Not a right winger either. So both sides typically put me in the opposite camp.
Libertarian is more right than left, sorry.

Big difference. Either something is specifically included, as the OP claims, or it is not, which is reality.
I don't think we've made any Christian laws lately, so I don't understand why people act like Christians are always trying to take over
No, it doesn't work that way. It actually is specifically mentioned, they just used a different term. That would be like me saying, "We aren't teaching Creation in school, we are teaching Intelligent Design."
MADE laws, no. Tried? Sure. Go look at any law that tried to stop SSM.
Look, I don't look at SSM as being the center of the universe like some people. These people are a tiny minority. I usually stay out of these discussion because to me it's insignificant to other issues. I don't care that much. Christianity on the other hand is 2 billion people, and yet with all those people we don't have a theocracy in the US as many fear. We never have and never will. Even if prayer was allowed in schools, it would never change that. Even a hard core Christian president won't make us a theocracy; not going to happen. And I wouldn't want it to. The constant beat down on Christianity, trying to paint people as rightwing, hillbilly, gun-toting kooks is what bothers me. They generally don't hurt anyone.
Beginning as young as kindergarten, public school students in the state of Washington will be taught about “transgenderism” effective in the fall 2017 semester.
New LGBT-friendly changes to the Evergreen State’s health education learning standards have been applied so that instruction on “gender expression” will be mandatory for teachers to administer in their classrooms to students,according to the Daily Caller.
GOPUSA ? Kindergartners in WA state to be taught 'transgenderism'
Preference toward ignorance should be mocked and chastised.
We should teach our children everything.
Absolutely.Including gun safety and how to shoot straight?
And, of course the article is nothing more than right wing hysteria:
Though gender identity is mentioned, there is NO mention of transsexuality in the curriculum for kindergartners.
You keeping your children out of public schools doesn't change what's going on there.
Don't kindergartners already know that boys and girls are different?
Why do kindergarteners need to know about any of this crap in the first place?
You know I understand that they're trying to make people understand that transsexuals are just people. But could they please go back to pushing excellence in math and science before we become a third world nation? Most of the higher level college degrees are going to foreigners now, instead of native born Americans. The Chinese are on our heels technically, and we need to improve our game. It seems all this social teaching has become the all important priority, instead of what gets your a job. I'm not saying don't teach it at all, but let's not forget the priorities.
