FULL TITLE: Charlotte schools drop plan to teach book about a boy who wears dresses after sparking a furious backlash from protesters who claimed they were indoctrinating children

A picture book about a boy who wears dresses has been dropped from the curriculum of schools in North Carolina after it triggered a stream of protests from concerned parents.

Schools in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg area were due to teach Jacob's New Dress, by Sarah and Ian Hoffman, to first-graders as part of a lesson designed to discourage bullying.

In the book teachers encourage children in a classroom to put on costumes and imagine themselves as someone different. Jacob puts on a pink dress and says: 'I'll be the princess.'

But administrators this week pulled the book after a teacher alerted the North Carolina Values Coalition, a conservative group which promotes 'traditional values'.

Seems to me that this is sexual bullying of children by Gaystapo recruiting.

This will eventually be approved.

The children indoctrinated in this pagan socialist trash will grow up to be supporters of the concept. Our Republic may be finished in a generation, yet Christians continue to hand wring about this when all the Barna surveys indicate that the conversion rate of Christians -—> humanist in the government school system is at least 80%. Books like these are an abomination, but they are merely a reflection of the underlying worldview of public schooling. Separating our children from this system is the only solution.

The problem is that the freaks on the left are going to start coming out and claiming that hetero scenes where boys wear boy’s clothing, girls, girl clothing, is ‘sexual bullying’ by the ‘heterostapo’

Count on it-

Indoctrination into a lifestyle that promises disease, depression, and death is child abuse. Put the perps behind bars far away from our next generation.

Exactly- they are pushing so fast, and hard on indoctrinating the kids, that they are just throwing everything out there and hoping some of it sticks- and when it does- they will take and run with it pushing for even more deviant crap- claiming discrimination if anyone objects-

Little by little we are losing the moral fabric of this country-

How about a book that tells about a boy who wanted to wear a dress and his parents took him to a psychiatrist and he realized how sick he really was ???

In at least two states it is illegal to take a child to a doctor for that reason.

The majority of school boards and school teachers are left vs. the general population. There will be years where the teachers will full blown libtards.

Parents who send their kids to public schools should expect libtard brainwashing. Christians who send their kids to public schools should expect hedonism taught. The only question imho is the amount of libtardism and hedonism taught. Not the fact that it will be taught.

I think that’s from the same author/book series where this shy boy is being bullied. His dad teaches him how to fight and he stands up to the bully. He has a fist fight, loses yet gains an immeasurable amount of self respect.

Well, that's one trial balloon that's been popped.

Problem is, we need to pop all of them, while they only need to get one through. I'm sure that this fact isn't lost on the liberal left.

Notice how it’s always Jose or Shanieika until it’s about transgender and then it’s a JEWISH name?

I wonder how a book entitled *Muhammad’s New Dress* or *Ahmed’s New Dress* would have gone over?

Like I even need to ask......

Our schools are graduating kids that can barely read and write, speak like they have never been given any instruction, and forget about math and science.
But hey they know that there are 52 genders and that boys can wear a dress. So it all good!
