Parents' Right to opt out of Books and Lessons Promoting LGBTQ Ideas

Let them leave kids pushing to their wicked agenda.

Stop providing LGBTQ books and lectures at school to our children. Parents/guardians should be the only responsible people who can discuss gender base issues with their children, NOT TEACHERS. School boards, please allow our kids to have pure/ healthy academic knowledge; stop lecturing our kids about LGBTQ or other sexuality issues. Stop providing LGBTQ books in school. Let our kids grow as a kid.

I refuse homosexuality

We need Kids to be kids. They can be whatever but just don’t teach this.

I would like to exercise My Religion

It is not good for future of families and kids

Dear MCPS and Members of the School Board, We, the undersigned parents and community members, hereby present this petition to advocate for the recognition and protection of parents' rights to opt out of books and lessons that promote LGBTQ ideas within the school curriculum of MCPS. We acknowledge and appreciate the importance of creating an inclusive and supportive educational environment that fosters respect and acceptance for all students, regardless of their identity. We believe in promoting diversity, empathy, and understanding within our schools. However, we firmly believe that parents should have the ultimate authority and responsibility to guide the moral and cultural education of their children. It is our deeply held belief that the introduction of sensitive topics should be a matter entrusted to parents, who are best positioned to determine the timing, content, and approach of such discussions within the context of their family values and beliefs. Therefore, we request that the School Board implement a policy that grants parents the right to opt out their children from any books, curriculum materials, or lessons that include LGBTQ content. This opt-out provision would allow parents to exercise their fundamental rights to direct their children's education and upbringing while ensuring that alternative educational options are made available to those who choose to opt out. We understand that diversity and inclusivity are important values to be taught in schools, and we do not advocate for any form of discrimination. Rather, we seek to strike a balance that respects the rights of all stakeholders involved, including parents, while maintaining a nurturing and academically enriching learning environment for all students. In addition, we request that the School Board establish clear and transparent procedures that allow parents to review and provide feedback on curriculum materials related to LGBTQ content. This will foster open dialogue between

God created Men and Women to be in love, not Men and Men or Women and Women.

Parents' Right to opt out of Books and Lessons Promoting LGBTQ Ideas

I don't want my children to have this kind of practice. We hate what God hates

Parents should have the right to decide their children future.

There are many plans in a man's heart, But Yahweh's counsel will prevail.

Please let the children grow as children.
