I don't want to end up like a Helicopter parent but at the same time, again, parents should be able to trust these school systems to not indoctrinate their political and agenda pushing narratives onto them.

You wanted God and American Flag worship removed from school. No more pledging allegiance. Fine. Don't turn around now only to promote pseudoscience and Rainbow Flag worship. Because it sure as [BLEEP] feels that way every time I see something. Go watch some of those PTA meetings and parents going off at schoolboard meetings. Those are valid. It's not like their concerns are falling out of the sky or it's trendy to take time out of your schedule being an employee somewhere or parent to [BLEEP] go off on people you're trusting with your children essentially 30+ hours a week. 

I get the parent Vs. teaching aspect. Children need to be taught these things at home. But, also, don't teach them a bunch of BS either. Otherwise, you're probably going to get an unruly child that's already been fully indoctrinated at home.

They still do the pledge every morning in both FL and MD.
