[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Allowing opt out seems like a no brainer.[/quote]

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 [b]religious beliefs do not belong in public school, and they should not dictate what gets taught. [/b]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]

But you are currently allowed to opt out your child from sex education based on religious beliefs and to opt out of other things based on religious beliefs. This is no different. That being said...IMHO the opt-out should only be allowed for K-3 grades and should be solely focused on books related to gender ideology. There is a huge difference between books on different family dynamics (two moms/dads, step-mom/dad, etc.) and books teaching gender ideology. Huge difference.[/quote]

No. Religious values don’t end after 3rd grade.  [/quote]

But after third or fourth grade, you do start learning about major world religions. This is no different IMO. You can teach gender ideology as a belief system just like Christianity, Islam, etc. are taught as belief systems. [/quote]
