    The homosexual and lesbian lifestyle, without outside intervention, is a death of civilization lifestyle.

    I can remember distinctly the homosexual community, decades ago, telling us that oh no, we won’t allow this to be in our high school or our grade school classrooms...just in our college classrooms.

    Now, it‘s in high school, middle school and grammar school.

    It was “incrementalism” at its worst and a lie.

    The morality of sexuality should not be taught at any primary school level and only the biology of sexuality should be taught at the high school level.

    The morality of any subject is the preview of the PARENTS.

    I am being serious. I don't understand the logic of denying a book about internment camps because it doesn't present "both sides".

    I would love to understand the rational for this. Please!

    There is no "both sides" to internment camps. There is racist fear leading to American Citizens being locked up and there is the victims of racist fear.

    Did/can you read my post., ‘With your twisted logic, historical books about “justified slavery” are just fine to be taught to young school children.’

    Teaching just one side of an issue is unacceptable at any grade level.

    The ultra liberal, FDR authorized the internment and he was right.

    It and the atomic bomb saved lives, one of whom was my brother and hundreds of thousands of American soldiers’ lives, if we had to invade Japan.

    Some makes me nervous. Usually that means a minimal amount. Usually used to scare and divide. However, it does negate the "no it is not" narrative.

    I have to wonder how that school board approaches other issues. Do they maintain that there is a god? Or do they make it clear the choice of whether to believe or not is up to each individual.

    How do they handle issues like Climate Change, The Civil War, Gay Rights, and racism?

    Do they allow our real black history to be taught?

    How about what was done to the indigenous people of America as Europeans moved in?

    Do they still go with the 'Columbus discovered America' thing?

    Maybe they think Cortez was a hero...

    A provision in the law also requires school staff members to alert parents about “critical decisions affecting a student’s mental, emotional, or physical health or well-being,” which many advocates have interpreted as a way to force educators to out their gay or trans students. When teachers “believe that disclosure would result in abuse, abandonment, or neglect,” they are exempt from doing so.
    advocates not the law
    Orange County Classroom Teachers Association accused school officials Monday of verbally warning educators not to wear rainbow articles of clothing and to remove pictures of their same-sex spouses from their desks and LGBTQ safe space stickers from classroom doors. The district’s legal department confirmed in a statement provided to the teachers’ association, which covers the Orlando area, that staff members who come into contact with students in kindergarten through third grade were cautioned about LGBTQ issues.
    im in Orange county Fl..
    extreme Democratic and liberal..but sill this is what their legal dept warned - again not the law
    (per your link)

    This was a world war against Japan/Axis powers
    Yes there are "2 sides: the worry was Japanese might be collaborators.

    Looking back you can scream "racist" -at the time it was a national security concern
    which is why both sides need to be taught -you can still call it racist, but you learn there was a non-racist motive

    No it isn’t racism.

    We were in a world war. Our country was not guaranteed a win.

    The ultra liberal, FDR, put this policy in effect under world wartime conditions.

    He was right, it saved lives and possibly the war and it was not racism.
