A Georgia school board voted along party lines Thursday to fire a teacher after officials said she improperly read a book on gender fluidity to her fifth grade class.

    You know what actually makes aggressive sales pitches and pushes? Religion.

    Books like the one the teacher read do NOT force or influence children to become trans. They teach them about being open minded and to love everyone around us, no matter how they choose to express themselves.

    Religion, on the other hand, DOES force children to pick a life of close-mindedness by threatening the fear of eternal damnation if they don’t follow the rules in a book.

    Kids need to be protected from this stuff. Sorry.

      I never said religion had any place in schools - it does NOT and thats why it has been removed. Where did you pull that from? Im not into organized religion at all. I just dont think or believe that 5th grade is where we start chest-thumping about trans stuff. Way too early. It shouldnt be “normalized” since it really isnt.
