Sorry, you still missed the point. Our kids, your kids, and their kids are being marketed to through the whole system.
The NEA has been working on this for many, many years. In order to do this they keep out what they consider what is not education, and only put in what they approve. You and I are part of the educational system and we are accountable for what they learn and do not learn. And they must have a balance in all things. Free choices and free gifts is not marketing. Those things are related to school and to education.

I’m not really sure what business classes you took in college but yes, free gifts are marketing.

And I don’t want my children offered them without me.

The NEA is a different problem, but one that must also be addressed.

However I think you're missing the point.

On what basis do you advocate public schools "marketing choices" in matters of faith? Is that part of their mandate?

Do you also advocate "marketing choices" in matters of sexuality? Should it be limited to High School, or should we allow NAMBLA to "market choice" in middle schools?
