Parents and teachers in Michigan are sounding the alarm

 

At a packed board meeting Tuesday, 33 speakers opposed the measure, citing First Amendment concerns, parental rights, and the politicization of education. Critics slammed the proposal as “woke,” “anti-religious,” and a “workaround” to sneak ideology into schools after similar legislation failed in Lansing.

 

And now the fight heats up. After a fiery public hearing, the State Board of Education is under pressure over a proposal that would make sex ed mandatory starting in 3rd grade and strip away the parental opt-out. No vote has been taken yet, but critics warn this “backdoor” move could sneak radical curriculum into classrooms statewide. Lawsuits are already being floated — and the board says more public input is coming before any final decision.
