We cant have 20,000 parents telling the school 20,000 different things about what is and is not acceptable, according to their own feelings.
Could you imagine parents going into the classroom while their kid is sitting there trying to learn, timmys dad said hes not allowed to learn about evolution even if timmys favorite movie is jurassic park and he collects fossils. Sorry timmy, youve been denied your education cause your mom and dad dont believe in it.
You want that...? Parents already have opt out sheets for anything questionable, like sex education, the movie "Roots", Schindler's List, all those historical films we all saw and had to get a permission slip signed to do so.
The only issue here is they dont control it 100% like they want to control everything else.

You’re assuming that just because a parent had access to a lesson plan that they are going to dispute it
If we are coming from the assumption that all these teachers are normal, professional, and teaching appropriate materials, then you should also come from the assumption that parents are normal professional (different field), and ok with teachers teaching appropriate materials. You don’t get to claim a giant portion of the population is normal and another is batshit crazy because it suits your argument
Edit: does a teacher who is a parent kind of scramble the argument? On one hand they are normal and wise because they are a teacher, on the other hand they are controlling and crazy because they are a parent?
