Public school systems in Lexington, Massachusetts, have been teaching "diversity training" despite the protests of parents. When the case went to court, lawyers for the public schools argued:
The court case is the result of parents trying to stop forced teaching of homosexuality in schools. Parents were not informed, or allowed to opt out their children. For example, a fairy tale, “King and King,” was read to one parent’s 7-year-old son as part of a class on weddings. In the story, a prince turns away one beautiful princess after another and eventually falls in love with another prince. The princes marry, kiss and live happily ever after. Bottom line: The school district is saying if you send your kids to public school "diversity training" (i.e., political advocacy/indoctrination) must be taught and parents give up their right to morally object. |
