Montgomery County Schools Parental Rights Case

I am no fan of large school systems when school based parent-teacher boards may be better at these decisions.

We need to teach more civics - but not in a way that people who find it hard shy away from voting - because sometimes they fight back. It is why we have Trumpism and calls for parental rights.

Rights and power are two different things. When the powerful demand rights, something is going wrong. This leads to dangerous moral attitudes, like original sin, vengeful gods and honor killings.

There is no need to worry about educating young kids, but in middle school (which I would have be from grades 5 through 7 - with high school 8 - 10 followed by associates degree and vocational programs) and after, tolerance needs to be taught - regardless of parental opinions. Why do teachers want to go there?

Because kids who are rejected by moralistic parents or bullied at school sometimes kill themselves. It is the most likely cause of death for this age group. Parents may or may not face this - or have their friends face this. A teacher at this level is almost assured of exposure to such circumstances. 

They need to be given the power to care and have that seen as a good thing.
