You are wrong, yes. Go to www.article8.org, where you will find that very answer, as told to the superintendent. The law in MA most certainly allow for parents to opt out of discussions and teaching materials. Which is what Ash was told, he however, is taking the matter into his own hands, against the law.

I don't see on that site, where it says what the law actually says. Newspaper reports have said that it is discussions of sex that you can opt out of. I hope to goodness they are even teaching sex to kindergardeners.

But again, I favor banning all diversity training from public schools although I don't see how you can stretch diversity to mean sex ed. Nor do i see how you can say that talking about who lives together in a family to be sex either.

That would be a horrible precedent because it would define the mention of any traditional family to be sex.
