After all this yammering, I gotta admit we (myself included) are making a big deal out of something that really isn't a big deal.
Teachers lay out the curriculum at the start of the year anyway. Maybe the parents who disagree with it can just read it and keep their kids home that week, or month that something they don't agree with might get mentioned.
Of course, someone has to look after the kids who are opting out of the offensive lessons, and that won't be free. Perhaps the local churches will cover this cost. Or maybe members of the clergy can look after the children?
