A Georgia school board voted along party lines Thursday to fire a teacher after officials said she improperly read a book on gender fluidity to her fifth grade class.

    Did you read any required books in school? Did you parents have to fill out a form agreeing to those books? If not, then maybe “you need the parents to be on board” is a bullshit excuse.

      You misunderstand me. I’m not saying that parents should be on the board. Although maybe some should? I don’t really care.

      What I’m saying is that in the real world, I hope, the people have influence on what their government does. So, when the government does something, like add something to school curriculum, the people can be involved. That’s why we vote for things. That’s the parental influence on schools that I’m referring to.
