Today's Portland Press Herald reports about the state of education in Maine, mostly as an opportunity to trash Republican Governor Paul LePage who is running for a third, albeit interrupted, term in November. In the very first paragraph we learn that he has "a plan to topple Maine's woke education system with a Parents Bill of Rights."
Parents Bill of Rights sounds good, right? But the article goes on to say that LePage's dastardly plan wants kids to get back to learning the basics of reading, science and math, and not anything sexually explicit, like classes on gender and sexual diversity. This is deemed very old-fashioned among the very wide awoke Democrats.
A local Maine mother of five says she was upset seeing a poster in her 11-year-old's classroom highlighting the broad array of sexual preferences available, but heterosexuality was not one of the choices. Maine's current governor, Democrat Janet Mills, who may or may not be female, is all for a "woke" agenda that teaches sexual diversity.
I guess I am too old to appreciate all this nonsense. In my day sexual diversity meant sometimes being on top.
