They think your kids belong to them.
In my home of Montgomery County, Md., parents just received a notice from the public school system.
MCPS’s email declared, “Parents and students may not choose to opt-out of engaging with any instructional materials, other than ‘Family Life and Human Sexuality Unit of Instruction’ which is specifically permitted by Maryland law.
As such, teachers will not send home letters to inform families when inclusive books are read in the future.”
The school district is infusing books about gender and sexuality into the curriculum starting in kindergarten, and parents not only can’t opt out; they won’t even get a heads-up from the school about what their kids are learning.
