It's fine to hold school districts responsible for doing their jobs, but it's not ok to threaten them with violence. Keep in mind that much of what teachers teach is controlled by state legislatures and the laws they write.
What freaking ridiculous comment.

Pressuring children into thinking they are homosexuals is worse.

Mist of the hateful rhetoric in this thread is being presented by those attacking the left for being hateful. It is ironic.



And I will repeat public prayer does not imply tolerance of all religions.

Why does the left promote moral decay? Because that's who they are.

The left believes in each American being free from others' religion. You know, like in the Constitution.

The difference is that the right accepts racism and those in racist organizations. The left calls out racists and those who have religious prejudice.

See the difference?

Yes, when you force or urge kids in public school to do so.

Exaggeration can be predictive. It helps understand what can happen down the road if things continue along a certain path.

Children being entertained by drag queens is fine, but holding teachers and administrator accountable for our own children is none of our business.



The tide is turning on the left.
There was no event of any teacher providing sex ed at the elementary level. There is much objection to a vaguely constructed bill that could end up with a teacher facing criminal charges for even mentioning that some families may have 2 dads

Traditional morals are timeless. We are seeing the results of the degradation of these values.
Much tradition is indeed steeped in racism and sexism.

No one cares if the coach prays by himself. What we do care about is him having the appearance of forcing others to pray with him to the Christian God. Coaches are in a position of power and influence over young people, and by praying in public, the coach surely made some of those young people feel like they would be left out of the team if they didn't go along with the coach.

Democrats are the party of slavery, Jim Crow, and the KKK.

We clearly know who promotes racism.
