Who knows. The fact is that many parents feel that this is what's being taught, or proposed to be taught, or otherwise promoted. And their accusation if true is reasonable.
It's important to know if any one curriculum deserves criticism. They simply can't be lumped into the same, every school district and state will have different standards. And how will you know if their accusation is reasonable if you don't know if it's true?
My understanding is that he was saying that many parents are concerned. Whatever is actually being taught is almost irrelevant to this fact.
It's absolutely relevant. At this point, we don't know if the many concerned parents are concerned about something that's real, or a chimera.
If there is a misconception, then there is a responsibility for those promoting any idea, to speak clearly to avoid misconceptions, but as far as I'm concerned there also is a duty upon those who might have a misconception, to honestly try to understand.
I'd agree with that.
