It's only "ideology" when it's not their ideology.

On the sexual education thing: my dad used to say “if they are old enough to ask about it, they are old enough to hear the answer”

As someone who was homeschooled by conservative parents who didn't teach about "the abcs of lgbt", I can assure you I am still queer. If your kid is gay, they are gay, it doesn't matter if they learned about it in school or not. Let your kids feel supported and seen by learning about queer identities.

ngl the “politics don’t belong in the classroom” argument always gave “i don’t want my kids to be exposed to any opinions that aren’t mine”. like, how do you expect your children to actually think for themselves with that mentality???? 💀

The book reference at 8:28 is "it's perfectly normal". Kat Blaque did a review of it and she got emotional reading it because this book is one of the very few books made for children that honestly tells kids what sex is. And she felt like she needed a book like this one when she was younger. And this book has been credited in court for helping a child realize that they are experiencing sexual assault. Yes it doesn't hide from what sex is, but it isn't porn either. It's literally just an honest explanation and makes abundantly clear that sex should happen with consent. Wild concept. 10/10

“I don’t want to expose my children to any ideologies or sexualities, ” says the conservative Christian husband and wife.

[ishathakor]

the lgbt topics thing is wild too bc like have you seen those little baby shirts with jokes about being a ladies man or whatever like whatever the fuck that is is FAR more inappropriate for children than being told that sometimes a girl will like a girl

[ShakespearsCyst]

I dated two guys who were homeschooled. The first had parents with backgrounds in education and had a very structured school experience. His parents would make a point of having him socialize with other homeschooled kids. The second was homeschooled starting at 10 by a hyper religious mother who frankly wanted him to be a live in nurse for a sick family member. He was isolated and his mother provided decades old books to him and he would basically have to educate himself based off these books. No structure and a lot of Christian BS and fearmongering that still affects his mental health and sexuality.
So what I'm saying is home schooling needs to be monitored and regulated. If you're just isolating your kids for the sake of religous brainwashing and putting zero effort into their upbringing and education, you should be charged with child abuse and neglect.

[coricognitions]

Why is it always the most weirdo insane parents who think they're qualified to educate their kids

[chada]

Ideology = being LGBT+
CRT/DEI = black people/culture
Brainwashing = knowledge of non dominant cultures/peoples

The evolution of language is so fascinating. (/S)

Coming from a country that just doesn’t have homeschooling, the fact that it’s acceptable for parents who possibly failed courses to then teach their children, is absolutely wild to me.

[darijabelkina]

as someone from Eastern Europe where we don’t have homeschooling, the idea of a random parent who most probably failed some of the classes grading and teaching their child is crazy to me. Teachers in my country have to get a degree to have a deeper understanding of a subject they teach, as well as an understanding of child and teenage psychology.

[ilytyuns]

dangelo randomly buying items for teachers is actually the sweetest thing ever 😭😭 we need these kinda of small moments of wholesomeness

[eliii]

As someone who works at a school, I started crying when you cleared those teachers' wishlists! Such a kind thing to do!

[ArtieOfAstora]

D'Angelo University is still accepting new students and transfer students! We now have a ghost that roams the halls, a non-binary rowing team that made it to the national championship, and free cinnamon rolls in the cafeteria every Thursday!! Enroll now!

“Get wrecked, random library in Missouri” while taking a completely unassuming tangent to support educators is hilarious and heartwarming 😂❤️

[nolifetrev]

10:43 “If your kid is old enough to know what ‘Johnny likes sally’ means then he’s old enough to know what ‘Johnny likes Jimmy’ means” was really good

[gnocchidokey]

The number one argument for sexual education is that *it* *helps* *children* *understand* *when* *they* *are* *being* *abused* *at* *home*. You can argue about how to calibrate it and what exactly to include but anyone who just OPPOSES sexual education is either an unserious person (usually) or a perv.

[Somethingcorporate]

Honestly though, parents that don't think it's necessary for children and teens to be taught about their bodies in school and then won't teach them themselves are shooting themselves in the foot. That's how I ended up as a teen pregnancy statistic at 17 😅

[caitlinmanning]

I had a friend like this.. Her ‘ideology’ was basically, ‘It’s fine if he’s taught he can be whatever he wants to be, unless he wants to be a girl.’ After that, was a conversation about how she stopped taking him to a library reading group because a ‘visibly trans person’ started bringing their kid and she didn’t want to explain why they had a beard and was wearing a dress.. I didn’t stay friends with her after that..
