In the real world, the parents who objected to this would simply take their kids out and find another school.

The market would decide if this school stayed open.

It just occurred to me that many parents remain willfully ignorant of what goes on in their schools BECAUSE they think they have no choice. Better to whistle past the graveyard and hope for the best rather than to dig and find out.

Since there ARE parents who think this stuff is OK (I would assume that some of the faculty are parents themselves), I wonder how this school wouild fare in a free marketplace.

Alas, we'll never find out.

By now we should have learned that what parents want for their children is not important to the public school dictators. They are the ones forcing homosexuality onto children as being normal and an alternative lifestyle. Porn goes right along with it. The US will continue to be destroyed from within.

Yeah, they worry about the kids "socialization". That's the point. Our local public library requires parental permission to use their computer. When I found out that there was NOTHING to block what they might be exposed to, I refused to sign. Told my kids they didn't need to use it that bad. At least, here in the small town we live in, the librarians were sympathetic and agreed but their hands are tied. There's nothing they can do about it. How hypocrital is the ALA anyway? Didn't we just have "Banned Books Week"?

It's So Amazing, intended for children in kindergarten through the fourth grade, deals with a wide range of sexual issues. It's Perfectly Normal, designed for third through sixth graders, includes cartoon drawings of a couple having sex, of homosexual relationships, and of a boy masturbating.

Oh, is that all?

And some here go apoplectic when parents question the content of their children's text books and library books.

Some think that school libraries should just stock whatever and that parents should lump it.

Homeschool bump

[television is just wrong]

(sarcasm) A little pornography is great, just no mention of God there, We cannot have any morals brewing!!

[opticks]

"Masterson also informed his readers that it was Laurie Taylor who had asked the Fayetteville school district why Christmas had been left off of the 2004 elementary public school calendar, while Kwanzaa, Ramadan, and Hanukkah were listed."

Does this kind of stuff really happen or is it a case of incompetance?

Happy Homeschooler BTTT!

later FOR SURE read/pingout.

**Is the School Library Safe?**

Does it have a copy of the historical book, "The Holy Bible" on its shelves?

[Gal.5:1]

When Mrs. Taylor suggested that parents might decide to "opt out" their children from school libraries,
--
We, as parents, have decided to "opt out" our children of public education altogether.

...and matters of heterosexual technique.

Keep those kids away from the Discovery Channel!

At one of my former schools, I'd almost prefer if they were reading smut. At least they'd be reading, rather than looking at photo-magazines with the same content, videotaping their own sex acts, or getting caught performing sex acts within the school building.

It's no surprise that any educational entity refuses to listen to parents... or teachers for that matter. Usually, the only things that will ever prompt them to change their stands are either intense public scrutiny, or credible threats to their budgets.
