No,no,no,no! It is up to parents to set curriculum through their elected Board Members. If the Board Members don't aquiesce to the desires of the parents, throw their asses out!
Yes, you're right. But the school board also answers to the State.
You're right also that parents should be more involved, or involved enough to know every single person (trustee) on the board, and kick out the ones who keep trying to promote this gay agenda, and other lefty touchy feely agenda's. Point out those who have a gay agenda, through community papers, or run for trustee themselves. (the pay isn't bad these days either!)
The school board is a level of government that most people don't realize is there most of the time, except when they see the school tax hikes on their property tax bill.
Still, the school board must answer to the state, and the state to the federal education boards. preasure can be brought to bear from those levels of government as well.

ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!
And apathetic parents who abandon their kids to the public schools and just assume "it can't happen here" are going to be in for a rude awakening. Parents should be ALL OVER their kids' campuses, volunteering as monitors, chaperones, etc. It is AMAZING what one parent in a classroom can help make sure the teacher stays on their 'WRITTEN' lesson plan. It is AMAZING what one parent with a notepad or a camera can do re: a healthy 'chilling' effect on extracurricular recruiting by the perverts mingled among the many excellent teachers. Dobson advocates pulling kids out of public schools--I say, SEND THE PARENTS IN and FReep the campuses!
