If you want your children’s education rooted in christian values and don’t agree with the current curriculum, send them to a private school.

Can't upvote this enough. Honestly.

Exactly! Trinity High is just a few miles away, also in Lower Allen Township. Although I should add that they would probably ban her from campus in the first month.

right after the school refunds all the taxes it took from the family. education is obviously something we can no longer do together. people have a right to their own beliefs and it is beyond unjust to take someone's property and then use it in a way that is against that persons belief system. the split is a reality. we should formalize it and go our seprate ways. the union is failed.

What? Everyone pays school taxes. Not just people with kids that go to that school. Why should anyone get a refund because they decide to go elsewhere? That makes no sense. I don’t have a school aged child and we still pay school tax. School tax paid by everyone guarantees everyone gets access to an education. If you don’t believe with the curriculum, pay more for a private school. I know of 5 Christian private schools around me as it is.
This mom’s kid isn’t even in the class with the curriculum she has a problem with.

If that’s the case I want every tax dollar spent on the military back

You don’t get to cherry pick which taxes to pay. Millions of families of private school students have paid their taxes, why should that all of a sudden change? If you don’t like the public school curriculum, send your kids to private school or move to a school district that has an education system you support.

Ok then go to Mexico, Canada, or literally any other nation. No one is keeping you here.

The mom is just trying to opt out of part of the curriculum. You don't have to agree with this parent, but that's the point. Every parent has this right, and it makes it so you can trust the schools won't teach your kids things you disagree with either way. If the school was pushing "Judeo-Christian morals," parents could and should opt out of that too.

As someone else in this thread has already shown, her child is in high school, well past the K-6 stage where this curriculum is being taught. She isn’t fighting for her child at all, she’s causing a stink for something that has no effect on her or her child’s life.

Despite all the fluff/nonsense in the article, it seems that this is the only action the parent is taking:
> Thankfully, parents have strong parental rights here in Pennsylvania. Chapter four of the Pennsylvania School Code authorizes parents or guardians to "have their children excused from specific instruction that conflicts with their religious beliefs."
I agree with this law and would support a lawsuit if it was violated. I don't know what else this parent would have to complain about.
