regardless of the semantics over which the two of you are arguing, you're leaving one important element out.

We should not be exposing kids to this shit at such a young age. I can't be seen as anything but indoctrination, and in most cases, this will teach tolerance and acceptance of moral beliefs that I believe the majority of families still hold sacred.

It's hard enough to be a parent and instill values in kids. It's a helluva lot harder when the idiots in the public schools are contradicting what you're teaching them.

I shouldn't have to let my adolescent be taught how wonderful these 'alternative' lifestyles are and then think it's pefectly fine for boys to wear prom dresses and use the girls room. I also wouldn't want a daughter in the same restroom as some mentally ill boy who thinks he's a girl.

When was it that 'don't ask, don't tell' became a bad idea?

I get in huge arguments with my 17YO daughter over the crap they condone in schools even here in Arizona. Schools are becoming a moral wasteland.
