It was a disturbing evening at the May 24 Washougal school board meeting. The meetings are currently taking place on Zoom because some parents in our community refuse to follow rules.
The current drama is over the district’s comprehensive sexual education curriculum. Any parent can opt out at any time. One of the problems is that those opt-out parents do not get to do that to other people’s children. Some parents have spread lies about the curriculum in order to fan the flames of their personal vendettas. They try to call school staff groomers and pedophiles for teaching this curriculum.
Voters passed this law in the state of Washington by a two-thirds majority. The real reason some parents have manufactured these dramas this year is because they want to destroy public education. Earlier this year, it was protesting critical race theory and masks. Now it’s comprehensive sexual education.
I have never seen people so obsessed with sex who then complain about CSE, which can stop children from being victims. They just don’t care about anything but what they want. They don’t care about other parents or their kids or rules or laws or civility. They only want their voice listened to, and to hell with the rest.
