So? Parents should be involved in their children’s education. Morals should be taught at home not by teachers. Our children are failing in the essentials!

These are astroturfed far-right lunatics, not actual "concerned parents"

Yes. They're an anti LGBT hate group, like the ones mysteriously popping up all over the country

If you have to look around the room and you’re not sure who the fascist is, it’s probably you

Fascism is a socioeconomic philosophy based on extreme nationalism, authoritarianism and fusion of political organization with privately owned corporations. It’s intentions are essentially the same as the Laffer curve (which has been thoroughly debunked) that if privately held companies with government direction requiring what would be forced labor would better direct the economy than capitalism, socialism, communism, etc. By taking away the rights of workers and replacing them with authoritarianism under the guise of nationalism then the economy and government would prosper. By definition you would need a scape goat and increasingly paranoid views of anyone outside of your immediate group with whom you identify. Burning books becomes natural as a way to control information and ideology.

Hence you

Seems more like the ones now in power. Lots of little brown shirts, like yourself. Curious where you cut and pasted this from. You seem misguided my little friend.

Ok. If your fascist politician wins it doesn’t make you right. It doesn’t mean you haven’t supported a fascist. It just means you helped a fascist win. Do you understand that just because you support them and they win doesn’t mean they are not fascist? It’s important that you understand that just because you agree with them that it doesn’t mean that they aren’t fascist.

We need to have children reach their full potential. Let's expand AP course offerings, and hold our students to a higher standard. Offer more mathematical courses, such as linear algebra and statistics, in high school.

I think we agree here. I'm just opposed to the culture warriors trying to censor books and restrict freedom of speech.

Statistics for sure! Not even in pursuit of academic excellence or whatever, it's just such useful, relevant, math.

Parents should be involved in their kids education. It doesn't mean they get to tell every parent what is right for their kids too or pitch a fit because the class has a trans kid or the teacher is gay or a book in the library was about a gay person.

The groups pushing these things are astroturfed right wing hate groups that recruit a few lunatics in each district to try and turn it into a wave against people they don't like. Many of the most outspoken people at school board meetings anymore don't even have kids in the school system in that district.

There need to be certain ethical and moral baselines for the funtioning of a modern, secular society, and it is the role of public education to ensure that students are able to be fully functioning members of said society.

Ok then, don't let school dictate what kids should have access to and let those parents make individual decisions for their own children and not others.

Cinema_King t1_iv9zrft wrote

Sure but seeing the things these parents are crying about their children learning I don’t think there’s much morality being taught in these homes.

mpm4q2 t1_iva0m28 wrote

Just your ideal of morals. Everyone’s are not the same.

Cinema_King t1_iva1vb2 wrote

True, my idea of morals are things like tolerance, acceptance, admitting that bad things have happened in our past, and things like that. All things that are the very antithesis of what Republicans are in favor of.
