Last Monday, Jefferson County Board of Education approved the bias protection for gay and lesbian workers.

Over 400 people were in attendance for the vote. Those in support of the bias protection were holding signs which read “Protect the Workers” and “Fairness for All.”

While those in opposition were holding signs urging the board to, “Protect the Children.”

But I couldn’t find any sign pleading to, “Protect Parents’ Choice.”

Personally, I don’t give a flip if you want gays, lesbians, bisexuals, cross-dressers, or any other type of (for lack of a better phrase) sexually diverse people to teach your child – just so long as my own child is not forced to sit in their classroom.

Once again, school choice seems to be an obvious solution.

With school choice, not only would Mike Slaton, and all other members of the so-called Fairness Campaign be free to send their children to schools which do employ homosexuals. But also, those parents who are uncomfortable with gays teaching their kids would be free to send their children to schools which do not employ homosexuals.

As a result, both sides of the aisle are satisfied. 

School choice not only, “Protects the Children,” but is truly, “Fairness for All.”
