[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's because of Libs of TikTok picking up this tweet: [twitter]https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1622700415685984264[/twitter]

Honestly, I have questions as to why this book was chosen to be read to kids. It's one thing to have the book available to kids in the library for those who might be LGBTQ and curious about this, but to make it a mandatory reading for all kids, whose parents might have differing and varying opinions on this topic seems like you're intentionally provoking a backlash.[/quote]

We are having similar conversations at our elementary school where I work. Most teachers feel that parents should have more of a say and the conversation should happen more at home. There’s a difference between acceptance of students who are transgender and being the first line in instruction of it. These books are mandatory in the county and parents have no opt out [/b]unlike puberty instruction which parents can opt out if. Make it make sense.[/quote]

This.  I didn’t even bother opening this thread at first, because we live in a way more lower-income neighborhood and I figured this thread would have no relevance to me.

But our recent PTA meeting just discussed these books.

Not necessary to force these books on elementary school aged kids.  Leave them in the library for kids who want to read them.  [/quote]

Not necessary to force any books on elementary school aged kids, surely? Why have any books? Why have a school library? Why even have school?[/quote]

What do you mean?

Are you comfortable having books that push certain religious values in our schools?  I’m not.

I see this as the same. [/quote]
