Where is the line between kids not being exposed to gay characters in books and kids not being exposed to gay people in schools?[/quote]

AP:

“The stories include a family’s attendance at a pride parade, a girl’s introduction to her uncle’s husband-to-be, a prince’s love for a knight amid their battle against a dragon, a girl’s anxiety about giving a valentine to another girl and a transgender boy’s decision to share his gender identity with his family.”

In this case, I believe the line has been crossed from education to promotion.[/quote]

Agree.  I have no problem with books that feature same gender parents.  But when you start reading books romanticizing kids’ relationships (girls having crushes on a girl classmate) or kids changing genders, that crosses the line for me.  Gender identity and romantic relationships between kids shouldn’t be topics taught in schools

So, a book like Junie B Jones which talks about her crushes on boys should be banned too right? [/quote]

You seen unaware of what Maryland’s policy is. National review: “Teachers are instructed to lead classroom discussions about the books, which cite terms such as, “intersex,” “drag queen,” and “non-binary.” One book claims that doctors only “guess” when determining a newborn’s sex.” NTD: “The board instructed employees responsible for selecting the books to use an “LGBTQ+ Lens” and to question whether “cisnormativity,” “stereotypes,” and “power hierarchies” are “reinforced or disrupted,” the petition said.“

Stop pretending this was a matter of reading a book to kids about a family with two moms. It’s about instruction related to the books that parents not only object to, but object to the timing of the introduction of the material (elementary age).

Like sex ed (also valuable instruction), an opt out is warranted.[/quote]
