Say, "Great, you'll make something for your Daddies"...
Gee, that was hard to figure out, wasn't it?

There is no such thing as not discussing gender and gay marriage in early school. Should every drawing in a textbook be a white child with white parents? Could there be one of a black mom and a white dad? or two mommies? Should all the pictures be sure to include a nice cross mounted on the wall? How about a Muslim hajib garbed mommy? Kids will 100% notice if they and their loved ones are not included in the presentation of family, and culture.

None of that deals with "Gender nor Gay marriage", but whatever...

Having one Chanukah song at the Xmas pageant in December did not make the Jewish kids feels seen. It made them "othered" Here is one song for you, weirdo. And while you can remove all references to God systems from the school, you cannot remove all references to what is a family.

Really? It. ever bothered me when I was a kid.
As to your 2nd attempt at a point, the new law does not require removing "all references to what is a family"... Nor does it require that you remove all references to god.

Can the woman teacher have a photo of her spouse on her desk and mention him in passing comments? What if her husband is another woman, can she mention that too?

Nothing in the law says she can't...
