An elementary school in Connecticut is requiring its students to engage in its "Social Justice Lesson Standards" which includes transgender content being exposed to children as early as kindergarten.
Parents are upset, but district officials have informed parents that they will not be allowed to opt-out of the curriculum.
This, while another school district in another state has secretly been training teachers how to sneak teaching about "white privilege" past "Trump Country" parents---while yet another district in another state announces, "It will keep parents in the dark about kids declaring themselves transgender."
Is it time to stand up and be counted for our kids?
Here's why we know the answer is "yes," it's time.
Be informed, not misled.
Warm and fuzzy child abuse.
It's clear that public education has declared your kids, to be their kids. And "Nature's God" to be terribly outdated.
You would think after the fiasco in Louden County Virginia, and all the publicity that followed, government-run education would back off---lighten up at least a bit on their obsession to indoctrinate our kids. But oh, no. Not a chance.
Parents of students attending West Hartford Public Schools are expressing concern over the use of materials being used in the classroom---as young as kindergarten, that introduces little children to transgenderism in positive, creative ways.
One parent is particularly upset about a book taught to fourth graders entitled, "When Aidan Became a Brother," which the parent calls "full-on gender theory" that teaches "biological sex is wrong."
The book's description reads,
"When Aidan was born, everyone thought he was a girl. His parents gave him a pretty name, his room looked like a girl's room, and he wore clothes that other girls liked wearing. After he realized he was a trans boy, Aidan and his parents fixed the parts of his life that didn't fit anymore, and he settled happily into his new life."
Another fourth-grade title is all about pronouns, called "They She HE Me; Free to Be."
And to be sure there's equity in their indoctrination---the 4 and 5-year-old kindergarten kids are also targeted.
The reading list for kindergarteners includes the book, "Introducing Teddy."
The lesson sheet begins:
"One sunny day, Errol finds that Thomas is sad, even when they are playing in their favorite ways. Errol can't figure out why, until Thomas finally tells Errol what the teddy has been afraid to say: 'In my heart, I've always known that I'm a girl teddy, not a boy teddy. I wish my name was Tilly, not Thomas'"...so reads the summary for the children's book list.
This is not education--- it's child abuse.
It's highly organized and developed child abuse.
In a five-page memo dated Oct. 14, Dr. Roszena Haskins, director of equity advancement, wrote "WHPS [West Hartford Public Schools] teaches SEL [Social-Emotional Learning] through an equity lens, adapted from the 'Learning for Justice social justice and anti-bias framework'."
Learning from Justice is a program of the Southern Poverty Law Center and states that its objective is "to be a catalyst for racial justice in the South and beyond, working in partnership with communities to dismantle white supremacy, strengthen intersectional movements and advance the human rights of all people."
Family Research Council, which has been targeted by Southern Poverty Law Center as racist among other things, says the significant portion of Learning for Justice's materials focuses on race and similar CRT-based concepts.
Critical race theory holds that America is fundamentally racist, yet teaches people to view every social interaction and person in terms of race, and whose adherents pursue "antiracism" through the end of merit, objective truth, and the adoption of race-based policies.
The school district's website says,
"We the members of West Hartford Public Schools, dedicate ourselves to the pursuit of equity. Equitable schools are those that value and honor ALL in our community as unique individuals capable of maximizing their true potential. We make a solemn promise to identify and dismantle all elements of systemic racism and historical inequities."
God has also made a solemn promise: "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it."
This is not "the way" he---or she, should go.
One who is in denial would think that this is probably an isolated incident---or at least in just a few schools.
It isn't.
"Sneak teaching" on "white privilege"---getting past "Trump Country" parents
Dr. LaGarrett King, an associate professor at the University of Missouri, said: "I don't advertise to my students when I'm teaching US history that sometimes I would consider myself the anti-US history teacher."
Another teacher complained:
"One of the challenges we run into is we're in a highly conservative county. We are in the middle of Trump country here and any time in my career when we've attempted with staff, attempted with kids, attempted with families to even touch on the concept of white privilege, we get incredible amounts of push back."
Professor King instructed the teachers, "Do we have to use that particular verbiage, or can we use other terminology to kind of get through that. If it's something where you have to not utilize white privilege, or whatever the case may be, then don't use the verbiage.
Takeaway
Professor King, during an online presentation to teachers, declared: "Our official history/social studies curriculum is political and racist"...adding "July 4, 1776, means nothing to black people.'
When the Daily Caller took this to the school district, asking what's going on, they ran for cover.
The explanation was simply, "While Dr. King described courses that way, we have not described our curriculum as such."
That sure brings clarity and gets to the bottom of things, doesn't it?
Parents and grandparents must remain vigilant and informed--- and engaged. Otherwise, your child will be enslaved to a philosophy and worldview that you never knew, nor embraced.
Public education has become a sinister whirlpool that pulls the unsuspecting and uninformed into its destructive clutches.
May God help us.
Be Informed. Be Discerning. Be Vigilant. Be Engaged. Be Prayerful.
