But if someone points out that the law allows a bad practice to occur the response is "get over it, a lot of things in this world are frightening."
The parents' "fear" of something being taught in school has been determined to have more value than others' "fear" of being targeted and discriminated against. Having no dog in the fight, I see this as just a bit hypocritical.
If the law prohibited the explanation of the mechanics of sexual practices I would be right there with you. But it doesn't do that, it prohibits the discussion of sexual orientation. Further, it empowers the parents to sue the teacher if the parents feel the discussion violated the new law. I still contend that this would allow a gay parent to sue over reading Bambi in school since the book mentions mother and father and therefore is obviously a discussion that includes sexual orientation. I think that's foolish and I doubt that was the intent of those who wrote the law, but that is one way the law could be interpreted.

You are free to "contend" that, but the law does not "state" that...
