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."

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.
