Support Option #3 as the default option of the Opt-In Form
The School District has an Opt-In Form with several options on it.
At issue is which option is the default, if the parents never turn in the form. This Opt-In Form does not “ban books”, “burn books”, or deny access to these materials by students whose parents expressly grant permission.
We support Parent’s rights to decide what materials their children are subjected to.
The Purple-People want leftists to decide.
4 of 7 School Board members voted to change the default option to Option#3.
3 of 7 board members are trying to call for a change back.
The Curriculum Committee is now recommending that the default option is changed to “Full Access”, if no parental permission is granted.
If we lose 1 board vote, it will revert back.
We need to urge them to keep it the way it was voted on a few months ago. Not to let the left change it back.
We need a Sea of Red more than we need people speaking during public comment
If more than 20 speakers sign up, it drops from 3 min. each, to 1-2 min. each.
If you sign up to speak, and it’s not your strong suit, and it’s announced that we are over 20, consider raising your hand and removing yourself from the list, to get us at 20.
With option 3, parents have to expressly grant written permission, before their students can access the questionable material of the Media Center/Library in our public schools. It’s one thing to forget to sign an opt-out form, but when they have to actively say “I want my kid to see this smut”, they are less likely to do so.
Please bring everyone you know, to speak on this issue.
