LGBT Civil Rights and Activism

Parents will be able to opt their child out of any lesson that includes a book with a message they disagree with on religious grounds. Unfortunately, I think the effects will be much wider than that sounds.

Imagine being a teacher planning lessons or deciding what books to read to the kids. If you want to use a book that shows a gay person existing, you'll need to have something different lined up for the kids with bigoted parents. It's much easier to just choose a book that won't be "controversial," and from what I know about how overworked teachers are these days, I won't be at all surprised if a lot of them decide to do just that.
