We are asking you not oppose. There is utterly no reason to. I do not have to answer to you concerning my beliefs. Which your above assumption is ignorant. And no, I do not need to explain how to you.
Nobody's trying to oppose you telling your kids whatever you want when they're at home.
You're free convey your religious ideas to the fullest extent and make as compelling of a case as you can muster up when explaining it to your children...nobody's trying to stop you.
Everyone else's kids don't have avoid talking/learning about something just because you feel that makes your self-imposed task more difficult.
Again you are off base. And no I don;t answer to you. I do not need your permission for anything here. Get your nose out of these things. But for some reason you just cannot seem to.
You're not making any sense, who's telling you you're not allowed to promote your ideas at home?
I've simply said that you don't have a right to insist that public schools should have to walk on eggshells in order to not say anything that may challenge what you're viewpoint is.
For instance, if you wanted to teach your kids that the US was founded in 1986 by the lead singer of Duran Duran...go ahead, nobody's stopping you.
However, if your kids are going to participate in the public school system, that school shouldn't be expected to avoid talking about the actual framers or the year 1776 because it may cause your kids to question your Simon Le Bon theory when they get home. That's not how this works.
It does not need to go into sexuality, or politics. Especially in lower grades.
If you recall, I agreed that I don't feel there's a need to delve into certain topics at the younger grades. But that's not the ask from many conservatives.
I was a defender of the Parental Right in Education bill in Florida when they specified "From K-3"...I would've still be a defender if it had read "From grades K-5". However they waited all of 8 weeks before they opted move the goal posts and make it K-12.
So let's not try to pretend that this is just about the "lower grades". I gave the Florida GOP the benefit of the doubt on that one for 2 months before they played the bait & switch game and tried push for their restrictions k-12.
You have no right to infringe on my religious freedom over my household. Get your nose out of religious pushback.
Again, you're using certain words, but you're using them in a way that doesn't make sense.
You have religious rights, it's an individual right (in the US) which means you don't have that freedom "over" anyone else.
Much like it would be silly to say "I have voting freedoms over my household"
Ah, yeah you have the power to speak whatever you think is right. And you dislike the idea of ANYONE who might disagree. You don't know the difference.
I'm not the one suggesting that teachers shouldn't be able to say something I don't like merely because it would challenge someone's ability to steer their kids in a certain religious direction.
Then why are you so offended? Because only you can be offended?
I'm not the one asking anyone to implement a "teachers can't talk about anything that could make kids not believe what I believe" framework.
LOL. You just cant tell the difference between You are not doing, vs you are doing here can you? Let parents do the doing, and get your nose out of it. See, nobody is asking you to DO anything. Get out of it. But for some reason you just do not want to.
Yes, you are...you're asking teachers to adjust their lesson plans and intentionally omit something (that the majority of parents actually want their kids to learn about) because it may challenge your religious views.
How about you take a crack at the analogy I provided before and give me your thoughts on it.
If 10% of the kids in your school district were from Jewish or Hindu households, and their parents were demanding a "religion neutral foods" for the cafeteria (out of fear that if their kids saw other people eating bacon cheeseburgers, they may want to try them which would be against the religion they're trying to instill in them)
If you and the other 90% parents & students had no ethical/moral qualms with the burgers and want your kids to be able to eat what they like at lunch, should your kid be denied the ability to enjoy a slice of pizza or a burger at lunch? If those 10% of parents said "you just need to not stick your nose in my family's religious business and get those burgers out of the cafeteria and let me make the decision about what religiously approved foods I want my child to be exposed to!"
Are you and the other 90% of parents the ones sticking your noses into their business? Or is it actually the other way around in that scenario?
(hint: it's the latter)
It may be worth reading up on the concept of "positive vs. negative" rights. (and they don't mean positive/negative in terms of good/bad)
Negative rights are non-rivalrous, and merely oblige inaction.
(like speech, me speaking doesn't take away your ability to speak)
Positive rights are rights that are rivalrous, and require everyone else to give something up or to adjust their own behavior in order for you to have it.
(like when people talk about the right to taxpayer funded healthcare, that would be considered a positive right because it requires everyone else to pay something in order for them to have it)
Religious rights in the US are intended to be within the framework of the former (everyone can have their own religion, and nobody has to give up anything or pay anything in order for the other person to have it). What you're proposing is something resembling the latter framework, in which every other kid in the district has to give up their ability to learn about something they may want to learn about, so that your child doesn't hear something that may cause them to question your religious viewpoint.
As I've heard it coined before, the constitution protects your right to speech & teach, but does not guarantee your reach.
Which means you're free to espouse the beliefs that you want, and you're free to give a 110% effort to try to make sure your kids end up in the same religion as you. What you're not allowed to do, is dictate what everyone else can and can't say (or hear) in order to make your proselytizing task easier.
