That's a pathetic attitude.

This is not about me. Keep your inane insults to yourself, and I will be happy to discuss this rationally.

You seem more concerned with Robert's Rules of Order than the fact that the school was corrupting the morals of a minor.

Mr. Parker had every right to express his concerns over the book. He did so, and when he could not get the satisfaction he wanted, he should then have gone to the school board, and then file his lawsuit. That is the way most civilized parents handle such issues.

Parker though thought that getting himself arrested was more important than following through on his goal of getting an agreement not to present such materials to his child.

Parker knew what he was going to do, and given his demand that no discussion take place on same sex anything, of course the school could not agree to that, even though they assured him that no sexual formal discussions were on the agenda for the early grades. Parker knew all that.

When he got himself arrested, he left his child in the school to be the center of ridicule and scorn. Parker didn't give a damn about his son, but only his crusade. As one Freeper who like you believes Parker can do no wrong said, "There are casualties in every war".

Let's not forget that the perpetrator of the crime was the teacher/school/super/school committe, not the parent. Parker's reaction was remarkably restrained.

First, there was no crime committed except by Parker which led to his requested arrest, and second, as I said, if Parker really wanted to get the books out of the school, he knew he had several legitimate options that did not involve putting his son in the center of things on his own.

I would say that here you mischaracterize Mr Parker's demands -his demands were simple -he requested the opt out that is law be made available to him and this demand only involved his children. Parents not government decide values taught thier children..

As much as you may not realize it anything homosexual is disordered and a majority of people do not want anything homosexual to be taught as normal to their children...

Discussing graphically specific sex acts is but one extreme aspect of all the aspects of homosexual disorder not to be discussed and normalized by educators unless parents allow it.
