Parents need to have the option to opt out of anything MCPS does that they do not meet their approval.

Why not allow parents to know? This is akin to teenagers hiding the fact that they are smoking from their parents. Never thought it would come from a school district. I went to MCPS growing up, and this is a disgrace.

Parents need to have an opt out option of any curriculum that parents do not approve of.

As a former MCPS parent and MCCPTA VP, teaching of sexuality in any form is something that parents should be aware of and have the option to "opt out."

Do not take away parents’ rights. Parents know best when it comes to the sexuality of their children. Teachers stick to Math, English Grammar and Spelling, Geography, True U.S. History, World History, Reading, Finances, all related to every day living & learning.Languages.

Very disappointed in this board. School choice is the answer. You are turning education upside down for 0.5% of the US population. Try real teaching instead. Your scores are an embarrassment

MCPS"s job is TO TEACH reading, writing, science, history. Leave everything else to the parents.

This is unconscionable.

This is outrageous. Parents should absolutely have the right to decide what their children should learn and at what age. We aren't a socialist country last time I looked.

Everyone on the school board should be removed immediately and we the people should vote in new members. This is what we get for our tax dollars, not a good education anymore, just more of this.

It is up to my husband and I to teach our children about values, not mcps. Please teach my children academics and do not take away my right to opt out of teachings that go against our family values!

No time or public money should be spent on this. It is an impediment to basic education.

MCPS CANNOT EXCLUDE PARENTS FROM PROBLEMATIC LITERATURE. Young children are innocent regarding human sexuality. It is not fair curriculum for classroom especially excluding parental consent.

Opting out is a critical part of parental control and should always be an option.

My child is in private school because of your policies I am signing this to help parents who cannot afford private school and to stop the indoctrination of kids and to protect the future.
