New polling shows national Republicans and Iowa Republican caucusgoers were more interested in “law and order” than battling “woke” schools, media and corporations.

what about the parents that want their kids to learn the facts so that they have some empathy for their peers that are lgbtq+ or learn that they are ok being lgbtq+?

what about the parents that want their kids to learn the facts

Then ya know....the parents should teach their kids that. It's not schools responsibility to push social ideologies, it's their jobs to help kids learn basic studies like math and reading.

How is learning something exists having it pushed on you?

[–] MasterObee@lemmy.world -4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

exist

Nobody is questioning existence, we just don't care for it being pushed at schools.

If I want my kid to learn solely about MAGA ideologies, should that be forced on every other kid in their class? Or, should I take some responsibility and teach my kids that myself?

Being gay or trans etc. is not an "ideology" wow

[–] MasterObee@lemmy.world -4 points 1 year ago

Agreed, but that's not my argument.

kids are gonna learn these things regardless, especially these days. its best to help them rather than hinder them. the ones that are lgbtq+ need to know they are fine and its ok for them to be who they are.

kids are gonna learn these things regardless,

Why? Why not let kids learn about society by...ya know, being part of society. Over representing these issues in schools despite parents wanting schools to focus on education that helps the students future is just the government pushing their own values. That's what we don't want, the government just taking our kids and pushing their morals, that's literally what indian boarding schools were about.

its best to help them rather than hinder them.

How is telling kindergartners that they should cross dress helpful to our society?

the ones that are lgbtq+ need to know they are fine

Okay, so on day 1 teachers can say 'hey if you aren't straight or question gender, you're fine' then you'd be okay with it if the teachers never talked about sexuality and gender for the rest of the year?

its ok for them to be who they are.

Why shouldn't the teachers be telling young christian boys it's okay for them to be who they are?
