    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.

      Incorrect. Parents need to be involved in their kids lives to help guide them. Sorry if you disagree.

          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.

        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.
