I hate this on so many levels.
It's really intellectually disingenuous to teach politically contentious issues as if they are uncontested facts. It's also deeply ironic that Conservatives in America are paranoid about alleged indoctrination in schools and their solution is to moan about it, exaggerate it, take the moral high ground and then do the same thing but worse!
The one silver lining is that they will struggle to implement this. Most teachers are centrist or left-leaning. This is also true of school leaders and bureaucrats. I wonder how far will they go to impose all this. Will they actually fire teachers who don't comply?

@Burnley123 "Over $200K being spent on drag queen shows at NYC schools, records show"
You teach your kids whatever you want, keep your filthy hands off our children

@sunsporter1649 Drag shows are a form of theater, nothing to do with "putting hands on kids." I'm sure they mean to educate people rather than any form of insidious conspiracy but I know you sure think it is. Whatever gets you off.

@SatanBurger Apparently drag queens get you off

@Burnley123 Conservatives in America are concerned with any narrative that doesn't involve their own carefully crafted identities with the irony being that they are practicing identity over any real objectivity any day. This is what they accuse liberals of doing but they are practicing that which they accuse others of.
If you're a white Evangelical, you're not going to want Rosa Parks in schools, particularly because there's larger sects of Christianity which identify as nationalists. Not all Christians do like Quakers or progressive Christianity but the major ones that have pull in Govt certainly do.
If you're an anti gay conservative who only has religious ideals then you're not going to want any narrative around the fact that there's more than heterosexuals that exist. These types tend to tell you things like "basic" biology should only be taught while ignoring that advanced biology exists and is not taught in schools and that the notion of gender, is actually advanced biology and not basic. Just like they don't support evolution simply because they don't understand it.
If you're a traditionalist conservative, you're not going to want women in fighting sports, not consider any perspective outside the traditional framework of the 1950s. These individuals will prescribe gender roles to nearly everything, even if incorrect and then force heterosexuality upon everyone while talking about the "gay agenda."
And so on and so fourth.

@SatanBurger And of course left-wing nut-job marxists like you are all-encompassing, and love everyone, right?

@sunsporter1649 I don't love everyone, I simply give issues some thought and dig into why something may be valid or not. Common sense.
