Should Mormons have a right to teach polygamy in public schools?

Question

I am writing a children's book so named, "Don't Call Me An Alien Because I Have Three Mommies and a Daddy." This beautiful book is designed to help the children understand that some children grow up in a polygamist household. "Got Big Love" :) Peace my brothers :)

Answer 1

Whether or not people agree with a social culture or not, it's someone's social culture. So, yes, they should be able to teach polygamy in public schools. I take a lot less issue with some buggy-driving guy with three wives, than I do with homosexuality, yet every kid five and older knows what gay and lesbian means, thanks to public schools. If it's controversial, it's acceptable. If it's something simple, like telling your children why their Mexican classmates don't belong here, or why they just attended their soldier cousin's funeral, be ready to fight. Polygamy??? Have at it, pal. It won't ruffle a feather. If kids can handle knowing their dad touches other men, why would they care if he touches three women?

Answer 2

First of all the title is horrible, what do you know about kids, Why would they use the word alien, sounds more like a book for kids with parents that are immigrants.

Then there of course is seperation of church and public schools. So while you can teach about polygamy, it cant be Mormon religion based.

Now I dont agree with it, but then again others dont agree with homosexuality, and Im fine with that being discussed in schools. Why dont you just write a book that covers all non-traditional households. Lots of kids grow up in multi-parent families.

*but dont forget to warn the 13 year old girls, that its still statuatory rape, even if they are married off

Answer 3

Mormons do not practice polygamy. In the original teachings it was a part of the culture, but it was banned soon after it became illegal. There was a break-off of the Latter Day Saints (LDS) members, a sect that decided to abandon the Mormon religion and practice their own views, including polygamy, and refer to themselves as 'RLDS". But they are not Mormons. It would be great if you could educate yourself about the religion you're trying to slam before you make slurs...because you just come across as an idiot. :)

Answer 4

How about this: You might change the title of that book to "Don't call me an Alien Because I'm Unable to Remove My Cranium From My Rectal Cavity and Have No Knowledge of Anything Except for the Smell of Decay Therein."

This book is designed to speak to butt-heads with severe Rectal-Cranial Displacement Disorder (RCDD) and allow them to feel like they're generally appreciated within the confines of their own buttocks.

Answer 5

You are a liar, a fraud, and a bigot. You are NOT a "Mormon" missionary, and you have no official connection to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

You have posted numerous anti' Mormon "questions" under several user names and you don't fool any one.

I told you we were monitoring your activity, and it is only a matter of time until we discover and reveal your true identity.

Answer 6

What is your problem with Mormons? Mormons do not commit polygamy and if somebody does then that person would be excommunicated from church.

Answer 7

PLEAAASSSSSEEEEEEEEE
Not in a school that is in a state where it illegal!
That is something to teach in the home/church if it is the way you choose to live.
