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]

+100 Spot On. I have no issue teaching gender ideology as a belief system, just like Christianity, Islam, etc. are taught as belief systems. [/quote]

Wtf does gender ideology even mean. I have yet to hear a coherent definition of what this is from anyone that complains about it. However, the government has spent hundreds of millions of dollars removed a list of banned words from government documents due to “gender ideology”. Even accountants and actuaries that have nothing to do with DEI are spending a significant amount of on this wild goose chase. The gender ideology EO was also written so poorly that it froze over 2 trillion dollars or government funding before agencies got clarification on what it meant. This really reminds me of the obsession about critical race theory, the people complaining about it can't clearly define what the even think it is. [/quote]

Gender ideology is the belief system that one has a gender identity, in essence a gender soul, that exists apart from one’s physical sex. The gender soul or identity can go through a spiritual transmutation in which one’s original gender is elevated to a different gender, in a baptism of sorts where the person is reborn into a new identity. Under this belief system, gender identity is more important than physical sex, and therefore adherents believe that where there are conflicting rights, gender-based rights are more important than sex-based rights.

Adherents of gender ideology believe that it is possible for children to be “born in the wrong body,” meaning a child’s self-perceived gender soul does not match the secondary sex characteristics of their physical body. Believers typically support the use of various physical and medical interventions to force the physical body to conform to the perception of the gender soul. These can be minimal (hair, nails, etc.) or extensive (surgeries for adults, puberty blockers for children, cross-sex hormones for both).

There are various philosophers that have written treatises that form the basis of modern gender theory and ideology. Judith Butler is probably the most famous, but there are others such as Andrea Long Chu.

This is obviously just a high-level summary, but in general, this is what the gender faithful believe. [/quote]
