It is a slanted piece portraying the sex educator in a positive light, and the parents in a negative light. It cites "multiple sex educators" (anonymous) as saying "nothing inappropriate" about the curriculum -- an unsourced value judgment (not news).

You ought to be more discriminating in seeing the worldview behind an article even if it if is labeled as news.

I do see the world view behind any news article. It doesn't bother me. I sympathize with the parents.
