That’s great that your daughters are not easily influenced and laugh at it all. I hope most of the other students are able to do the same.
Our children are homeschooled, and I agree with you that what is being taught in public school is just as much my business as a parent’s whose children attend. As you pointed out, as taxpayers, we’re all paying the bill.
But I admit that I don’t know what is taught in our school district anymore. When our eldest was in preschool (for a total of two months) seven years ago, the elementary school was showing a video called “Family Life” to third graders. Parents could opt their children in or out of it. But I’m completely out of touch with what’s going on now.
What does the abbreviation DOS stand for? I have to admit that I don’t know what PDA stands for, either. :-0
It’s tough to afford Catholic school tuition when you’re paying so much in property taxes. For the record, homeschooling is not as expensive as most people believe. I even know families headed by single parents or two working parents who homeschool. Most of us are not wealthy. In fact, I haven’t come across a wealthy homeschooling family, yet. Of course, homeschooling has its own set of challenges. Plus, here in NJ, I’ve come across many left-leaning homeschoolers who are very supportive of so-called “gay rights”. So, even among homeschoolers in this state, we have to be very careful about the groups we join and with whom we interact.
This whole issue is so weird. I’m always incredulous that children are being taught this stuff and that parents are accused of bigotry or extremism if they won’t allow their children to view these types of videos - it’s so absurd.
I will keep you and the families in Evesham in my thoughts and prayers.
After my last post, I realized what DOS stands for - Day of Silence. I remember reading about it here on FR. I told my husband about DOS today, and he was incredulous. We’re both so out of touch. :-)
Also, I just looked up PDA - Public Display of Affection.
