A North Carolina preschool used flash cards featuring LGBTQ themes to teach kids colors, including one card depicting a pregnant man.
Paré said a concerned constituent emailed her about the cards that were being used to teach preschoolers colors at Ballentine Elementary School in Wake County, NC. Paré then contacted the principal of the elementary school in an attempt to verify the use of the cards in class, with the principal taking "swift action" to investigate the constituents claims.
The principal was able to locate the cards in the preschool classroom and verify with the teacher that they had been used to teach colors, which the principal said was approved curriculum at the school. The principal took possession of the cards and alerted the district superintendent and human resources about the incident, which she said she was unaware of until being alerted to the situation by Paré.

NC is putting up legislation which will give parents more control over what their children are taught in school and giving them the option to opt out of what they consider "age-inappropriate classroom materials."

It disturbs me that the school principal has no idea what the curriculum is and what aides are being used to teach kids. I'm really bothered that any teacher would use cards like this, curriculum or not, and for not discussing it with a higher authority.
I can only imagine the fear parents of school-age children must feel these days.

I wish you all could get as upset about those kids being blown up in the classroom the other day, as you do about this.
It's kinda disgusting you react to this, but not so much with guns.
