1) these videos are not for elementary school kids. Just because it says k-12 doesn’t mean that absolutely everything on that website is for K-12. 2) the standards for K-2 definitely do no get into masturbation or sexual readiness. 2) are you being deliberately obtuse? Or are you really dumb AF? MANUFACTURED ISSUE |
Is NJ doing that? No. Good luck keeping your teen boys away from it, though. |
DP, but the sample lesson plans specifically go into gender identity for 1st and 2nd graders. In the Understanding Our Bodies lesson plan for 2nd graders it specifically says "some body parts that mostly just girls have and some parts that mostly just boys have. Being a boy or a girl doesn’t have to mean you have those parts, but for most people this is how their bodies are.” In the first grade lesson plan Pink, Blue and Purple it states one of the objectives is for students to be able to define gender, gender identity and gender stereotypes. You can keep tying MANUFACTURED ISSUE all you want but these lesson plans would not have been stated as options if the educators were opposed to it. The NJ governor stated he will order a review and clarify the standards. |
It is social contagion amongst the girls. It is hipper to be trans than to be a girl. |
No, it’s not “hipper”. The vast majority of girls (and boys) are not transgender. You guys just make crap up because you think it sounds good. |
Has a single school district said they are using those external lesson plans? No. Has a single elementary school shown the masturbation video? No. MANUFACTURED ISSUE |
Question: Why did this organization create lessons for NJ, specifically? |
They are hoping to sell lesson plans. Just like many other educational content creators. They take their content and map to each school standards. |
And why were the lesson plans even listed as options if they agreed it should not be taught? How is it a manufactured issue if it came from their own website? Of course now with the backlash they can pretend they were never going to use the plans. |
You don’t even know what you are posting. The videos are in support of the curriculum. The videos themselves aren’t “lesson plans.” |

You are confused. There are multiple companies trying to sell lesson plans. The OP said that NJ was using the “Pink Purple Blue” lesson plans. That’s what the DP above was referring to. And the earlier PP was sharing videos from the Rutgers Amaze group. NONE OF THE ABOVE ARE BEING USED IN NJ SCHOOLS. |
School districts *might* use those lesson plans. Westfield only just started looking at the curriculum updates. But Murphy is going to review. So unbunch your panties. |
| And yet it is kind of interesting that the Rutgers venture made these videos in the hopes NJ schools would buy them in support of the NJ plan. Clearly, they thought they were just channeling what the plans implied. |
Ok. And? But they aren’t intended for elementary school. NJ is not showing masturbation videos to K-5. |
