In other words, Texas AG works to prevent government schools from observing quasi-religious celebrations. Zealots angered that their faith is being disestablished from government institutions.
What exactly is the argument for compelling a captive audience of other people's children to participate in an ideologically fraught event like Pride?

Attorney's statement:
"By hosting 'Pride Week,' your district has, at best, undertaken a week-long instructional effort in human sexuality without parental consent. Or, worse, your district is cynically pushing a week-long indoctrination of your students that not only fails to obtain parental consent, but subtly cuts parents out of the loop," Paxton said. "Either way, you are breaking state law."

I don't see it as instruction in human sexuality I see pride week as helping people to learn Tolorance for those that have different ideals than them.

That's a bit reductive given the relevance of sex education in general and facets understandably pertaining to it concerning sexual orientation and gender manifestation.

Well, you can demonstrate tolerance by acknowledging the concerns of people who don't agree with you and don't want your position preached in the public school system.
