In your opinion, why do you think this is true?
Aren’t most school boards not appointed and are just general voted in public representatives?

politicians are voted in by people as well. power corrupts…
Many years ago, the American public decided money was more important than their children. They decided to let someone else raise their kids while they made money.

So true.
But aren’t most school boards open to anybody who wants run and campaign to be a member?

Yes, but for some reason they usually end up being liberal and making liberal decisions.

Yes, and how has that worked? Is our public education system something to be proud of? Or is it the laughingstock? The most important thing you can invest in children is time not money. We, as the American parents are reaping the harvest of our decision to invest in making money our first priority.

Absolutely. Since mom and dad have both went to work, mom and dad don’t even see their kids as much as teachers and administrators. Who do you think the kids are going to follow? And why are parents indignant? And why should the school board care because they know most parents will not change and take their kids out of those school because they’re chasing after their careers , money, bigger houses, nicer cars, better investments, etc. etc.

Yes. Many are chasing all of these things and have very little time and/or interest in throwing their hats in the ring of school board politics.

Heterosexuality is taught to kids and reinforced by society in many different ways. Starting with Adam and Eve which I was taught at a very young age, in a children’s Bible book with lots of pictures. Adam and Eve were depicted by mostly nude cartoons with leaves covering their genitals and eve’s breasts. No Christian looked at that book and thought oh no it’s children being sexualized! They created and sold the books.
No one reasonable is upset at Ken and Barbie getting married. No those toys are beloved and popular. No one is wanting to toss out Disney legacy films that portray heterosexuality; those are beloved and popular.
Give me a break, teaching kids about gayness and accepting gay people is not “sexualizing” children in a damaging way like molestation or showing them pornography.

I don’t see a problem with it being in public school libraries as long as all versions, translations, and other religious texts get equal treatment.Christians decry proposed Utah school district Bible ban

I really think it is probably better for the parents to disseminate and oversee this type of material to their children.

Why do you think this is so?
My children are graduates of the public school system.
Are you referring to the books/curriculum being questioned or to the National School Board Association requesting the DOJ go after these parents?
So religious material should be the responsibility of parents but parents shouldn't protest books in libraries that describe sex acts in vivid detail or curriculum that says whites are inherently racists and minorities are inherently victims of whites?
