Okay. Now you're getting into personal attack mode, and that's not allowed in this thread. I accepted you commentary and didn't attack you, so please don't attack ME. Warning number one.
No, I said you had a valid point. And NO, I'm not against parents' active participation in the education of their own children because I'm a parent too.
But participation shouldn't include threats and intimidation. Participation shouldn't include efforts to demonize and intimidate and OSTRACIZE a vulnerable minority of students within the student body, their teachers, or their parents.
Participation should not include the exclusion of historical FACT under the guise that these FACTS may prove racially/culturally "uncomfortable."
The teaching of America's racist past, and the lingering effects, should not be uncomfortable when the lessons include the TRUTH that people of MANY races worked, fought, and even died, on BEHALF of equal opportunity and civil rights for ALL.
In fact, maybe lessons about certain events in our past SHOULD be uncomfortable - the better by which to HOPEFULLY LEARN to avoid the SAME MISTAKES NOW and in the future.
