This is a private Quaker school.

Are they going to start banning subject matter in private schools as well as public?

They don't actually care, they just want to spin outrage against the public school system and get more people on their side for privatization.

Yeah, that fact wasn't lost on me. I'm just saying the GOP will grasp at anything to make people demonize public school. The headline shows nothing about it being a private school. The fact it's a private school is said as an aside in the second paragraph, and incredibly missable. The fact it's for 11th and 12th grade students (near-adults that have 99% certainly seem genitalia before) with permission from the parents and 100% voluntary for the student is down near the bottom. The facts in this article that could change the outlook of the reader are obfuscated on purpose. The average fox news consumer looks at this, immediately thinks public school and immediately thinks elementary school.

Can’t let pesky little facts get in the way of a narrative!

Rich parents send their kids to private school for 1) to get the kids out of their hair and/or 2) to show everyone else how rich and better than everyone else they are.
