So, does the state get to keep a secret life from the parent, if you think so, then your grooming them. Yes, that should be illegal and not tolerated. You don't get to decide for parents what can be taught, and what can be kept you've made parents a voting block, and that's about two voting age adults. Don't hide shit from parents.
Stop misusing grooming to support your ridiculous notions. Not telling a parent something isn’t “grooming” anyone. I posted above, so you think a parent should be told if a teacher sees Jennifer holding hands with Alyssa in the hall? What if she’s holding hands with Steve? What if the kid tells the teacher “my mom says if I’m gay she will disown me” still should go to parent? What if the teacher overheard a rumor that Jennifer had sex with someone, must share? And if rumor is false and ruins Jennifer’s life just too fucking bad?
You guys come up with these asinine positions to defend against something that legit isn’t happening and CANT happen (you can’t groom someone into being gay, try learning something), that then immediately fall apart under any scrutiny (oh so we should ban teaching books if the word marriage is in them) but just triple down and pretzel yourselves into the absolute dumbest shit possible.
Pass a law that says no explicit discussion of sexual topics for certain age and this is a nothing burger. But that’s not what the goal is. Cruelty and hate is the goal and that law doesn’t satisfy the bloodlust.-

Ok so you live in Florida. Have you talked with your ex about how important it is to leave the state due to this abhorrent law? If she feels as strongly as you it shouldn’t be that hard to get on the same page and move somewhere nice like Illinois or Minnesota or Washington state that isn’t as expensive as NY or CA.
Your brain is literally broken. For one, backwater social conservatives have directly caused the deaths of thousands of those kids with their hate but let’s laughter about it.
For two, your position is that it should be easy for two married couples to all agree on another place across the country to live, no more than 30 minutes apart, with jobs in 4 different fields all found in the new area, existing pensions/retirements abandoned, while pulling two kids out of the school they have gone to their whole lives? Should be easy!
And no I live in Texas, I know it’s hard to keep track of the states being ruined by 73 IQ backwater cave people.-

It’s not the poor pushing for public schools to embrace radical gender identity to 5 year olds. It’s wealthy white liberals. The poor largely don’t like it any more than I do.
White wealthy libs and their luxury beliefs. Like defunding police.
Talking about going to a parents wedding is “radical gender identity”. A book that has a man hugging a man is “radical gender identity”. Just fucking lie after lie after lie after lie after lie.-

What’s going on in Florida and their educational choices is democracy. Desantis is more popular than ever.
Purple haired freaks don’t like it. But they are in the minority.
What’s going on in Germany is democracy. Hitler is more popular than ever. Jews don’t like it. But they are in the minority.-

Unless you’re poor but fuck them amiright
Exactly. Or have other reasons. My ex and I have joint custody of our kids. I’m really really tired of 73 IQ bigoted fuckshits ruining this state but can’t really leave at least until kids are college age without trying to coordinate both of our families moving, all 4 of us new jobs etc.-

Oh, I love The Shawshank Redemption. Or as you call it “white guy’s wrongful conviction.”
I’m sure you identify with the warden and are big sad about the oppression of the obtuse just so others can be free.-

Name any bill you’d like, the other side will change the name to fit their narrative. It’s just the way it works.
Or it’s not a narrative, it’s just ya know what the fucking bill does. -
Renaming it was part of their political calculations, which I’m not upset with, that’s the name of the game. Like I said, I hope they have time to teach in between all the marriage talk.
So if they come up with a law that says if your skin is darker than a certain level your bail is doubled, and people call that the Bigger Bail for Blacks Bill, is that political calculations or just a descriptor of what ignorant bigots have done yet again? -
Kids have families. This fact happens to come up at school. It doesn't have to even be about marriage. And marriage doesn't equal "sex." As some well know.
So no one should be mentioning their parents I guess, since some kids have same-sex parents? Or are just the kids in an LGBT family not ok for the teacher to engage with t on these topics that casually come up all the time?
Public schools are for everyone. Every kid. Every family. Every student should feel safe and welcome. Private school or home is the place to indoctrinate kids otherwise.
My son has two moms. Ever since he's been of school age, I have never wanted him to feel shamed, singled out, stigmatized, less than, or othered due to that fact.
Imagine that.
Yes yes that’s all well and good but you see your child simply must feel ostracized and weird and less than because if not than some people might have to explain weird concepts like “different people are attracted to different people” to their kids and reducing depression and suicide in children just isn’t worth that!-

Oh please. Research who dubbed it “don’t say gay.” That’s politics, same as it ever was.
Because that’s the fucking effect of the law as you illustrate by recommending books that discuss straight marriage while supporting termination, prosecution, and civil liability for teachers who mention same sex marriage. It’s not a fucking tough concept. Or are you going to argue this law was passed bc there were discussion of hetero marriage so problematic that they needed to be outlawed? -
Both sides are making an issue because it’s part of the culture war. That’s politics. I’ve tried to find an issue with the law, but it just makes too much sense.
One side passing a horseshit law and the other objecting isn’t “both sides making an issue”. It isn’t an issue until the law is proposed and passed, which was done by one side.-

That's literally been most of our points the entire time. It's never been an issue until Republicans decided to make it an issue. It happens so infrequently at that age that most of us would have absolutely no issue with a teacher generally stating "sometimes a woman and another woman love each other" and moving on. You feel different for whatever reason, that's fine. But having a law to prohibit it--especially one that specifically targets the LGBT aspects--is nothing but culture war bullshit from a governor looking to plant his flag.
And is RIDICULOUSLY unfair to teachers, as in my earlier example of "we went to Six Flags", "I went camping", "I went to a wedding" for the teacher to be expected to immediately halt discussion without hurting the 3rd kid's feelings, lest the teacher be fired, sued, and/or prosecuted because Lisa wanted to tell a story about her fucking dad's wedding. Ghouls and monsters. Look at the history books at the ugly hateful faces behind those firehoses and ask why you want to be seen exactly the same in the future.

