Schools districts

As President Biden gears up for his campaign he doesn't say much about crime, inflation and the border but his main concern is protecting freedom. It is not that easy to discern what that means but best guess is protecting the freedom of abortion, of being transgender, of being gay and gay marriage. Most Americans agree with those choices but prefer that they remain private decisions and not be taught in schools. Most Americans oppose book burning but do oppose certain books that promote certain sexual preferences in schools. Most Americans are protective of what is taught in schools and prefer the subject matter be limited to the three R's, the areas where the teachers have their expertise. If the schools feel it necessary to teach sexual preference they should bring in teachers who specialize in those areas and the courses should be electives. Most feel this is the responsibility of parents and the teachers also feel that way. Controversial issues like sharing bathrooms and showers with transgender students should be determined locally by parents in those districts. This will be added to the responsibilities that school districts already have. School districts determine how their students will meet the standards and benchmarks by developing courses and curriculum. School districts also decide which evidence based instructional techniques are to be used and take on the responsibility to train and support educators in using those instructional techniques.
