Big deal. Folks showed up to a meeting and had their say. So what? That’s not progress. That’s just feeling good about having your say. Let us know when something really changes for the good. THAT would be progress.
In the town we lived in at one time there was a sex ed in health curriculum issue that came up. People showed up to BOE meetings in droves for months, they brought in expert testimony to show how harmful this was going to be to the kids, the school superintendent advised the school board NOT to vote it in and you know what happened?
The board did it anyway. And come election time the following year, the same guys were voted back in again. It died without a whimper.
That cemented our decision to homeschool.
Nothing is going to change. You will not fix the system. And sadly, your kids will be affected by this.
Sending children into schools that teach this kind of stuff is child abuse, plain and simple.
That doesn’t mean we have to put up with it in Montana. Sorry for your experience, but the parents in Helena aren’t going to quit working against this curriculum just because the school board in your former community pushed their agenda through.
My California grandkids have been homeschooled all their lives. My Helena grandkids will be moving to a private school this fall.
But that still leaves a lot of little kids in the hands of the public school system. Should we just not give a hoot about them? Sorry, but that isn’t a solution.
I appear to have ticked you off on a couple of threads. Wanna truce?
