Comments

Jill Brooks writes:

It is my responsibility, as a parent, to teach my children morals and values. The public school system has no business entering into this discussion with my child. Talk about health, reproductive systems and biology all you want - but keep it factual.

Sharon Rapoport writes:

I agree completely with Jill Brooks. I'm confused about what's happening with this bill. All the information I can find seems to imply that it was at the top of the agenda for the Public Education Subcommittee last Monday. What happened?
