Certainly one solution is to pull your child out of the public schools, but not all parents can afford to.

Furthermore, why should he have to do so? He pays his property taxes, which support the public schools. Why should he be persecuted in this way for trying to prevent his son from homosexual brainwashing?

Most schools permit parents to opt their kids out of sex-ed classes, because they realize that these classes can be controversial and they prefer to avoid controversy. Surely the same applies in this case.

It might be better to fight back against this political madness in our schools, rather than pull out, as long as we are paying large tax bills to support these schools.

I agree. This man is performing a public service by publicizing the homosexual agenda in a public elementary school. These educrats know that the vast majority of parents, especially minority parents, don't want their children exposed to this nonsense, and so they want a captive audience with no dissent allowed.

Ah, a good question. The Dad in question does indeed pay, but he has no choice about the matter. Whether the school offers superior education or crime and STD-ridden schools, whether the Dad puts his child in the school or takes him out, he pays and so does everyone else.

The schools continue to gobble up our money with no real danger of being de-funded provided they keep the lights on and the district out of total bankruptcy. Even them they'll probably be bailed out.

What is needed, nationwide, is for parents to demand the right to be reimbursed for their school taxes if they take their kids out of school. Not a good chance of that happening, LOL.

In MA, the option for parent to opt out, is the law.

Currently there is a bill in the legislature to afford parents more rights, by requiring them to "opt in" instead. This would prevent any child who doesn't have a parental consent signed, from attending any such teaching.

Needless to say, it hasn't come up for a vote, and the left wing kooks don't want it to be voted on.
