I support excellence in education. If a charter system would improve the educational opportunities for our kids and their futures then yes, I support charter schools. What I do not support is the continuing pressure to normalize homosexuality.

I care about raising a moral child who knows right from wrong and can experience a relatively innocent childhood. The public schools are ideal for raising kids who understand diversity. A minority of members in our society are actively pushing immoral diversity. I would be compelled to find the most diverse educational experience that prepares my child for a lifetime of employment and community engagement and that values moral standards (ie: truthfulness, respect, responsibility, hard work, kindness, charity, innovation, perseverance and self-control.) I hope no one feels compelled to blast me.
