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]

I think few people would deny the existance of gay people.

The contraversy isn't that gay people exist, its wether or not they're an appropriate topic for younger children, or at what age should they be discussed, as well as wether or not it is appropriate to normalize their behaviour, wether or not it is appropriate to celebrate their behaviour and wether or not parents have the right to object to contraversal teachings.

Obviously not everyone agrees otherwise SCOTUS wouldn't be taking this up.[/quote]

You could say things about single mothers, interracial marriage, etc. Should parents be able to opt out of books that include a character that is a single mother married to, or if a white woman is married to a black man? There are people who would opt out of these books for religious reasons as well. Are you also ok with this?[/quote]