Maybe you discuss it with your kids, I’m not judging.
Ok boys, almost time to start pre-gaming. Pop a top if you got ‘em.
I’d prefer the teachers stick to coloring and ABC’s, maybe Where the Red Fern Grows if they’re feeling crazy.
Oh, and also Six Flags, or camping trips, all that is cool too as you agreed earlier.
Also this book is no good, it features married characters, too confusing for kids! Not to mention "As he returns with the dogs, he sees a heart carved on a tree with the names "Dan + Ann" " OH MY DEAR GOD HOW CAN THIS BE EXPLAINED TO CHILDREN?????
The sick and truly truly sad part is that you would be totally fine with this book unless the above was "Dan + Dave" and then you would be pushing to ban it right along with the other banned books.

At home? Of course, and they don’t mention it. I think you guys really overestimate how much kids talk about marriage.
We had wedding ceremonies on the playground in 1st grade. And so you do acknowledge that there is nothing at all odd about kids being exposed to the concept of marriage at that age. However, you have expressed opposition to them being exposed to the concept of "gay marriage" at this age. So your previously-stated position of "I don't think teachers should discuss relationships or marriage at all" is really a pretext so you don't have to admit the bigotry of you're totally fine with hetero marriage but not gay marriage.

At the right age, sure. As long as some teacher doesn’t butt in, we’re good.
So your kids have never seen a movie or been read a book with a wedding or characters who are married?

Oh my god, your hypothetical backed me into a corner and I have nowhere to go. What do I do? Good lord, where is the teacher in this scenario again?
Total side note, but I do remember the first time my kids saw a black child. They sat wide eyed for a second or two and then played with them, it’s just a different situation all together.
It's not different at all. If your kids were told "some boys like girls and some boys like boys and some boys like both and sometimes when people like each other a lot they get married" they would sit and then nod and say cool and go on doing what they are doing and now magically wouldn't be confused whenever they actually encounter same-sex relationships!

That was in the context of why the issue never is brought up with my children. We simply don’t interact with openly gay individuals.
So if you lived in an all-white neighborhood, your kids wouldn't know that racism is bad and that Blacks should be treated just like anyone else?

It’s not the teacher’s role, it’s the counselor’s role. You know, where these more delicate issues are discuss in private. I don’t think you have the foggiest idea of how the school system works actually.
Delicate issues like *checks notes* I attended my dad's wedding last weekend. JFC.

You’ll have to forgive me, as I’m being slammed with many hypotheticals at the moment. It’s very difficult to have a coherent conversation with 10 people at the same time. Obviously, name calling is inappropriate. Would you explain what a mother fucker is? Of course not. This is common sense my man.
But, I mean, saying "faggot" is inappropriate is really making a value judgment related to sexual orientation, isn't it? What if that kid's parents think calling gay people "faggots" is appropriate, really not up to the teacher to regulate those values, right? What if instead of calling another kid that, a kid says "I don't like that show, it's for faggots." OK for teacher to say that word is inappropriate or no?
OK I'll give you a list I'd love your answers on:
In the question about Lisa going to her dad's wedding, don't you think Lisa might be upset that the teacher engaged with all the other students but not hers? Maybe there was something wrong with what she said, or the teacher doesn't like Lisa? Putting those things on the table to torturously remove any reference to human relationships is so beyond absurd.
Can a teacher read a book or show a movie with married characters or that depicts a wedding to 3rd graders?
Can I get a list of other topics that should be literally forbidden for teachers to engage in discussions in addition to "human relationships" and "marriage"?
Isn't this hysterical opposition to any discussion on any issue at all that a parent may not be 100% in agreement with exactly what home-school is for?

No, more like “that’s great Lisa, ok class now remember to color inside the lines.”
So the teacher can engage on all topics except for a wedding for "reasons"? Can't ask her what the best part was, etc.? You are drawing these ridiculous artificial lines all to defend a reprehensible political action while pretending you are standing on the side of eradicating this nonexistent problem of deep sexuality discussions.

I had no idea homosexual was offensive, actually. I’ll remember that. I have no interest in persecuting anyone. My only wish is that a teacher stay out of that arena, which seems fairly reasonable.
If a teacher hears a kid call another kid a faggot should they step in and say that's wrong to do, or do they need to stay out of that arena? How about my previous example where a kid says they have two moms and another says "that's weird!" should the teacher briefly explain that's common and not weird or just tough tits there, can't enter the arena? Why'd you ignore my question about reading a book with married characters to 3rd graders, OK or not?

It’s not weird if it gets mentioned, it’s just weird if the teacher engages in the discussion.
I see so it's not weird if it goes:
TIMMY: I went to Six Flags
TEACHER: Cool Timmy, what did you ride?
TIMMY: *answers*
AUDREY: I went camping
TEACHER: Great Audrey, what was the best part?
AUDREY: *answers*
LISA: I went to my dad's wedding
TEACHER: *changes subject*
Or would you prefer "Lisa, can you define the natal sex of your father's new spouse so I can decide if it's "really weird" if I engage here?"
It's absolutely PREPOSTEROUS that anyone thinks this is the way it should work.

Kind of sick pride in being the measuring stick for absurd beats. This is from my playbook for sure, combo of horrific runout and questionable decisions by villain that reward them and punish us to max extent.
