heh, so a notice was provided and it said if you want your child to opt out then let us know.

If only that "dad" had paid attention earlier in the year.

Actually, that's not what it says at all. Take a minute and read the OP.

That's what the asshole dad that got arrested said. I'm inclined to not believe him.

You should try reading it again.

Perhaps you should because the only people claiming that there wasn't a notice beforehand were "outraged" parents.

Still didn't quite get it.

The article is poorly worded, but it seems that the district "will take immediate action to revise these policies to include notification that requires parents to accept controversial material, rather than opt out.”

When did they issue this statement about taking immediate action? Unknown

The policy apparently requires/required parents to accept controversial information, rather than opt out. So he did not have the opportunity to opt out.

Frankly it's bad journalism and bad writing, since we can't tell what the policy was at any specific time or know what the policy is now.

If they did have a policy in place that let parents opt out, I doubt this would be a story.

No, the previous policy was an opt out policy. The new one requires the parent to accept controversial information.

Show me where I missed this information.

I am sure the school board is taking immediate action and not rejecting the claims that the parents did not know the material for the fun of it.

I'm sure Ben Swann attempted to contact the school board about this and just happened to forget to include that he attempted to contact them.
