Parents in Rocklin, California were horrified to discover that a teacher led a kindergarten-age classroom discussion on transgenderism that included introducing a five-year-old who was transitioning from male to female.
Children at Rocklin Academy were subjected to readings from two storybooks about transgenderism. At some point, the teacher introduced a classmate who changed clothes for the big gender reveal.
"These parents feel betrayed by the school district that they were not notified," Capitol Resource Institute's Karen England told CBS News in Sacramento. "The kindergartners came home very confused, about whether or not you can pick your gender, whether or not they really were a boy or a girl."
Parents were not given advance notice of the lesson nor were they given the opportunity to opt-out of the classroom activity.
"My daughter came home crying and shaking so afraid she could turn into a boy," one parent told CBS News.
The school district defended the lesson -- saying the books were age-appropriate. The district also said under state law they are not required to notify parents when their children are being indoctrinated on gender identity. Additionally, the district said parents do not have the right to opt-out of the classroom discussions.
Teachers also defended the controversial classroom discussion.
"When we head in the direction of banned books or book lists, or selective literature– that should only be read inside or outside the classroom, I think that's a very dangerous direction to go," Kelly Bryson told CBS.
People should be alert to the danger being introduced to their kids. I never thought about it much when my kid was little but I guess I should have been on alert all the time.
My granddaughter is in Kindergarten in this sick sick twisted perverted school district.
Pray for her.
He's a bright, honest journalist on the vein of Paul Harvey, if you're old enough to remember him, with the same winsome ways!
Child abuse.
In California schools, “child abuse” is a normal part of the leftist curriculum.
I’m reading between the lines on this article, but it appears that this school thought that bringing it down to a child’s level was telling them, “you could turn into a boy” or “you could turn into a girl”. Go to bed one night and overnight you could turn into the other sex by morning.
It’s telling kids the monster in the closet is real.
These are truly depraved people.
“Harm one of these little ones it would be better to have a millstone around your neck and be cast into the sea.’
When I was in Jr. High School, I watched a parent walk up to a Football Coach and punch him in the face for something bad the Coach did.
The Coach was simply a good man who did a bad thing and got called on it.
There were no cops, no repercussions because the Coach, the Principal (who tried to defuse the situation) and the parent were good men with morals .
Perhaps we need to bring back instant Karma to the world.
Exactly.
If these perverts do not repent, they will come face to face with an exceedingly angry Christ Who will send them to the eternal flames.
Sin angers Him on general principle but this sin is expressly singled out for an exceptionally severe judgment.
