A parent is always free to discuss a curriculum issue or assignment with a teacher. Accommodations can be made for individual students. However, no one group or individual parent has a right to change an entire curriculum to suit their agenda.

This has happened because these assholes organized to deliberately attack schools. They could care less about kids. Parents and school boards were blindsided. I think people are starting to fight back.

Precisely.

If parents cannot abide their children being exposed to anything outside what their religion says, either home school them or send them to schools affiliated with your church.

Furthermore, claims that their faith is so strong seem disingenuous. If your faith is so strong, shouldn’t it be able to withstand a few challenges from different schools of thought? Seems more like these folks are afraid their faith is pretty fragile. Methinks the “faithful” doth protest too much.

Home school or pay for a religious education, but keep your religious beliefs where they belong —at home and at your church.

If supposedly you are strong in your faith and beliefs, what are you afraid of?

The perfect line was “Our schools are not your church.” But that is exactly what the Republican Party and the Supreme Court are trying to do with our public schools.

between Christians over which one is THE TRUE one.

My guess is they didn't pay attention when history was being taught. That was the reason behind that part of the First Amendment.
