At school, students should be able to speak freely and civilly about matters of conscience and faith, including Christianity.

What does "equity in education" mean to you?
Equity in education is when ALL students have access to the resources need to be successful. With that being said, some students may need more resources than others to attain the same level of success.
Written parental consent (opt-in) must be obtained before students are taught courses such as Comprehensive Sex Ed (CSE) or Social Emotional Learning (SEL).

Parental consent should not be needed for SEL. That should be imbedded into everyday learning practices. CSE needs parental consent.
