Tell her to stand her ground. This is an infringement on her freedom of speech! She is getting bulied into silence.
.44/day...meh...snap.Tell her to stand her ground. This is an infringement on her freedom of speech! She is getting bulied into silence.
teach your daughter not to talk about religion, money or politics.
Yeah, those are topics for men only. Just guide her gently to the kitchen and tell her this is where girls belong.
That's not prompting tolerance.
teach your daughter not to think about anything, rather anything important.
This is why they want to avoid the question being asked in the first place. Obviously it's not your daughter's intent to harass anyone, and it's a seemingly harmless question to ask. But when the other child responds that they don't believe in God and other students start expressing incredulity, your daughter inadvertently kicked off a conversation that has no business in a public school. What if that incredulity about a lack of faith becomes teasing? Yes, that's not your daughter doing it, but it's an offshoot of something your daughter started, and the school has a responsibility to nip that in the bud before it has the chance to become anything serious. I would hope that the trouble was nothing serious, just a friendly reminder that some topics aren't appropriate to bring up in that setting.
AFAIC, they're infringing on her speech rights. Meet with the teacher, nod and smile, then tell your daughter they're fuckwits, but to play by the rules, cause life is easier when you play by the rules, and others rule over you.
apologize for any offense given
Why so? To become dumb and stupid with no own opinion/insight? Where is that free country america now?teach your daughter not to talk about religion, money or politics.
What about weenies?PC'ness is getting more and more out of hand as time goes on. Nothing you can really do though other than teach your kid where it's ok and not ok to discuss religion, etc.
What about weenies?
True story. At the time, my old boss had a 4 yo grandson. People would ask him what he wanted for Christmas and he would say, "I want a squirrel and to show you my weenie." Then he'd pull his pants down. Knowing my old boss, that kid is definitely related.
He was 4. You'll be going to jail and Bubba will be showing you his.That's awesome. I'm going to start doing this.
It's perfectly OK for students to discuss religion. This has been challenged quite a bit and really never gets traction as it's protected speech.I partially agree with this since this is public school and those type of discussions are generally not allowed. However, my daughter was asking innocently (she is in church school as well) and wasn't trying to harass.
At the same time I'm trying to figure out what type of "oversensitive" parents are these.
