The purpose of public schools is to provide a well-rounded education, and that includes math, science, language, and arts. Parents should not impose their own personal beliefs into public schools.

Of these three plays, there is nothing offensive. A very small handful of parents have a moral problem with the content of the plays, but you think they should have the right to change the curriculum simply because they are tax payers? Would you feel the same if a small group of Muslims tried the same thing? I'm betting you would not.

This type of intolerance only hurts the children's academic development. Maybe that's why only 36% of this high school's graduates scored better than the national average in the ACT test in 2003.

If these parents have a problem with it, they can form their own little Christian school and teach their own.

Maybe their isn't anything offensive in Grease to YOU but apparently their was to the parents of this school. Maybe it was the way the play was done? Maybe they are sensitive types? maybe they are hicks?...whatever...the point is: not only should parents expect standards and question what goes on in schools, but they are obligated to for their children's' sake.

Jeez, do you think the government schools should do as it pleases without any interferences from pesky parents?

This type of intolerance only hurts the children's academic development....... that is a crock...not preforming Grease is somehow hurting their SAT scores?..please.

If these parents have a problem with it, they can form their own little Christian school and teach their own...... FINALLY, this has been my point all night....let them take their tax money and form their own school. If it succeeds b/c enough kids enroll then it would be just what that community wants.

Asking for a family-friendly play is hardly the same as changing the curriculum.

If these parents have a problem with it, they can form their own little Christian school and teach their own.

The solution of course is to begin the process of completely privatizing universal K-12 education.

Your send your kids to schools that support your religious worldview. Others send their kids to schools that support theirs.

Education of the young CAN NOT be all things to all people. Government schools WILL establish the religious worldview of some and actively undermine the religious worldview of others.

Government schools are an abomination! Why? Because they can NOT ever be neutral.
