As it should be. Legislatures and accountable people. Not some random educator who wants to teach whatever they want.
Parents are tired of these educators not teaching the basics. And indoctrinating their kids.

Teachers study & hard to work out the best techniques to motivate all students, find make lessons and experiences to encourage healthy curious minds.
It's laughable that those who have not studied childhood education think they are making the right call, or that these teachers have an agenda besides trying to help these kids be better.
The community I was raised in, and grew up in, and continue to raise my kids in, do not consider the same things this law considers obscene. A very vocal minority is flexing whatever power they can hold on to, and forcing this unwelcome intrusion into our communities.
If you listen to the teacher’s during their required masters teaching coursework, the indoctrination begins subtly and then converts them away from recognizing anecdotal evidence not aligning with doctrine. The best example of this is group work.
As a school student, group work was always extra work load because the ones who were low achievers just waited for the high achievers to take care of things. Whether it was perniciously done or lazily, I ended up doing it and believing the teachers were out of their mind. All the high level students recognized this.
Having brought this up with colleagues who were getting their master’s degrees in teaching, they pointed out that studies showed that group work had the lower level kids be inspired by the higher kids. That’s why group work could show the lower kids how to be successful.
The goal here is to indoctrinate the teachers into believing social studies, (a college department that is worthless and devoid of any redeeming quality), that fly in the face of reality. The indoctrination then carries into the younger classes.
The one above who pointed out the system has been completely taken over is correct.
The fundamental problem is the teachers are doing a REALLY bad job of communicating to parents how putting books about human sexuality in the hands of 7 year olds is "helping kids be better".
