This x1000. It’s absurd and disturbing. Wth does “feel like a girl or a boy” mean to 1st grader? But I also agree it can’t be discussed here. I think there will be a backlash.

I agree. While I think that it's important to teach students about tolerance for LGBT people, I'm not supportive of what Democrats are doing. Their intense focus on gender identity will only lead to backlash, which will ultimately harm the LGBT community.

Waitaminnit - WHOSE intense focus on gender identity? Are you joking? Because from where I stand the "intense focus" is coming from only one direction, and it ain't the Democrats.

DP. You must be joking. Talk about loon...

We're not the ones having panic attacks on TV and storming school board meetings and the like. Face it, this is just the latest grossly overblown Shiny Object for you people to freak out about now that CRT has faded from the headlines. Your Krazy Klown Kult leaders need a new bugaboo to distract you from the fact that they have Absolutely. No. Actual. Ideas. and this week it's schools acknowledging that LGBT+ kids are a thing that exists in the real world.

Next week: Who knows? Left handed people being Secret Communists? Sure, why not? It's as plausible as any of the other garbage you dolts happily slurp down at the feet of your masters.

You sound completely unhinged. You will see how wrong and in the minority you are and that is not some fringe RWNJs looking for a distraction in about 7 months. Most people want teachers to teach the basics, not waste valuable instruction time on left wing fringe SJW BS. Talk about Krazy Klown Kult - the left and their cause du Jour is it, and they must capture the 5 yo crowd to brainwash for the next 12+ years because any reasonable thinking person above the age of 12 will reject all this nonsense.

Thank you, PP, for writing this so I don't have to. Well said.

Agree. This attitude is so disappointing. Let kids be themselves, play with the toys they enjoy, read the books they enjoy, participate in activities they enjoy & hang out with other kids whose company they enjoy.
I am 40. If I don’t know what feeling like a girl (or boy) means, how on earth will a 7yr old?

Just think.......
NJ seems to think this is something worthy of teaching when we have a horrendous standing in the world WRT math, science, and even English teaching.
Let's have schools teach academics and leave the gender studies - especially in elementary schools - to the parents - where it belongs.

NJ schools are way better than VA schools.

And there are fewer RWNJs per capita.

"Way better"? NJ is #3 and VA is #4.

Some random ranking?

VA is typically middle of the pack. Jumped up to #10 this year.

“Most Americans” don’t live in NJ. Besides, nobody’s getting hurt by this. They might even turn out a few more female STEM professionals by tackling insidious gender discrimination early on. Some people can walk and chew gum at the same time. Their heads don’t explode when you suggest that white, Christian, Herero, natural born men supremacy isn’t the natural order of the world.

won't you get fewer female STEM, as this re-enforces sex stereotypes? You have to "feel" like a woman to be one. So women will avoid fields that make them wonder if maybe they feel like a man?

Oh, FFS.
You know who is getting hurt by this? Parents who don't want their children exposed to the whole "gender is a choice" trope by a 2nd grade teacher.
This does NOTHING to tackle gender discrimination. It is teaching children that it is normal to "choose" a gender. That actually is anti-science.
And, Lord only knows where you are getting your bolded statement from this gender curriculum.

No one is sexualizing second graders. Not sure how you interpret it that way. There’s no mention of sex at all.

You don’t have little kids. This topic is not something 6 year olds are ready for FULL STOP. Even old fashioned basic sex Ed without any kid of gender discussion is not age appropriate. They are too young to understand any of it. If you said 6th GRADE you would get an entirely different response from me but 6 YEARS old is just too young.

Yes. Everything about gender Identity inevitably ends up hurting women or reinforcing pre-feminist stereotypes about women. This is why many democratic women and parents are NOT on board this train.

Six years old is not too young to know proper names for body parts. It’s also not too young to know the basics of sex ed. Plenty of kids live on farms or have younger siblings and have asked relevant questions that adults have answered. Stop stigmatizing science. Furthermore, children need to be educated about privacy and taught that their bodies are their own. The good touch/bad touch lessons fall under the sex ed umbrella and that’s absolutely appropriate for six year olds.

It's baffling, to say the least, that anyone would want to sexualize children, especially second graders. I imagine these LWNJs will find out just how unpopular their wacko agenda is come election time this fall. Sure would be nice if they'd simply focus on academics for once, rather than sexual issues.

No one is sexualizing second graders. Not sure how you interpret it that way. There’s no mention of sex at all.

You don’t have little kids. This topic is not something 6 year olds are ready for FULL STOP. Even old fashioned basic sex Ed without any kid of gender discussion is not age appropriate. They are too young to understand any of it. If you said 6th GRADE you would get an entirely different response from me but 6 YEARS old is just too young.

Six years old is not too young to know proper names for body parts. It’s also not too young to know the basics of sex ed. Plenty of kids live on farms or have younger siblings and have asked relevant questions that adults have answered. Stop stigmatizing science. Furthermore, children need to be educated about privacy and taught that their bodies are their own. The good touch/bad touch lessons fall under the sex ed umbrella and that’s absolutely appropriate for six year olds.

Pretending that being a boy or a girl is something one “feels” instead of being material reality is not science. It’s the opposite of science.
