That is weird. I guess we can agree to that principle but do we need to be draconian about it? Do we need laws to make teachers focus on curriculum?
Didn't you ever read a book that wasn't prescribed by the curriculum?
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 4y agoI don't think so but it's Florida. I don't live in Florida. The majority in Florida must somehow be OK with this and it's their teachers and children. Don't take my nuance to mean that I approve of this or think it's a good idea.
- faster 4y agoWhy do you think the majority of Floridians are OK with this? Does it matter to American politicians that the majority of Americans are in favor of access to abortions? The noisy people and PACs who donate to campaigns are against it and that's all that matters.

If it's not against the law why should I care? > Does it matter to American politicians that the majority of Americans are in favor of access to abortions? Abortion is legal in my state. ¯ \ _ ( ツ ) _ / ¯
- agloeregrets 4y agoConceptually, if the government defines the teaching, at what point do the people run the government and at what point does the government run the people? Also, politics in America are way more messy than that. The choice becomes "People you agree 50% with or people you agree 20% with?". I would bet that if this were put to a statewide vote, it would not pass.
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 4y agoThe community/voters define the government and the government defines the teaching. Which entity is more in touch with the wants and needs of Florida voters: Florida's state and local governments or the federal government in Washington?
- agloeregrets 4y agoThe hiring of teachers is approved by community elected school boards. FL laws take that power from communities and puts it in State level hands. Your point is upside-down and tries to paint heavy handed big-government rules as better in fact. Also who said anything about DC? The point was about letting teachers, parents, and yes, minors; make choices for kids. This is whitewashing extremist beliefs over communities that very well may disagree, exactly what you imply this protects lol.
- epicureanideal 4y agoI wouldn’t have thought laws like this were needed, but then there are things like this: https://youtu.be/TwucVRj_mdc https://youtu.be/TwucVRj_mdc
- crooked-v 4y agoCool, but do you have any sources that haven't been produced by an organization well-known for repeated lies and fraud?
- epicureanideal 4y agoI am not familiar with them being well known for lies or fraud. Showing actual video seems like a way to avoid that. The videos seem to speak for themselves. Even if taken out of context it looks reaaaally bad.
- mrguyorama 4y agoThey are on the record as faking these videos before, as in, scripting and making them up.
- epicureanideal 4y agoCan you link some sources please, ideally from neutral organizations?
- mrguyorama 4y agoFirst, define, specifically, what you consider a neutral organization.
