Are you saying this from a position of being a parent? Rhetorical question.
If I’m not mistaken, your implication is that material should be taught to kids regardless of parental input.
It’s in everyone’s best interest to keep the state out of matters such as these. This is precisely what history has taught us. It’s not this exact matter, it’s what such a move would do for future iterations. Lines should not be blurred in matters such as these.
A simple example is a school teaching creationism vs evolution. You can take your argument and swap the material. What if the local government enforced creationism, and barred evolutionary material?
- denton-scratch 4y agoI am a parent; both of my kids are grown-up, and I have grandchildren. I'm not keen on any kind of government interfering with school curricula. What is tsaught, and how it is taught, are matters that should be decided by professional educators. The job of a politician is primarily to influence the public's views, and they won't do the right thing if they get their hands on the levers controlling education.
