[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I support it as a 2 mom family. Be nice for my kid and my kids friends to see our type of family on a book in the classroom. It’s a shame it’s only one book per grade and the teachers aren’t “ required” to read it though. Originally it was supposed to be 2 books per grade and the teachers weee getting training on incorporating them into classroom learning. So while it’s a step in the right direction. It’s a very small step. [/quote]

Now admin can blame teachers if kids aren't introduced to LGBTQ issues in ES.[/quote]

Good! Kids need to realize the world is not so black and white but much more nuanced and develop tolerance and understanding that this fosters.[/quote]

You’re wrong if you think this ‘fosters tolerance’.  You can already see the backlash.  This is a diverse county, which changing demographics.  Newly arrived Muslim immigrants are not happy about these books.  Newly arrived Latino devout Christians are not supportive of these books.

Forcing them onto kids in ES will not make some people ‘more tolerant’.  I promise.  [/quote]
