   I have that book for my daughter. It’s fantastic. If anything, the book teaches children to be unashamedly themselves.

   Telling someone they can't be who they are is wrong. The fact that we are in such shortage of teachers and she was fired for it is ridiculously short sighted.

   Being open to acceptance, understanding, empathy, and inclusion benefits everyone.

     @TonyStark "Culves said at the hearing. 'One-sided instruction on political, religious or social beliefs does not belong in our classrooms.'"

     So if teaching acceptance and understanding is "one side" what's the other side? Hatred and murder?

     @rlmcneary2 As usual, the “both sides” thing is garbage. Same as they want to teach slavery “benefits.”
