I don't care what you feel, if the parents tell you "don't read that to my kid" and you do it anyway, you get what you get.
No genuinely, 100%, actually, fuck that. Forget gender, lgbt, and all that for a moment. In a very general sense, a teacher has a duty to society to challenge children and teach them to be better people. Sometimes that will clash with the bigotry and racism held by their parents, and that's a good thing. The moment we prevent teachers from trying to make a better world is the day our society ends.
Until the pendulum swings, like it always does, and the right wing grabs hold of all of these tools that the left has created. And then you'll be told that you have no choice regarding the changes they will make. It's best to leave that authority with parents.
What in the country fried fuck are you talking about? Do you honestly believe that conservative teachers aren't already doing this? There is no pendulum. Conservatives attempt every trick they can come up with to sneak their ideology into classrooms.
So don't play their games. Get the people on your side, instead of trying to get around them.
Tell that to the right.
in 2020 51.31% of the popular vote went to "the left" and 46.85% to "the right".

That 81 million and 74 million. Sometimes it feels like both halves are pretending the the other half is all crazy people. So you're saying that we should do something because the other side does it too.. But if the other side is crazy, why do we emulate them?
Oh no, God forbid the right gets a hold of checks notes gender fluidity.
Everything is a tool to authoritarians, it doesn't mean we should stop making tools.
...yes it does?
so what you're saying is that everything's fucked, lets give up?
No, let's move ahead carefully to not fall over and slide further back down the hill.
