This trans book reading example is ridiculous. It was never something people had to do. Kids were never being randomly sat down to do it. It was an intentional thing that everybody agreed to, and was aware of ahead of time. Are you trying to tell other parents how to raise their kids? Because that’s what you’re doing. Why are you trying to control other people’s lives?
Nope - its the idea that many of these books are simply not appropriate for the ages of the kids they are being read to. Perhaps this specific instance isnt so horrible but dont act like schools arent trying desperately to block parents from all kinds of “things” in public schools. C’mon, get out there and look into this stuff a bit versus getting info from unreliable sources.
So I should have my ability to read castrated because you think some books aren’t appropriate? I was reading college level books in elementary school, if books were gated by “age appropriateness”, I would never have become a good reader, because books “my age” were crap. You have no right to dictate what someone else can or can’t read, even your own children. People are their own, you don’t own them.
But I don’t need to be in charge of everyone else’s kids in school. At this point I’m pretty sure you are trolling. You don’t need every book in the library to be screened by every single parent, there would be nothing left. And certainly not screened by you if you don’t even have school kids. Again - if you want your kid ignorant of everyone different from them, your remedy is homeschooling. Not censoring every challenging idea out of the public school curriculum. Some parents don’t want evolution taught in school, should schools bend to them too?
Trolling? Because Im not towing the company line here? Thats so “the usual” comeback(calling someone a troll) when anyone questions anything at all about these issues. Just shutup and do what the school board says. No questions, please. Are you denying that they are actively trying to hide some very important information from parents about this sexuality and gender stuff? Thats a fact. You are free to deny it but it remains a fact.
I said before that religion is not in schools and it doesnt belong there.
Do you have kids in school? I do, and there is no indoctrination except the pledge of allegiance. If you object to what the school teaches, the remedy open to you is homeschooling, not trying to strong-arm the school down to the lowest common denominator.
And if you’ve ever had to do child sexual abuse/trafficking awareness training you would have learned that the risk to kids comes from people the adults trust. The preacher, the camp counselor, uncle. Not drag queens reading library books to families. That harms nobody. If you don’t want to attend, don’t.
Libraries, the ones my tax dollars support, should be free from religious control. Separation of church and state is constitutionally mandated. Again, if you object to this you have churches, church schools, and homeschooling, all of which are allowed. You are allowed your beliefs and biases, but not to push your restrictions on everyone else.
No longer have kids in schools, thankfully. Ummm - maybe your schools are different but ours have no religion in them at all. They booted that a while ago. Can barely celebrate Christmas or Halloween now without someone getting “offended”. And, you are also missing that there is a clear agenda at public schools. You may agree with it but not everyone does. Public schools should be 100% neutral in every way possible. So, example: Our neighbor teaches at a semi-local high school. Back during the riots…errr, sorry the protests by BLM, the school allowed BLM flags everywhere but no pro police or support the blue flags. Why? Should be neutral. The LGBTQ stuff is very aggressive. You might have missed that too or your schools are different.
Heres a deal: lets stop pushing ALL agendas & politics in schools and just teach them usable life skills? Sound good? I think so.
Not what I said at all about cops. Never said I hated LGBTQ people either. Please provide where I said such things or refrain from making such statements. Thanks.
You whined that the school didn’t allow your “we support cops for murdering black people” flags. Maybe they respected the US flag more than those who keep desecrating it into the fascist thin blue line flag.
EDIT: Also, the BLM protests happened when schools were closed due to Trump’s shitty mishandling of the pandemic. And most of the protests happened during summer. Do you think schools go all out for decorating and events during remedial summer classes? You were just making shit up because you wanted to pretend that you’re persecuted.
Not you. I responded to TheMage. After some digging around in the modlog, it looks like he’s been banned instancewide for being a bigoted conspiracy turd. Don’t know how it got to your inbox.

Incorrect. Parents need to be involved in their kids lives to help guide them. Sorry if you disagree.
Lmao, and being involved in their lives means you get to dictate their experiences?
He thinks that being involved in his children’s lives means he gets to dictate that other people’s children are raised to be bigots.

It’s nice to know that in addition to hating LGBTQ people, you also love it when cops murder unarmed black people for you.

Me? You respond to wrong comment?

Agreed. Politicians should 100% stay the fuck away from the school curriculum. Just let teachers do their job.
