Dear Editor:

Im sure its disappointing for many Indiana families with school age children when the state legislature cant find the courage and resolve to push through even a compromised Curriculum Bill to protect children and give parents a voice.

The idea being pushed that its somehow threatening to teachers for parents to have expectations and want transparency is nonsense.

I learned early in my business career that we all have customers, internal as well as external, and we all have bosses. Both children and their parents are the school systems customers. If you feel threatened by your customer, youre probably doing something you shouldnt be doing.

Id like to say to parents this is just another bump in the road. It should now be abundantly clear that you must get involved with school board elections and recall where necessary. I also believe this is an opportunity for county and state political organizations to provide voters with their school board candidates philosophy and specific position on these controversial subjects and resultant classroom materials.

All candidates for public office should be required to identify party affiliation, once again, providing transparency!

Finally, Id like to share a letter that best captures my feeling on this important matter from Noah Bloomberg of Chicago who recently wrote in the Wall Street Journal: Its a shame theres no Geneva Convention for the culture wars. The progressive left has stationed children at the front lines of its battle for a woke revolution. During the COVID era, children have borne the brunt of the collateral damage. I hope primary education becomes a central issue in the midterm elections. Weve seen too many casualties in the past two years.
