No harm, no foul. No indoctrination.

Please come up with a legitimate analogy.
Um it is exactly the same. YOUR analogy is not what teacher did. 4 sentences versus a powerpoint slide presentation are not the same.

My bible reading = the powerpoint presentation. Indoctrination.

She was and did not violate them.



Do your family members and extended family members also believe the subject matter of a heterosexual spouse is not suitable for elementary school?

The fact that a lesbian teacher exists in the community is reason enough to understand that different types of relationships and families exist. Its not inappropriate to have this understanding.
IMO, some subjects are better left to families to handle.

Didn't you know that teachers rights trump parental rights? Sad but true. Parents need to yank their kids from public school for a few days.

The powerpoint presentation was about her life. There was ONE photo of her with her spouse. That is not indoctrination.

No, your bible reading does not equal her powerpoint presentation because the presentation was about the whole of her life not just her being gay.

Try again.

You would have no issues if a teacher did a bible reading in the classroom? None whatsoever, and would defend her/him when the lawsuit came around?

LOL Sure. I'm positive this would have riled up the community if Mrs. Bailey was straight.

How about comparing the same thing. Like a picture of the teacher with her wife and a picture of the teacher reading her bible.

I didn't say I'd approve of a bible reading. Bible reading isn't the same as showing a photo of you and your spouse.

I'm not sure why you keep trying to analogize the two.

You misunderstand my post.

For parents to make changes in schools they need to pull their kids so the school is affected financially.

It is the only recourse parents have left. Schools do not care what parents think. 90% of parents can agree, and the school board will enact policies against these known parental wishes. It's happening. I guess you think it's funny when parents have no control over what their kids experience in the classroom.
