Tolerance Program Raises Ire Of Some Vallejo Parents

Parents packed the Vallejo School Board's meeting Wednesday night to express their opposition to an anti-bullying program because they weren't given a chance to review its curriculum or have their child excused from it.

The "Respect for All" program aimed at teaching children tolerance includes three documentary films that are shown to students from kindergarten through high school. The documentaries teach about sexual orientation and alternative families.

Some parents said they felt they were being bullied by the district over the anti-bullying program because they couldn't have their children opt out even though they found some of the content age inappropriate. KTVU
