The author himself said that he's afraid children being exposed to sexual identity is creating more LGBTQ+ children (not a direct quote, but close enough to what he said). So he wants to eliminate any discussion of it in schools...it's flawed logic at it's finest because kids are going to be kids. They're going to talk about things their parents don't want them to when their parents aren't around. NOTHING adults do will change that. There are kids who have 2 moms or 2 dads. There are kids who have gay siblings, etc. Pretending that the LGBTQ+ community doesn't exist does nothing but cause harm.I think we all can agree we want our teachers instructing our kids properly, on the subjects we need them taught. We don’t want them sharing their politics, we don’t want them sharing their religion, and we want all of these discussions if they come up to be treated appropriately based on the age of the children.
But again, I believe this is already the case. There may be a few teachers who have gone rogue, but I don’t see why this bill would be necessary to address it. That’s what makes the bill more suspect.
It only targets a specific sector of people, which says more the enough about its true intent.
The fact that the bill requires teachers to out LGBTQ+ students to their parents regardless of possible abuse makes clear the intent of the bill, IMO.
No. Those laws to ensure parental rights are already in existence - I have hundreds of copies of them in my possession as I'm given a new one at every school meeting. Don't fall for the attempts these people are making to disguise what this is. Please see my comment above - I've seen the video of the bill's author openly saying that he's afraid schools are creating more LGBTQ+ kids and that's why he wrote the bill.The entire reasoning for this bill rests on a Godwin's argument.
Just letting you know, schools have their own agenda (fought and settled a Federal ADA case a few years ago). Bills like this make sure that parents -- that want to be -- are involved in their child's education. To say I have an agenda of putting God in school shows that you weren't reading what I typed. That's not AT ALL what I said. It's OK for you to not like the bill. However, I see it as way to say, Hands Off My kid. I hope you or your child never has to go through what we did.
