I truly don’t understand the people who think teachers telling children how to run, hide, and fight during school shootings is normal but think a teacher acknowledging that someone has two moms or two dads is indoctrination.

Remember when the right complained about ‘politically correct terms’ It’s hypocrisy! Mass shootings have already ‘corrupted’ a whole generation of kids and grandkids; we don’t know yet how it will affect them as they grow older- but the subject of sex is totally taboo while mass shootings are norm

None of this is normal. Children cannot have two fathers or two mothers. Two women cannot give birth to the same child and two men cannot conceive the same child. And it's indoctrination, yes. And unnatural, harmful to the child's development. That kind of thing turns people away from the Left.

It seems by your logic step parents,foster parents etc.. don’t exist. There are many types of families, it’s been that way longer than some realize. Nobody’s business how anyone chooses to live so long as everyone is safe. In school the teacher shouldn’t be discussing the setup of any family.

I will not argue because it is pointless. You have your truth, and I believe pediatricians. Children from single-parent families, particularly those with single mothers, show a higher likelihood of engaging in criminal behavior. Because there is no father who sets boundaries for the child early on.
