I haven't seen any evidence that public schools are teaching LGBTQ ideology. Most are just repeating words they hear on the news stations.
Maybe because your eyes are closed to it . SCOTUS has the questionable materials before them in this case.

A children's book on the topic has come up in the USSC hearing. A children's book. Nothing about human sexuality needs to be presented for that age level. If the point is respecting those who are different, Dr. Seuss wrote one that addressed that without delving into human sexuality. Ironically, The Sneetches makes that point well above that age level, too.

This isn't about "In a lit class, dark and dreary." This is about presenting this material to students who are just learning the basics of mathematics and getting their reading up to speed.
Is this book required reading?

Or maybe it's not that my eyes are closed but your thought process is closed. I was looking to find exactly what lessons teach LGBTQ "ideology". If you know then provide it.

I do believe there may be forum rules against posting smut. Maybe you could just research this for yourself.

Who is asking for smut? Maybe you don't the difference between smut and educational material. What exactly did you do during school hours?

The USSC case concerns whether parents can opt out their children from such material. That would seem to answer your question. The school system in question initially allowed parents to opt out their children, then removed that option. The titles in question are...interesting.

Again, why bring up human sexuality at all with children of that age? It boggles the mind.

It doesn't really answer the question. I asked if it was required but there is no info showing that it is required reading.

I haven't seen what age group you refer to. What age is appropriate to start teaching school age kids about their body?
