    Ask the children. Act in the interest of the children. We or anyone else has no business deciding this without taking the individual needs into account. Blanket yes or no would be stupid

      Children have a right to education. Parents do NOT have a right to withhold an education. Teacher’s obligations are to the student, NOT TO THE PARENT. Parents can fuck right off.

        Sorry, I thought this was a Canadian sub. Probably, your children don’t have a right to education. But I still think any teacher’s moral and ethical responsibility is to the student, not to the student’s parents.

          I’m from the Netherlands, so we’re all right. One of my kids is nonbinary since when teachers tried to teach the gender binary in Pre-K. My kid was so confused they called us in and needed to be reassured it could just be a phase. It wasn’t, that was 6 years ago or something. Who cares as long as they’re happy
