In the states of California, New Jersey, Colorado, and Illinois, a new requirement has been introduced to teach LGBTQ history in the schools.
An article in Education Teacher Week, Four States Now Require Schools to Teach LGBT History reported that, "Democratic Governor J. B. Pritzker signed House Bill 246 into law Aug. 9 [which] mandates that history classes in public schools “include a study of the roles and contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people in the history of this country and this State, which not only pressured students to learn about sexual actives and abortion at a young age, but enforced mischief and compels them to begin sexual behavior during childhood.”
Is there a way what was published can be reworded into that”
According to the article, any textbooks bought with state funding must cover “the roles and contributions” of LGBT people, and can’t include content that is discriminatory to any particular gender or sexual orientation.”
A Daily Signal writer of California Parents Powerless Against School District’s LGBTQ Content, Emails Show sheds light on the Murrieta School District in California, reporting that children are required to participate in classes containing LGBTQ content and historical references.
This became a shock to some parents within that school district as not only were they unable to opt out from these classes, they were also informed, by the conservative group Our Watch, according to the article.
“Progressive sex education programs in California [are] teaching children about oral sex, masturbation, role-playing, and instructing students on how to obtain abortions without parental consent," the publication reported.
This information is being distributed to children between the grades of K-12, which not only pressures students to learn about sexual activities and abortion at a young age. This not only enforces mischief, but compels them to begin sexual behavior during childhood.
According to The Christian Post report, California's sex ed guidelines are 'shocking' and 'medically risky' for kids, teacher says “[girls the age of 10 and 11 are being forced to have] condom relay races, in front of boys [and] they’re being taught how to put a condom on an erect adult male penis model.”
The publication interviewed Rebecca Friedrichs, the founder of For Kids & Country who reportedly explained why (students) cannot opt out of the gender identity lessons.
“The unions and their allies have labeled that anti-bullying. It’s this anti-bullying campaign so that LGBT children don’t get bullied because they claim there’s this big problem with bullying of those children," said Friedrichs, according to The Christian Post article.
In addition, according to the report, kindergarten through third grade children will learn about about gender identity and they’ll be taught about masturbation in fourth through sixth grade. In the same interview, Friedrichs reportedly said teachers have conveyed to her plans to take a couple of months off from work to avoid having to teach the curriculum.
So from the birds and bees conversation we have resorted to talking about oral sex and abortion to young kids. This curriculum at these schools will also allow the students to learn about the 71 genders that exist, and perhaps a child will decide at age seven they will identify as non-binary.
How these kids grow up understanding their bodies and identity is no longer in the hands of science, fact, or truth. Instead, it is in the hands of required curriculum in schools, the ACLU, and Planned Parenthood, both, according to The Christian Post article, among reports, are having a say on the implementation of LGBTQ curriculum.
How will the implementation of LGBTQ curriculum affect your child? What will you do about it?
