Minnesota’s New ‘LGBT Education Specialist’ Thinks Teachers Should ‘Explain Nonbinary Identities’ To Preschoolers

(Joking)I'm not one? This is news to me
I recall reading about recommendations from various child experts and psychologists calling for basic sex Ed to start as soon as possible. To prevent sex abuse or to allow students to understand when a line is crossed, so are able to report it.
Relying on parents just allows for abusive scenarios to occur.
I also know that the curriculum tends to teach concepts at younger and younger ages.
Like what I learnt in primary school, the generation above me learnt in high school.
So it could be possible that the curriculum in my country includes sex education for younger and younger grades. Very basic obviously. But perhaps more “in depth” than my generation got
I'm trying to figure out what you mean. Which is it?
- you think that manners and respect shouldn't be taught in schools, or
- you think that manners and respect to cis people, but not to trans and non-binary people, should be taught in schools
But that is the one thing about what one learns during schooling, as to a bit of levelling, given that so many parents will never discuss sexual issues and similar, or perhaps give rather biased views as to certain things. Surely children deserve to have a more neutral education so as for them to decide how they see things for themselves - in later years when they are able.
As long as we have bigots stomping on rainbow flags in front of schools in full view of the kindergarteners, LGBTQ issues are going to come up.

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
I'm fairly sure in your world that kind of thing happens in every school in the country.
Too much knowledge.
It's dangerous to understand too much about gender.
What if the kids become tolerant & inquisitive?
They might ask their parents uncomfortable questions.

If there's one thing our schools should be set up to do, it's make sure there's less understanding.
I, for one, think there's far too much understanding going around these days. I just don't understand it.
That's understandable.
Thankfully, no. The anti-LGBTQ rhetoric that people like you and @We Never Know have swallowed isn't actually that successful at being adopted.

I think learning about different kinds of families would be appropriate for preschoolers. For instance, a working mom and a stay-at-home dad is a good family arrangement, even though it doesn't follow traditional binary stereotypes.
I have no doubt nor relutance whatsoever in supporting this sort of initiative.
It is about time, really.
I wonder which sort of mental acrobatics tries to conclude otherwise.

Indeed. Along with families with two moms, two dads, non-binary parent(s), a grandparent who lives in the home, single parent arrangements, kids being raised by relatives other than parents, etc., etc.
Every child should get a sense of the diversity among families, and every child should be able to see their particular family arrangement reflected in the description of what a "family" is.
You're working from seriously wrong premises here, unfortunately. And expecting others to sacrifice themselves to protect those premises, which is unthinkable.
There is nothing "adult" in learning that there is a LGBTIQ+ spectrum. If anything, learning about nonbinary people specifically is very much appropriate for children who have not yet been exposed to sexism and rigid gender roles.
Teaching kids that gender has a spectrum seems
like ordinary useful knowledge.
It beats the Hell out of what I endured in public
school in the 50s & 60s, eg, Bible stories read
by the teacher, being told that God will get us
if we try to deny him.
No ****. That crap really happened before SCOTUS
put a stop to (most of) it. Christians have long been
trying to use government to push their antiquated
& often evil views upon us under color of authority.
Time for some corrective education that will enable
more tolerance for the square pegs who don't fit
in their round holes.
Dang....phrasing...I might have to fix that last sentence.

Yes, it is an excellent opportunity of accusing Democrats of sexualizing youth, even though nothing sexual besides the same sort of instruction about "sometimes women fall in love with women" and "sometimes men fall in love with men" lines are used to teach children about homosexuality at that age. In other words it is hysteria about teaching children to be decent human beings and nothing more.
