Same thing they did when we questioned the Comprehensive Sex Ed program at the schools years ago. If people ask me now what I would do as a parent w children, I suggest they pull their kids from public school and look for other options. Work to get school vouchers that allow the public money allocated for each student to follow the student and allow parents to put their children in a school where they feel sale and heard.
