public school. [/quote]
^^All of this. The nutjobs you're arguing against already know this difference though. They're mad because they had gotten accustomed to using gay acceptance as cover for their indoctrination of children into fetishes and kinks. They'll die mad their agenda has failed after being allowed to groom kids for years.[/quote]
