Yeah, again, more nonsense.
They claim the bill doesn't mention "gay" but it says sexual orientation and gender identity can't be discussed at all in K-3. See, I know Sigmund Freud is out of favor these days (and not for bad reason), but he was right about one thing. As much as we try and shelter children from these questions and tell them babies come from storks, even before puberty they have questions. "Teacher, why does Heather have two mommies?" And now teachers are forbidden from answering.
All this bill does is prevent teachers from discussing and answering.
Yes the district gets sued by some undereducated, propagandized Heritage Foundation parent if they answer.
Public schools and other public institutions stopped catering solely to conservative white paranoia 70s years ago. The openly stated goal of anti-CRT/anti-LGBTQ in schools is simply manipulating dummkopfs like Glennfs into supporting this legislation that targets minority families with the strategy of suing public schools out of existence to get back at them for including all public school students.
Since 1954, they have never gotten over the government forcing them to do so, at least on paper.
And again, to be clear, what are they protecting children from?
Children need to be protected from conservative Christians and their violent nationalism, including the Vatican, conservative Evangelicalism, and politicized Christian Orthodoxy in the US. Those are the people backing these antihomo bills. No other religions; not even the whackodoodle rightwing Islamists or rightwing whackodoodle frum, neither of which have anywhere near the numbers of these vicious conservative Christians.
Even with that, not even the rightwing whackodoodle self-loathing not-white conservative Christians have anywhere near the sheer numbers of conservative Christian whites, be they as they may in solidarity with them, and trying to impress them.
Conservative-Christian whites, especially the men, are the biggest predators in town. They have been, since the slavery era.
Teachers were not showing graphic sex technique diagrams in 3rd grade, nor were they "grooming" any children. But look, research increasingly shows if children are, let's say, "gender-nonconforming," they start having these feelings and impressions early, and of course, now school adults and teachers can't discuss them, and if they haven't told their parents, the law forces the school to tell them. This is wrong.
It's wrong, and this is also the same old violent public policy these confederates and colonizers have been pulling for
centuries.
