LGBTQ rights advocates are pushing back against the Texas Board of Education's recent rejection of a proposed curriculum to teach middle school and high school students about gender identity and sexual orientation. The Republican-dominated board rejected a batch of proposed curriculum changes last week, striking down mandates to require students to learn about the differences between gender identity and sexual orientation as well as a proposal to teach middle schoolers about consent. The board is expected to take a final vote on any changes in the sexual education curriculum in November.

Dare we hope the tide is turning?

Because if we don't get the schools back, Trump is just a speed-bump on the road to Hell.

I wish they would start arresting the people pushing this propaganda and grooming children. There are laws against that.

Some proponents of the changes called the rejection "especially tragic" as research shows that most LGBTQ students don't feel safe at school because of harassment and bullying.

This is always one of their excuses. The homosexuals are usually the bullies. They use polls to continue pushing their lies.

They are children and don’t need to learn about this mess. Nor will they have to spend the rest of their lives living a false sense of sex.

I have not seen a single Biden sign where I live. But I went into the belly of the beast the other day (downtown Dallas) and they are everywhere. Same with BLM crap.
