It is disgusting and has no place in schools.
However that being said - this is pure kikery, things have deteriorated to the point that concerned parents are now having to engage in 'reciting word for word' the very thing they are against - that's why imo its gaslighting demoralization.
Is there a better way?
Yes, it should never have been purchased for the school system. Simple.
EDIT: It's not holding anyone to account. Zero interest in going after the authors, zero interest in going after the publishers, zero interest in going after those who authorised procurment.
I understand the need to not have this stuff in schools and why the parents are upset etc , unfortunately the entire system is corrupted and complicit and so are way too many of those in positions of power.

Agreed, but there it is, introduced in the dark of night while no one was watching. Now, how else is there to extract it? Personally I'd fire those who put it there and everyone who resisted removing it ... I'd even charge them with contributing to the delinquency of a minor. They can not be allowed to walk away unscathed.
Exactly, now you're getting where i'm coming from, instead we have well meaning parents engaged in the very thing they're against .
It's like being assaulted and shooting the offending criminal. Most never want to kill another human being, unless certain lines are crossed. Same for parents protecting their kids. I'd feel no shame reading that trash out loud directly at them as a weapon against them - and getting results than escalating to "more permanent" solutions.
