Don't teachers prepare lesson plans prior to the beginning of the school year or recycle the same year after year? Why couldn't those along with book lists be publicly available and say over the summer be open for a review/approval process for the parents of the class? I'm advocating for the parents to have the opportunity to be more involved in the process of determining what their children learn. That can be done in a manner that is transparent and efficient for all involved without causing undue burden on the teachers.

The institutions teach at the behest of the parents. Parents should have oversight of what the teachers are teaching. That way they can either keep material they feel is inappropriate away from the children or be aware enough to remove their children from the material if they are in the minority of opinion.

There needs to be a system where parents should have to vote on what books are in the school library with a low threshold for what's removed. Say if 30% vote against it the books should be removed.

I think the root of this problem is the lack of parental involvement in their kids education in the first place. As a society we've off loaded too much of our children's learning to institutions.

So then, by your own logic, schools shouldn't be allowed to remove the bible or books that teach that the world was created 2000 years ago or whatever the hell it is that young earth Christians believe.

The people telling a government institution not to do a thing is the opposite of a nanny state.

The article describes the book Genderqueer as having a scene with a dildo blow job. It totally exists.

Though I'm not a fan of public schools, if parents have to send their kids to a school they should be able to do so without the worry of their children being exposed to sexual material they aren't ready for. It's not a nanny state, it's holding the government accountable and telling them what they can and can't do.

And the people that did that 1, should be and are in jail for a call to violence, and 2 went against Trump's call to make their voices peacefully heard. Like I said there were plenty of morons there, and the ones that were violent should be charged. It still doesn't make it a coup, or an actual insurrection. It was stupid people protesting in a stupid way. That's it. We need to move on and stop building a circus around nonsense.

Bro if you think the President, who is in charge of the entirety of the US armed forces, is going to start a coup with a bunch of grandmother's wandering around and waving little American flags then there is no helping you. I'm sorry this broken political environment has damaged your ability to process reality so severely. It isn't that bad.

They bring it up because the Dems make January 6th out to be the worst thing to happen to American democracy ever. The BLM and Antifa riots cost billions in damages and cost the lives of at least 2 dozen people which is ignored when it's politically expedient. The only person that died on January 6th was one of the protestors that was in the capital.

You guys need to let January 6th go. A bunch of morons shuffling about a federal building is not an insurrection, it's a bunch of morons shuffling about. We all agree that the people who caused violence and property damage should be prosecuted. But ultimately people have the right to protest, even if you disagree with them. Move on.
