Where did you back up your claims that parents were starting the gender reassignment process on 3-5 year olds? Telling me to google it, is not backing up your claims.

Sorry you can't follow those simple instructions. That's your problem, not mine.

Good luck!

Sorry you don't understand the rules of organized debate. Make a claim, back it up.

Progressive teachers will state that they are co-parents. This is so intrusive. These teachers are supposed to be TEACHERS we are the parents...they should get out of our faces and concentrate on reading and writing and teaching kid how to count. Progressives are NOT about freedom. They are meddlers who seek to control others.
Well said.

Conservatives are careful to leave training in values and social issues up to the parents and independent of the state.

Liberals want to indoctrinate children. Just like Hitler and Stalin.

We are overrun with these people, even though they are in the minority. They are driven with an overwhelming desire to go into positions of power and influence, to enlighten the ignorant masses, and push their superior views, lifestyle choices and ideology.
Exactly.

Don't worry. It won't be long before that happens.

Yes, even though I'm gay, I agree that it should be up to the parents to decide what is acceptable for their children to learn.

If gay rights equals progress, then that progress should first manifest itself in parental attitudes, and only then in children's attitudes.

Teachers trying to circumvent parents is like somebody demanding an A without first doing the homework required to get that A.

Exactly.

If a 4 year old watched someone die, well, we're going to be learning about death and dead bodies a little earlier, aren't we? This doesn't mean it should be part of the standard school curriculum for 4 year olds.

That's a topic for a family to educate, not a school.
Well said.

If Heather has two daddies, there should be nothing in the school curriculum that condemns that fact, but there is no reason to give four year olds a "tour" of all the possibilities -- which, in France, would include Daddy having a mistress!

please

what if a hetero group was was propagandizing a classroom agenda for 4 year old tykes called 'straight(en)ing the classroom' - would you be ok with that?
Bingo!

Yes, it's all about power and the destruction of social norms and bonds so that the liberals can weaken the populace and take over.

Back in the 1960s, they pleaded for tolerance, open mindedness, and the opportunity to have their views considered and respected.

Now, it's their ever more perverted and destructive way or the highway.

I like the way you think, dechatelet.

I've noticed most of the liberal types tend to have a meltdown the moment you ask them to back up their statements with anything more than emotion.

If you look closely enough, you might spot one or two in this thread!

I know! I'm still waiting for one poster to back up their claims.

At that age, I wanted to be a robot. It's a good thing my parents didn't take me up on it!!

When I got older, I could reason better to decide what's right for me, not what I repeated because I learned about something new.

"Kicked out", to make it sound as if they are the bad guy....

Sounds like they gave the parent a choice.... Stay or leave.



The kid was not "kicked out". The parents wisely chose the go someplace else, that respects the parents.

That's one of the things I like about this country. You can "vote with your feet". Don't like what a school teaches? Don't go there. Don't like a store's policies? Don't shop there.

And with education being so important, I'm glad that child was taken out of a school where their educational priorities are out of whack.

And maybe when the daughter from the article gets older, she'll have this to look forward to:

More tolerance education, right?
