Parents who disagree with any “materials related to gender, gender identity, gender expression and sexual orientation may not excuse their children from this instruction,” Wenkart added. He also cited judicial precedent for the decision.

“Parents do not have a constitutional right to excuse their children from portions of the school curriculum that they find objectionable,” he continued.

The state-approved “tool kit” for the course includes topics about lubricants, anal sex and sex toys.

“What if you don’t have time or money to buy sex toys?” the guide reads on page C-51. “Cucumbers, carrots, and bananas (with the peel) make great dildos. Just remember to use a condom!”

Un - they actually do have a constitutional right to pull their children from school for objectionable material.

I would say “oh yes I can”. And my kid would leave with me.

California School District Says Parents Can’t Pull Kids Out Of New LGBT Sex Ed Class

Another stupid, clueless, pervert School Board in urgent need of total replacement!!

That's illegal, morons!
Does that board have an attorney and a very high "you are being sued" insurance?
Do the individual board members?

GOOD LUCK!

[Myrddin]

My kid would be absent. Calls from the school would get a big SCREW YOU. Fortunately, mine are all raised. The youngest is 30. Oldest (living) is 35. All out of CA.

Sounds more like TRAINING than education.

[eyeamok]

I say we make it MANDATORY for ALL Private Schools too then, watch how fast this crap stops

[maine-iac7]

do they add the horenedous accounts given by doctors who have to remove/correct the damage done by this practice?

This is worse, I’m thinking, than Sodom and Gomora

This is child abuse, to start with

I would pack my kids up and leave the state - indeed, that’s just what I did - 38 years ago - when my youngest was entering school.

I packed up and drove back to Maine - had her in a Christian school until they closed as she was going into 10th grade... and don’t tell me it can’t be done because of money/job etc.

The three things on the line were: Job. Money. Daughter.

I chose daughter. Arrived in Maine with a few dollar and no job. But we made it.

And how many parents will complain but ultimately comply? If enough parents pulled their kids out of the government schools, the school officials would have to take notice. Sadly, public ed is really subsidized babysitting with a heaping side of leftist propaganda.

The law also gives parents the ability to opt-out of this education and said that the “pupil” shall not be punished academically in any way if they don’t participate.

This was also in the article.

[a fool in paradise]

Time was it was CRIMINAL to sell adult sex novelties to minors.

F California and the NEA. Bunch of lousy pederasts.

[VeniVidiVici]

Does the law allow parents to “opt-in” and monitor the class?

[sergeantdave]

“A California school district says that parents can’t opt out of a new sex education course...”

I’d guess that if one of these school district Nazis is dragged into the street and hanged from a lamppost, the others will run for the hills and not be seen or heard from - forever.

[Crucial]

Perhaps it is time to homeschool or just leave California. That state is not worth ruining your children.

[Lean-Right]

The kids are worried about getting shot? I'd be far more worried about this. This is down-right disgusting. I'll not apologize for feeling like one of these: ho·mo·phobe ˈhōməˌfōb/Submit noun a person with an extreme and irrational aversion to homosexuality and homosexual people. They've gone so far as to say my beliefs are "irrational".

...to promote “healthy attitudes” about “gender [and] sexual orientation.”

More like:

to promote “healthy attitudes” about unhealthy lifestyles.”....

[MayflowerMadam]

“The law also gives parents the ability to opt-out of this education”

What am I missing? Title says no opt out, but third paragraph says there is the ability to opt out.

Either way: Homeschool.

We no longer have public schools...we have public indoctrination centers. Goebbels would have been proud to see his efforts are still alive and kicking.

[Thibodeaux]

The school district didn’t say anything

An agent of the district issued the edict.......... burn her house
