Moral Outrage

[Shadow Wolf]

Because at that point, it's really about indoctrinating children with an ideology. No, "black and white molds of gender and sexuality" don't need to be broken and that's certainly not a conversation to be having with kids. Almost all males will grow up to men with sex-typical behavior, and same for females. We don't have to upend society because a tiny number of people, me included, are exceptions to the rule. Leave them alone to be kids. That's more a debate (and I do mean debate, as what they say isn't settled science) to have in a sociology class or at least high school, if we're going to have it all, not with 5 year olds. Kindergartners are supposed to be learning their ABCs and taking lots of naps.

Teachers should not be acting as activists and forcing their views on children. They should be as unbiased as possible in their lessons, when it comes to political issues. Parents have the right to object to such things. You go to school to be taught facts and how to think correctly (using reason and logic), not to be told what to think or question your entire identity.

It's just going to lead to more confusion and people being mislead, because a lot of what these gender activists are saying isn't even true. At this point, they don't even accept that biological sex is real or that there's neurological and psychological differences between males and females, even though we know damn well there are and we can see this with our own eyes. What makes me even more angry is how they pretend to represent trans people, when we damn sure aren't all on board with this. Even I'm becoming homophobic and transphobic due to the antics of the radicals shoving nonsense down people's throats, and I'm bisexual and trans! Lol. (Not really, I'm just sick of it and prefer to distance myself from it as much as possible.)

That's a lot to infer from a simple assignment that mentioned none of this.
And, again, why shouldn't the conversation be opened early as to what it means to be a boy/man or girl/woman? It's not indoctrination to have people put a little thought into it, and it would probably do society as a whole some good to do away with rigid expectations of what men and women are to be like, and to learn and understand our value, worth and who we are is much more than what we have between the legs and the ability to reproduce.

Regardless if we should have that discussion or not, it doesn't belong in elementary schools. 5 year olds are still just recognizing that boys and girls are two different things and just starting to understand those things. Let them be. That's a discussion for adults to have, since we're the ones who seem the most lost about those subjects in the first place.

Learning that boys and girls are different goes along with learning about what makes boys and girls.

First graders given gender identity worksheet, told people can be neither or both genders

People are outraged at Gender Identity instruction in kindergarten....

I don't think it's all that inappropriate to teach them She/He and They...... And what that means.

Maybe I'm missing something.

I don’t understand the problem. Should they be allowed to teach them what the words/symbols on bathroom doors mean? Or would that be inappropriate?

I don't get the issue either. *Shrug*

I think teachers should stop dismembering children to feed them to their peers. It's a gruesome practice that is in no way justified by the US Constitution no matter what anybody says, and it should be stopped once and for all. And to everyone who disagrees with my post, I ask: Why do you support child cannibalism?
