If parents feel that the kids are being taught something that they don't agree with I would agree that it is best to have them take the course and then discuss it, however I don't believe that they should be forced into that position.
The problem is that parents are always a generation behind in everything they've learned as children. And if we leave it to parents to decide what their children are and are not to learn, then the children will be a generation behind as well.
And if
those children teach
their children only what they've learned, then those children are
two generations behind. And so a nation falls further and further behind in its education.
All the while the rest of the world laughs and wonders why the hell a mighty nation full of resources and skilled teachers is letting the ignorant school the innocent.
