Parents call police on teacher over LGBT book.

It depends on what was being taught.
I don't know own the specifics.
I was agreeing with the concept of parents
being involved in what's taught.

Do you see any limits to what is taught to children
of any age on any subject?

The book is a sex-ed book. It has illustrations, but they do not appear to be any worse than what one would get in a heterosexual sex ed course and that is often taught to sixth graders. This class a appears to be for students a couple of years older.

Here is an image that I found. Not to worry, it has been pre-blurred:

Also it is rather highly rated as several sources including Amazon where it has a 4.8 out of 5 rating:


And then there is this. At first I thought that it might be an article from a hater, but this shows how the book teaches rather honestly. This part of the book is on why a gay person should not use steroids to look more masculine as some do:

That should raise the ire of bald spotty psychos with balls like shriveled raisins. I'll bet they are calling a lawyer right now for discrimination!

The MAGA Pubs seem to be hell bent on using Gestapo-like tactics, but then we need to remember that their superhero is clearly a neo-fascist who deifies money and power.

Surely. It's also part of the biology curriculum. But I would like a teacher with these female characteristics to teach the junior high boys.
;)


At the high school I graduated from, a few years later a young female teacher was fired because she often sat on her desk wearing a short skirt and no panties. My guess is she didn't have to worry about the boys not paying attention, I betcha! o_O

I bet it was the female students who snitched on her.
Right? ;)

But that is what they like about him most. They just don't say that out loud.
Anthropologist Desmond Morris back in the mid 60's wrote a book entitled "The Naked Ape", and if on studies chimp behavior we share a lot of their both physical and social characteristics, including an admiration and/or fear of alpha males.

BTW, it was that book that especially helped inspire me to go into anthropology.

Good question, but I don't know. My sister was in one of her classes and was the first to inform me of her. I don't think she was much appalled but was surprised.

But do remember that the 60's and early 70's were the "hippie years", so there was quite a bit of "exposure" going on, let me tell ya. My wife & I did quite a bit of "outdoor activity" but not doing it as being exhibitionists, however.

Nature is good. :)

Well, Communists and Marxists did come to hate the fascists.

In democracy, majority wins, I guess.
That's a lazy bull**** reason to discriminate. That's like saying we shouldn't build access ramps for people in wheelchairs just because they're in the minority. There's no rational reason to shelter children from life's realities. Keeping children ignorant simply for the sake of religious, superstitious garbage is detrimental to their developmemt.

In school an educator should tell all pupils: homosexuality and bisexuality are as normal as heterosexuality.
It's absolutely ok.

But what is happening is that some priests of wokeism are pushing educators to tell children: homosexuality is cooler, it's much better to be a LGBT than to be outside of that spectrum.

May I ask, where did you get this from?
I was going to ask the same thing. But I do not expect an answer. For some reason she claimed that the little bit of the book that I posted made it "worse than I thought" and I never go an answer for "Why?" to that question.

Read the books that others would burn.
I am still waiting with what was wrong with the book? What facts were wrong? Where was it too overt?

The closest I can come to an objection is that most of the books dealing straightforwardly with LGBT+ sexuality seem geared towards adults -- there are precious few that address school-age LGBTs at their level...

... but that seems more likely because authors and publishers are reluctant to write/promote such works, for fear of being labeled "groomers." There's a dearth of decent straight sex-ed materials as it is...
