Everything we believe is a “belief system,” Seer. So is it your position, “anything that any religion in America objects to should be eliminated from the school curriculum?” It’s a simple yes/no question.Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope.

Originally posted by Sparko View PostNo. I don't think it is the place of schools to be teaching specific cultural, moral and political views at all. How would you like it if schools were controlled by conservatives and taught only things like homosexuality is an abnormality, or that conservative values are the correct ones and liberal values are immoral? Schools should remain neutral and teach reading, writing, math, science, geography. Leave moral viewpoint lessons for parents to handle.
your list. A school is a community of young, socially immature people. They fight. They call names. They steal. They ridicule. A school is constantly teaching “appropriate behavior.” It teaches the moral values of the society in which it exists. We live in a
society that mostly values respecting one another, NOT calling childish names, not undermining those who are different. Therefore, those social values are taught in schools. That includes not disrespecting LGBTQ+ people, races, religions, and so forth.
In the scenario you describe, I would not be happy in the least. But if those were the dominant norms of my society, I hope I would recognize that I do not have the right to impose my beliefs on others when I am in the minority. That leaves me with a few choices. Try to change the society. Remove my child from the influence and teach them myself or put them in a different school, or move to a different society that reflects my values.The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.

Originally posted by seer View PostI'm not making a religious argument per se. I'm saying they need to keep their ideology and twisted moral beliefs out of public schools. Again Carp, what is wrong about letting parents op out, we do it in my town, no big deal. Why the fascist tactics?
I recognize you don’t want these things taught in schools. That reality does not seem to be relevant to this particular ruling.
As for your opt-out question, it’s a matter of logistics. When a school starts supporting “opt-out” options for everything someone might object to, the logistics for managing it within the school quickly become nightmarish. Despite your language, “fascism” has nothing to do with it. Trying to manage a large school body with limited resources and strained teachers is the primary issue.Last edited by carpedm9587; 05-16-2024, 04:47 PM.The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.

Curriculum is not required to include instruction on gender identity or sexual orientation. Curriculum is not required to include instruction on consent. Parents or guardians can remove their children from sex education and STI/HIV education with written notification. This is referred to as an “opt-out” policy.https://siecus.org/stateprofiles/con...te-profile-23/Last edited by seer; 05-16-2024, 04:52 PM.Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope.

About the only place I endorse “forced” reading is when the book is the subject in question. So the text book that is the basis for a class is required reading. So a “religious studies”
course should include the texts you list. A course
on the writings of Hawthorne should feature his books. And
so forth.The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.

Originally posted by seer View PostNonsense, we have had op out provisions for sex education in grade school since the late 60s - no big deal. So you are full of crap again,and a fascist.
logistics involved. When it is an entire subject, like “sex ed”” it can be accommodated to some degree. When parents ask for the right to opt out of topics within classes, the logistics quickly grow nightmarish. The school cannot be a buffet where every parent chooses their menu items.
