As already pointed out, this is all third-hand or worse, reported by people who don't like it. The base truth here is very likely to be something quite different and probably far less "activist" and "inappropriate" than has been presented.

Not that I can think of any reason kids shouldn't learn current terms and issues along with the drudgery of "My aunt's pen is on my uncle's table" and 1950s ideas of Mexican culture.

In this case, all of it.

There could be a factual discussion of the history of LGBTQ rights in parts of the Spanish speaking world, without focusing on relationships, which is inappropriate IMO for middle schoolers. The rainbow stickers and chanting are propaganda.

Just MO.

I'm struggling to believe this. Who in the world chants "LGBTQ"?

What do you mean, her "young child" is gay?

Do you mind saying what school district this is?

A language class, learning a term like all the others... just one more current and meaningful than "el mantón de mi abuela."

There was another thread in Parenting where someone complained about a teacher making kids chant something about being gay.

It sounds like the crap you read in those fake forwarded emails.

I remembered that too, I just couldn't remember where it was and I didn't have the patience to look for it.

What are your thoughts? I just think this teacher doesn’t need to be pushing anything accept teaching Spanish.
If it's in Spanish I wouldn't see a problem. However, passing out rainbows and chanting LGBTQ sounds odd in any class.

Tolerance is response to what arises spontaneously within a broader context. An agenda is preselected to introduce a point.

This LGBTQ+-#69 agenda is being pushed through everywhere. It is social programming. Speak up against it to the teacher, parents, and administrators and stress the point that it is not relevant to the curriculum. Tell the teach to obsess over it on their own time and stop indoctrinating the children with this agenda.
