Hey TMSH, my example of segregation was exactly that: an example. If you were too stupid to see that, that's your problem. You can put in any issue as a placeholder if you like: teaching creationism, LGBT tolerance, free healthcare, it doesn't matter.
Because it all boils down to the same thing. You're fighting an issue and taking the moral High Ground on something that you're going to lose. The evidence is in my favor, not yours. eventually people did away with segregation, Jim Crow laws were reversed, it isn't legal to teach creationism in public schools (as far as I know ), gay marriage is now legal, and in Most states it's illegal to discriminate against someone on the basis of their sexuality, maybe in all states, I'm not a hundred percent sure.
Eventually, the transgender issue will pan out the same way. And you'll be left with your thumb up your ass, continuing to take the moral High Ground, delusional in your belief that you are fighting a battle on the basis of what's best for children and society, without ever realizing that it was you who was doing the unethical, immoral, and mean-spirited thing.
Forget about the book for a second. What do you think about a child who comes to school who is transgendered, or just a crossdresser? You don't think that segregating them, or excluding them on some arbitrary basis is any different than racism? So for a teacher to read a book to young children to let them know that it is not okay to exclude or separate or be mean to a child who cross dresses, that's a bad thing?because the opposite message is what we should be instilling in our children?
I don't know about anyone else, but when I was in school I was constantly bombarded with messages about inclusion, and being nice to people who are different, and study the civil rights movement and talked about issues like racism. I don't see how this is fundamentally any different. I was probably too young to appreciate how important those messages were, but it does not make the message any less important. your attempt to make meaningless delineations between the two things makes the message no less important.
All you are is a contrarian. You consistently and constantly take the other side of an issue that you construe as liberal, democratic, leftist, whatever word you want to use, almost without exception. It gets really, really old. It makes you seem insincere and seem like a provocateur, because all you care about is defending a certain political ideology, without examining the ethical or moral ramifications of each specific issue. Never mind what the long-term consequences might be if the things you desired actually came to pass, conservative values need to be preserved!
Stupid...
If you want to live in a religious theocracy that is intolerant of homosexuals, teaches religious nonsense, and restrict freedoms across-the-board, go live in Iran. Other than teaching a religion you no doubt revile, whether publicly, or secretly, it seems just perfect for you.
