The Spin

Right narrative

This school board did the right thing. After parents revolted against teaching about inappropriate interactions between an adult and a minor, the board followed the will of its constituents and voted to remove material that's meant to groom children. There's absolutely no need for first-graders to learn about these topics in an official school capacity.

Left narrative

The board majority didn’t follow the will of the people; it followed the will of an evangelical pastor and other right-wing officials who put them in power. The section of the book on Milk – which takes up just half a page – is part of a history lesson on the gay rights movement. This yet is more evidence of conservatives censoring what they don't agree with.
