It's just not extremely religious parents, and comparing them to Taliban says a lot about you. And who should dictate what kind of material school teach? Who should decide that this is benefitial to children and that is a harmful propaganda? Parents should have a say, because they are well, parents.

Attempted insurrection in January. Texas SB8. Various anti-trans policies. Conjured up CRT bogeyman. The list goes on and on. If you don’t see parallels between fundamentalist Christians in the US and other religious extremists and their authoritarian leaders elsewhere, I don’t know what to say.

What, did you just associate concerned parents throughout the country to people at Capitol in January?

Not all concerned parents are fundamentalist Christians.

And many parents are idiots. Society - our buffer against loud individuals - should have the say.

Concerned parents are part of that society, so you are really saying they should have a say as well.
