    Well, then you seem to agree with the law in Florida. Though they say 3rd grade rather than 5th.

    I agree with you, here. 5th grade and up it would likely be fine.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
    - -- Aristotle

    Correct. We do not accept a world where perversion is celebrated.

    It seems to me that keeping anything with LGBTQ themes out of all classrooms would result in some real blind spots in people's educations. Heck, even a fair amount of Shakespeare would be off limits if we ruled out LGBTQ themes. He's got a bunch of love sonnets written to a man, and at at least seven plays with cross-dressing. Classical lit also has plenty of cross-dressing and homosexuality. Achilles, in addition to being the greatest warrior of his age, was also a cross-dresser in love with Patroclus.
    Yes, children of that age have some notion of their gender. Boys are boys and girls are girls. It's that simple a 5 year old can tell the difference.
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    I disagree. 5th. grade is 10 yrs. old. Not only too young, but that shit shouldn't be taught in any school. Period. Learn fucking math!

    I see it more and more everyday. They forced their woke bullshit on people when they were vulnerable and caged like animals, during the pandemic. Now that things are getting back to normal, people are finally saying "fuck that."

    Indeed.

    Parents have the responsibility to teach the morality of all issues, not teachers.

    You assholes are not a majority...and never will be. And you are far from "silent." You assholes shout out your ignorance and hatred about as loudly as possible.
