      There’s a big difference between “this isn’t part of the curriculum” and “using someone’s preferred pronouns gets you fired/expelled”. Florida has shown us that it’s the second one they’re putting in place.

      Because it exists in the real world real people end up in after they leave school. If they aren’t learning about the world school is a waste of taxpayer money.

      Take my money. Teach the kids. So I don’t end up surrounded by even dumber people.

            because it’s a part of life that exists

            Interesting reasoning. Wouldn’t this make it so that anything is acceptable?

              Allowing people to exist is quite a bit different than a curriculum. There is no “trans 101” lesson, this is about censoring people’s identities. This is about punishment, not education.

              You’re being obtuse, and we’re all aware of that. We know exactly where you stand. Just say you hate people that are different from you and want them to not exist or be hurt because of it, we know that’s the only point you’re trying to make.

                  It would not, as basic logic is allowed to come into play rather just assuming that allowing trans people to exist extends to whatever the fuck you’re implying will come of it.

                  Just say it.

      What happens when a kid talks about their trans parent? What about trans kids?

      You don’t think everyone’s just born cis then DECIDES to become trans later on do you?

      Because it helps trans kids greatly to know that what they’re feeling is okay, that they aren’t alone in this and that there are solutions available.

      Of course, a topic like this needs to be introduced very carefully. Though this entire discussion is pointless at the moment, because American education system is worthless and serves no real purpose, so it’d never get done right anyway.

      It’s not that should be learning about it, but they should learn that it exists, and they should be learning tolerance and acceptance for ALL people.

      “Logic” like yours is why we need freedom of speech.

      We can’t have people like you deciding what others get to see, say, or think

        Since teachers are paid for with our tax dollars, laws are required to ensure they do the job properly.
