"Public health" should be kept the hell out of schools. If kids want vaccinations, they should get them from non-school clinics instead of the coercive practices used in the schools.

Contemporary "sex ed" is causing a precipitous decline in birth rates of white people which isn't sustainable either. So cut that out too.

I say sure why not. Dont public schools send home news letters before they have a guest into classes? And I don't see a problem with it . A person just tells their child everyone has an opinion, not that their way of thinking is right or wrong.

ratz, do you have school-aged kids?

I say, the only way you're going to know exactly what's going on in your kids' schools is to be in direct contact with your childs' teacher. Ask them if they're planning on having guest speakers in speaking about whichever issues. If you want to know what's going on, ASK. You have no one to blame but yourself if you didn't ask and don't agree with what is being presented.

yes in the separate school system .

Or you could consider a private school. Or you could home school. Keep up with your kids people. I hope you know what's going into the schools, and what they are doing online....

When we're talking about school-aged children, their brains, personalities and core value systems are still being created. Someone can tell them that it's their opinion, but everytime someone tells them something, they're going to remember it. I see kids trying to fit in as something like this: when you go shopping, and you see a jacket you like, you try it on and if it doesn't fit, you keep trying until you find one that does. That's what kids are doing. They take pieces of information from all around and see how it fits into their lives and if it doesn't, they discard it. Much like another person's opinion, if a child likes something about that person (or idolizes them), then let's hope that whatever is being presented to them is worthwhile. I have a boy in the separate school system right now and he sure brings home some interesting things (verbally, that is) but I also trust his teacher with his education and if anything didn't sound right, she'd be the first for me to contact and we'd have it resolved in no time. I'm not totally opposed to NGOs being in schools, but what information are they providing. Considering that my boy is in a Catholic school, and he's subjected to mass and what have you, at least he's not ignorant of religion as a whole.. it's something I wanted him to learn. That was a choice. If there's something that you're not happy with, ask about it. Really, the only way you can know what your kids are learning is to ask the school.

I spoke to the local public school division about this and I guess in one way they are addressing this issue.
I cannot take credit for it, but since the beginning of the year they have a new policy.

No longer are they allowing outside groups to send out information in the informational packets sent to parents (newsletters and the like). It does not matter whether it is for a good cause, bad cause, religious or not or profit or non-profit, recreational, social, cultural, political or any of the like.......

Any parent that might inadverdantly receive a handout as part of their newsletter and have concerns that it was in there should contact their local principal or the local public school division board.
