No

Any more questions?

" Will you acknowledge that there are appropriate reasons to teach K-3 students about same-sex marriage?

#282 | POSTED BY TRUTHHURTS AT 2023-01-30 03:18 PM | FLAG: "

I can't think of a reason to introduce it as subject matter in K-3.

It falls into the category of "age appropriate".

" I take it you agree that a parent should not have the right to sue when their 17 year old senior in HS is taught about same-sex marriag.

We live in a lefty created litigious society. Before this law was passed a parent could sue a teacher and school for just about anything.

The suit is more difficult if law prohibits teaching that concept to HS juniors and seniors.

" That is a non-sequitor. Why should a teacher be "allies" with a regressive, bigot, when teaching a child?

So, parents are regressive bigots? Is it all of them or just most of them?

During parent/ teacher conferences what do you think is discussed between parents and the Algebra II teacher?

#273. There you go again.

The words "age appropriate" are a lie?

" The issue is with pretending there's some sort of broad conspiracy among teachers ... "

Among teachers? No. Teachers don't set the curriculum.

#271. I don't dispute anything you said in that post. So, given that I'm in agreement with your explanation if I'm lying then you are too.

Teachers and parents should, for the most part, be allies.

Is that statement false?

Three paragraphs of keystrokes and you said absolutely nothing. Nice work!

#263. I agree with both #1 and #2, Joe.

All you did was unwittingly (and you will probably be horribly pissed at yourself for having done so) cement my point that "age appropriate" is a real and long established concept that has long been employed. Some quibbling at the margins notwithstanding over the past several decades general consensus has existed as to "age appropriate topics".

How is it nonsensical crap?

You are big on emotion and anger. Try, for once, to set it aside and make a cogent argument, keeping in mind the age group we are talking about is 3rd grade and younger.

"" age appropriate" is obvious bullshit."

It is? How so?

" Your "age appropriate" is the same as everyone else's?

Obviously not. Having said that do you (and others) even support the notion of "age appropriate"?

Any issue with screening "12 Years a Slave" in first grade? How about "Faces of Death"?

"Clockwork Orange"?

"Age appropriate". Enough said.

Yes, if it's not prohibited.

#237. Why would a first grade teacher broach the subject of gay or hetero sexuality?

For the nth time, is the concept of "age appropriate" completely lost on the left?

When I was in school teaching about the birds and the bees occurred in 6th grade and my parents had to sign a permission slip in order for me to participate.

" Oh my god this is so stupid it hurts. The only "press" "speculating" that the glass was broken from inside the house ... "

What I said was the press reported that broken glass was out side the house. That tidbit lead to speculation by some that the glass was broken from inside the house.

Bottom line is the news reporting, especially early on was all over the place and mostly inaccurate. The inaccuracies fueled the conspiracy theories.

" If DingDong had critical thinking skills he would have already asked himself why Floriduh legislators felt the need to pass a law that wasn't needed"

Clearly it is needed. That's why the left freaked out and promoted the false label "don't say gay."

#233. I don't lie. I am sometimes guilty of drive by blogging which results from shooting from the hip. The result sometimes is mistakes are made. If I'm shown to get something wrong I freely admit it and retract.

The word "lie" is way over used on this site. A lie is deliberately promoting a falsehood with the intent to deceive. I try to be very careful when reciting something from memory. That's why I use phrases like "I recall ".

I-12 curriculum is, I believe, typically set at the state level. So if the state of Florida decides that it wants to prohibit the indoctrination of children into becoming racists ... . I certainly agree as a matter of policy. Perhaps I'm ignorant on education curriculum hierarchy? Did the state government usurp powers not from locallities?

The post of mine you quoted was on a different topic. Or, I might have been drunk blogging.

Is the concept of "age appropriate" completely lost on you lefties?

Why in the world are you all so determined that sexuality and the concept of gender fluidity be thrust upon first graders?
