Sarah spoke about the WhatsApp group she was a member of until recently, a group made up of female kindergarten teachers from all over the country and whose purpose is to transfer information, opinions and discourse of kindergarten teachers from all over Israel and facilitating internal discussions concerning the education of the children.
"Before Family Day, the group only came up with materials, playful stories that pertain to LGBT and single-parent families," says Sar-Shalom, noting that the characteristics of the materials were all the normalization of life in homes where the parents are of the same sex. She likewise mentioned that in her opinion, there is no reason to raise the issue with kindergarten students.
"I responded with a surprised smiley and asked why teach this content when there are other values that pertain to Family Day," she says and describes the aggressive and non-inclusive responses she received.
