Teachers have a responsibility to teach the three "R's"... not political indoctrination or topics which conflict with other people's religion.
Why does Johnny have two dad's?

Well, Billy, because they love each other and are a family just like your mom and dad. In Florida, saying that is about to be illegal. That's not indoctrination. That's just a fact. There is nothing politically motivated or anti-religious about it. It just is and pretending like it isn't is the problem.
if you want to learn that the world is 6000 years old or that men marrying men should be illegal, you are free to put your kids in private religious schools.

I don't. I just want educators (K-12) to steer very clear of remotely politically sensitive topics. Two dads is one thing... woke BS is another. My buddy's teen daughter got badly virtue shamed at school because her dad's a pilot... Teach has a picture of Greta on the wall.

Too many modern educators are extremists (easy and fun when you're a tenured .gov employee and won't suffer any consequences).

There are certainly some bad educators out there but extremists? That's a bit inflammatory. I had teachers who prayed before class. It's on both ends of the spectrum.

I find it very hard to believe a teen girl was "virtue shamed" based on what her dad does. What does that even mean? And if they did, what did the school board do? That's clearly unacceptable behavior. And that's coming from someone who thinks we need to do way more to combat greenhouse gas emissions.

I think you need to update your LGBT acronym. You're using an old version from like 2015 or earlier. The current one contains the entire alphabet and some numerical operators added for good measure.

Have you always been such a devout supporter of teaching kids in 3rd grade that they might be homosexual or need surgery to change genders, or is it just one of the current things to support?

FWIW All I remember from 3rd grade is that girls were gross and had cooties. The girls thought the same thing about the boys. Probably about the worst thing that could happen would be if you suddenly became the other gender. That's the natural order at that age. Sex was an unknown thing. Children aren't developed to even be thinking about sex at that age.

First off, I just want to announce that my pronouns are get/f*cked

Secondly, I have no idea who you are but please feel free to setup your primary residence in a state that more accurately aligns with your political views. We will be just fine here in Florida.

Also, Johhny doesn't only have two dads. Clearly there was a woman involved *gasp* at some point in the process.

So, you are cool with public school teachers that are not teaching that it is ok to be gay also then right? You are cool with public school teachers telling k-3 that anyone who is gay is an abomination in the eyes of god and that all transgenders are mentally ill and should be put into an insane asylum? Then when they are done with that they can go outback and shoot some guns? Or how about if they become more progressive and now tell the students that love between a grown up and child is still love and shouldn't be stifled by telling your parents. Then if you don't think this way you are an anti MBLA and you will be shunned and canceled on twitter, facebook and every other form of media while also being harassed at work. Then if you don't like what is being tough you can take your children and put them in a private school where they can learn that if a dad believes hard enough, makes three wishes on a star and pick a four leaf clover he can become your mommy.

Funny thing is the bill in Florida also bans these things from being discussed with children at such a young age. Because while you may be on board with indoctrinating k-3 children with the stuff you agree with. Someday you will find them discussing something you don't agree with and it will be too late. The vast majority of people believe teachers should be left to teaching reading, writing and arithmetic to children this young because politics will change but fundamentals will remain the same.

Liberals don't want to regulate speech. They want to limit indoctrination at the hands of the government. The correct response from a teacher would be, "Why don't you ask your parents that question. Now, back to algebra."
