I thought this was what homeschooling was for.
So is your position that if a parent doesn't like what is being taught in a government school or how a government school is being run, they should keep quiet and not try to change what is being taught? They should just homeschool or send their child to a private school?
Is your position that people who are trained to set a curriculum, supervised by other people with similar training, and evaluated based on student performance on standardized tests should throw said curriculum in the garbage and let some angry assholes rewrite it because they saw something about critical race theory on Fox News?
No, it's not. I couldn't imagine sending my kids to a government school, and do not do so, because I do not agree with what is being taught in government schools. I don't think anybody should be complaining about what is being taught in government schools. If you don't like it, then leave. But for me, that applies to ALL parents over ALL issues with what is being taught in government schools.
That's kind of my point, if you don't like it then homeschool or go private.
These clowns won't take their kids out but are demanding that the schools/teacher bend over backwards for them.
Anecdote, friend's student's chose ANY book they liked across any genre. Kid went out of town for a week. Kid comes back and parent didn't approve of the book the kid checked out, kid did not do assignment per parent directive.
Parent want's reading lists from teacher/librarian that they ok ahead of time for their kid to read so this doesn't happen again.
I think that's bush league of the parent.
