Question for conservatives who support the Florida parental rights bill

Given the language of the bill, how should a teacher answer a question from a first grade student about why Billy has two dads and no mom?

Does the teacher just say they can't talk about that? Is that the kind of censorship you really want in our schools?

Religion is already censored in school.
A child was once told they couldn't discuss God creating the world.
The teacher has the option to tell a child to ask his/her parents to explain...

Have you ever disagreed with a lifestyle or values and morals others have? Did it all of a sudden make you a phobic person?
I want the values and morals subjects to be something I instill and not let others make decisions on.
Schools.... public ones for sure.... are going in directions some parents just don't care to follow.

Keep in mind there is more to the whole thing since Billy evidently had a woman mom at some point and this goes into more in depth things dealing with sex and all.

Depends on what the values are. If one of your values is fear of gay people, then yes, that makes you a homophobic person.

@BohemianBoo I'm leaving this by the way side.
Don't care to get into it with someone who seems hell bent on thinking anyone who doesn't agree with being gay is homophobic.

@SW-User Did you know some people think that anyone who doesn't agree with being black is racist?

@BohemianBoo When you finally grow up a bit...let me know. As for this, quit picking a fight.

@SW-User Deflection. And if you don't want to be mocked, stop being a pussy who is still afraid of the gay.

@SW-User what do you mean by 'agree with being gay'?

If someone said they don't agree with being blonde or they did not agree with being short how would you view it?

SW-User

@BohemianBoo I am going to give you just enough time to read this before I block your rude and insulting ass!
You and others like you are the reason young people are seen as ignorant and rude.
I am afraid of what the future holds for this world with the kind of people you are representing.
Done with you!

@SW-User And I'm glad that the Boomers are dying out. 😝

@BohemianBoo What did you gain? Nothing. Only thing you proved is you have nothing worthy of saying so you get nasty and rude. Bye,

@SW-User The reason America is heading towards Fascism is because of the Boomers. When they finally die out, we can start moving to the Left again.
So that's what I gain.

@ViciDraco Being blonde or short are not about morals or values.
Ask the alien to explain it all. I am done with it.

@SW-User being gay is not about morals or values either though.

SW-User

@ViciDraco That's your opinion.

I agree with much of what you say, generally. But [b]please[/b] don’t become guilty of that which you condemn in others—bigotry. Plenty of of "boomers" (myself included) supported the Civil Rights Movement, the fight for women’s rights, LGBT rights and helped bring social changes to the forefront. Don’t assume you have no allies among my generation. 🙁
