No "opt out" for teachers or parents.

I resisted posting this video because I did not want to be a scaremonger. But in watching it again, and after reading more of our Ed Code, I see it as completely relevant. Our CA Ed Code says that teachers must acknowledge and support legal marriage. It also says that parents do not have "opt out" rights unless the discussion is graphic and includes details and body parts. A simple discussion of "marriage" is not likely to include that, especially in elementary grades. Therefore, teachers are required to condone any "legal" form of marriage and parents will not be notified of such a discussion, nor will they be able to "opt out."
