Opinion | I'm a teacher. Parents should have little to no say about what we teach our students. By Matt4VA
that the 2012 shooting, in which 20 children and six school employees were shot dead at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, was fabricated by gun-control advocates and mainstream media as a false flag operation.
In a lot of states, parents already have an oversized influence on what is taught when it comes to sex education. In 37 states plus Washington DC, parents are allowed to opt their child out of sex education., 20 states and Washington DC require provision of information on contraception and parents have the choice in 37 states and Washington DC to opt out their child from sex education classes.
As an educator, I've worked on developing and writing curriculum for multiple states and many courses covering a wide range of topics. What content goes into a course's curriculum is carefully thought out over an extended period of time and with input from various subject matter experts. Parents do have an indirect way of deciding what schools teach through electing people that are on school boards and state level offices. These elected officials either make decisions about what will be taught in schools or appoint or confirm members of state boards of education that make these policies. Parents have every right to make their voice heard by speaking at school board meetings or open public forms at meetings, but they should not dictate what is being taught.
