We have a close family friend that is trans and my 2nd grader understands that she identifies as a woman, but was once a man. This has not confused my child. I think children are capable of understanding a diversity of human experiences... Far more capable than many adults.

Children’s brains are not fully formed, hence they are susceptible to indoctrination, brainwashing, and all kinds of ridiculous manipulation. It’s why they are targeted by activists for their nonsense, most adults know better.

Of they are susceptible to indoctrination, brainwashing, and all kinds of ridiculous manipulation, the first thing to be removed from every school is the reciting of the pledge.

Students aren’t required to pledge allegiance to the flag. In Maryland, parents were not allowed to opt the children out of controversial sex and gender discussions. Get it now?

Youre homophobic, do you see that? Gay kis come from straight parents. Christians and homophobic parents will have gay kids. Making inclusive sex ed available to every child ensures everyone is covered, even those with homophobic parents and no safe place to get age appropriate information elsewhere.

No I don’t see that. Please provide evidence for homophobia in what I wrote. I’ll wait.

Because a) they believe being LBGTQ is a choice on some level b) they’re afraid of their kids being LGBTQ and so they want all references removed out of fear their child will be “convinced.”

People have a right to shape the moral thinking of their children.

It’s not a morality issue though.

In what world is it not?! Get real.

Morality implies choice. Being gay is not a choice.

Being gay is a choice.
You choose who you want to have sex with. Your choices are also influenced by the environment you live in.
You can like brunettes or blondes; men or women.
The factors that determine the type of people we are attracted to are all the same. An homosexuality gene or trait doesn’t exist.

DP. Do you think it okay for the kids to have to watch/listen/read a picture book that tells them that the doctor guesses what gender they are at birth--and that the doc sometimes makes mistakes?

How would you feel if we went back to teaching creationism and you could not opt out?

Take it up with your school board. Maryland parents did so and now they have won.

Good times.

Don't muddy the waters with facts, logic and reason.

Or how about don’t change the subject. Just go ahead and admit you are a culture warrior.

How is it changing the subject to acknowledge that as schools keep trying to teach about gender and sexuality issues, our international test scores in math and reading and science have fallen plummeted? There are only so many hours in the school day for instruction.

OP here - agree. I don’t care if a word problem says Dan and Matt have $50 to spend on gas to get them to Philly for their nephews bar mitzvah. It costs $6 a gallon. How much will it cost to get there?


That doesn’t require a sexuality discussion. It’s just what you might see in society. It’s a fact.

Math teacher here. I posted on the page before this. I don’t care about that either and am fine with your example. Where I have an issue is when people come into my room with pressure to hang up posters for pride month (when it’s not even June because we don’t have school in June) and to support other causes and then insinuate I’m MAGA or R because I don’t allow any hanging up of anything other than my own posters in my room. Like my content posters. This is what is happening in schools today.

OP here. I am totally fine with this.

OP - what exactly are you "fine" with? Because I am not fine with this "pressure" at all. This pressure started when my kids were in HS....the whole BLM movement....and pressure to make their Instagram profile all black...and that if they didn't it meant they were racist.

Everyone has the right to display a pride flag on their private property.
Everyone has the same equal right to not display a pride flag on their private property. That doesn't mean they don't respect LGBTQ+.

When did it become wrong to make this statement: I don't believe in the LGBTQ+ lifestyle but to each their own -- you do you. I still respect LGBTQ+ and believe they deserve equal rights.

This "pressure" is everywhere, and it's wrong. The "pressure" to believe in and fully embrace/accept the LGBTQ+ lifestyle is real. The "popularization/pressure" and "trend" to join the LGBTQ+ lifestyle is real. Wrong.

My white boys went to Wilson (and then JR) and have never once put a black profile or did rainbows, and not once have they been accused of being racist or anti-gay or felt a modicum of pressure to do so. In fact, I’m IG friends with their best friends (including 2 who went to GDS) and I haven’t seen any of that from any of them. I mostly see poorly lit photos of them hanging out or acting totally stupid. Not a single one has questioned their sexuality or had anxiety about this. They’re still goofy white guys whose circle includes boys or all colors and religion and sexuality, as well as girls.

There’s no indoctrination or pressure. It’s made up because you have anxiety. We’ve told our kids that they have privilege and to use it for good. Do they like everything or agree with everyone? No. But if it’s an article in the school paper or a critique of something in a discussion, like most normal, well-adjusted people, they let it roll off their backs. The world doesn’t revolve around them.

Your experience of not feeling pressure isn’t everyone’s and likely stems from the fact that your moral and political views align with the administration’s (your teaching on “privilege” is an indicator). Just as a Jewish student doesn’t need to accept a teacher leading a Christian prayer in class, so does a Muslim parent not need to tolerate a teaching in a Maryland classroom on gender as a person’s “guess.”

Um, sorry. I don’t tell my kids what to think. Me telling them about privilege is what I think, whether they heed that or not is on them. Neither are fully aligned with me politically. Yet, still no pressure. You totally glossed over the part where they don’t freak out if there’s an article in the paper about something they don’t agree with. We’re also not talking about prayer, and I applaud you standing up for Muslim’s rights, but I hope you are also outraged at racism against them, deportations against them.

Are you so racist that you are suggesting the Muslims in the Maryland case were illegals? Why would you think that?

And their children lose. More teachers will leave the profession. Congrats. But also any content especially offensive Christian content can also be opted out and should be removed.

My child has heard all about creationism because he has a diverse group of friends and kids dont hide things from each other. We've also told him to not step on other's beliefs when he's told something he knows not to be true because these beliefs are important to them and their family. We can handle it. Why cant you talk to your child about gay sex and what your home thinks of it like we do with kids who believe Adam and Eve were the first humans?

There is no evidence that teachers leave the profession because their parents opted them out of sex and gender discussions. Get real. Maryland never even alleged that when the opt out was in force. Also the parents in this case were Muslim not Christian. But of course you knew that.

It’s none of your business whether other parents are discussing gay sex with their kids. You aren’t the child’s parent! Stay in your lane. This encroachment is exactly what the backlash is all about.

NP. Um - you just hit the nail on the head.....because that is not how it's being taught at all. It's not being taught that gender identity is a belief....that it's ok to believe that your gender identity matches your biological sex of male/female/intersex (that you are either a boy or girl). What they are teaching is that gender identity is fluid from the beginning...a belief that not everyone agrees with....that all gender identity beliefs should be respected. That is not how its being taught. That is the problem.

There is even a break among some gays and lesbians on this....a gay man is still a man - he identifies as a man...a lesbian woman is still a woman - she identifies as a woman. I'd love to hear from some gays/lesbians here on DCUM about what they think of this gender identity/pronoun push among the extreme liberal/progressives. I mean seriously....it has gone too far.

Homeschooling works for parents who want to control every aspect of their child's education.

Nope.

SCOTUS just acknowledged that parents don’t have to pull their kids out to taxpayer funded schools simply to maintain their proper role in their children’s lives and educations. It’s the school that has to adjust and allow opt outs, not the parents.
