However parents also need to realize that a school is comprised of students (well, most public schools at least) from various walks of life. Including some gay and transgendered kids. And laws that directly (or indirectly) demonize certain groups of kids infringe on the rights and well being of students (and their parents) who may not fit into the mold that right wingers are trying DICTATE to schools, teachers, and school boards.
The teachers are not the parents. I am not sure I have ever saw any personal teacher's items in the classroom, I have in their offices. A teacher's freedom, acceptance of thought doesn't mean you get to teach sex to my 5-year-old, If I do not wish you to. I am the parent not the teacher...
I do not have a problem with "In God We Trust" posters, but if most of the people in my area are against it ... so be it ...
