There was no trans push. That was MAGA fear mongering. Wanted respect and rights for LGBTQ, yes. Pushing trans, no. Fox News Dumbass. [/quote]

Dp and I agree with you mostly.

But as an example, in Montgomery county they allowed teachers to pick books with lgbtq themes to be taught to kids. For example, to be read aloud to the class at story time in kg or prek. The county previously allowed an opt out for parents to opt their child out. When they removed the opt out, parents protested and sued.

The protests were on Fox News every night. This case is going to the Supreme Court and you can bet it will be on every fox news show for days when it does.

This case was not about wanting rights for lgbtq rights because nobody was trying to get Moco to stop these lessons. The protests were about the removal of the opt out for parents who did not want their kids to be taught this and the lawsuit was brought about by parents of lower elementary students.

Fox News will frame it as look, when dems are in control they try to indoctrinate your 5 year in the public schools.

mcps should not have removed the opt out.

The fact that public schools are talking to 4 and 5 year olds about sexual preferences is a relatively new development in America, and one that certainly would have troubled our parents and grandparents.

Republicans would prefer no sex talk at all with kids that age, and would even more strongly prefer no sex talk with kids that age from non-family member adults.

LGBTQIA+ activists think it’s necessary to get to kids early, to normalize alternative sexualities so the kids don’t grow up to become homophobic.  Which makes sense to prevent hate.  And parallels sharing multicultural content with young kids.

But it’s complicated because LGBTQIA+ identities have to do with sexual preferences, e.g. “who you are attracted to” and “who you love.”  So even careful framing gets dangerously close to inappropriate themes.

And even the most careful framing to keep sexual preference out of it effectively treats bisexuality as the norm.  “Boys can love and marry boys or girls.”  It’s true that they can, but it isn’t true that every straight kid should think of marriage to either sex as a good path for themselves.

Anyway, Republicans are bigots, but it’s true that nothing has changed in schools in the past 15 years

Public Schools aren't talking to 4 and 5 year olds about sexual preferences. Turn off the cable news.[/quote]

Why did Democrats go ballistic about what they termed the “Don’t Say Gay” bill in Florida requiring teachers to hold off on sexual preference talk until 3rd grade?  [/quote]

Because the bill was pointless because no teachers were discussing sexual preferences with elementary school kids to begin with. [/quote]
