Washington State public schools have approved health education learning standards that include teaching gender expression to kindergarteners. The new K-12 health and physical education learning standards were quietly adopted by the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) on March 25 without issuance of public notice or press release, according to the Daily Caller.
The Daily Caller reports that the controvesial standards will include teaching "Self-Identity" — which includes educating students on numerous ways to express gender — to students in kindergarten. According to the state’s health education glossary, gender is defined as “a social construct based on emotional, behavioral, and cultural characteristics attached to a person’s assigned biological sex.”
The kindergarten curriculum will also include lessons on “safe and unwanted touch,” but it is not clear whether the lesson plans will include teaching consent.
The Daily Caller also indicates that by third grade, students will be taught that gender roles vary and about gender identity, which the state has defined as “Someone’s inner sense of their gender.”
By the end of elementary school, students will be expected to understand the following:
The range of gender roles and identity
How ideas about gender roles are impacted by friends and family
The impact that media, society and culture can have on one’s understanding of gender roles and identity
How to identify trusted adults to whom students may pose questions regarding gender identity and sexual orientation
At the completion of high school, students will have also learned how to “distinguish between biological sex, gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation.”
Despite the controversial nature of the health standards, OSPI claims it does not seek to indoctrinate students with its own set of beliefs. “Standards help students become familiar with concepts that education experts feel are essential for all students to know,” said Nathan Olson, communications manager at OSPI. “Standards are not used to impose belief systems.”
And yet when the Daily Caller asked whether a student could fail a course if they refuse to accept the notion that gender identity is different from biological sex, Olson vaguely responded that it would be at the discretion of the district/school level.
Olson added, “We don’t exactly know what a school would do if a student failed to complete an assignment because he/she opposed the materials being taught.”
It's unclear whether parents in Washington were aware that the changes had been adopted. Though the standards were finalized in March, a quick perusal of OSPI’s website reveals that the department has not issued a press release regarding the changes.
It's likely that the new standards will provoke backlash from parents in Washington, as parents throughout the country have found themselves embroiled in struggles over how schools handle sexual identity and transgenderism, both educationally and socially.
Last month, for example, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia provoked ire from parents after it released a report recommending changes to the district’s family life curriculum for grades 7 through 12 that involved lessons on the notion of sexual fluidity and spectrum. The recommendations asked schools to teach students that there are no 100 percent boys or girls.
Likewise, 11 states are currently suing the Obama administration over guidelines regarding which school bathrooms transgender students may use. The federal guidelines tell schools to allow students to use bathrooms based on the gender identities with which they identify, not based on the sex with which they were born.
And despite claims by the Obama administration and various school districts that all these new LGBTQ guidelines are intended to foster understanding and prevent discrimination in schools, experts indicate that these efforts are doing a disservice to students' mental health.
According to a position statement released by the American College of Pediatricians (ACPeds) released a position statement on March 21 entitled “Gender Ideology Harms Children,” any policies that foster the belief that gender dysphoria is anything beyond a psychological problem are in fact harmful. As such, schools and lawmakers should “reject all policies that condition children to accept as normal a life of chemical and surgical impersonation of the opposite sex. Facts — not ideology — determine reality,” the statement asserts.
The authors of the position statement make several scientific observations, including that human sexuality “is an objective biological binary trait." Children who use hormones to attempt to mimic a sexuality that is not their own have a number of dangerous physical and mental risks, the position statement advises, adding that “conditioning children into believing a lifetime of chemical and surgical impersonation of the opposite sex is normal and healthful” should be classified as child abuse.
The authors' position is logically well-grounded. When a boy identifies as a girl, or vice versa, he is clearly delusional and needs mental help, not support for his delusion, in the same manner that a normal-sized child who believed he was too fat and refused most food (anorexia) would be given counseling to change his behavior. The same would hold true if the child habitually over-ate, had a poor attention span (ADHD), were depressed, or believed he were a dog, cat, or tree. The only difference between these mental maladies and "transgenderism" is politics.
But that position has not stopped schools from forging ahead with their agendas. Washington State public schools' new health curriculum standards are scheduled to be implemented by the fall of 2017.
The DOE needs to be dismantled and quickly and while we're at it dismantle all of the ABC departments of this evil central socialist government. The reason all this crap is being thrown in our faces is in order to focus our attention on something else that is even more sinister, if that is possible.
Blame the Fruitcake who some refer to as president and blame the Democrat Party as well as those complicit in the Republicrat Party.
No wonder those tumbling out of government schools are functionally illiterate.
Your children, in your state are going to be taught LIES about one of the most important facts of life.
Happy about that?
My kids were home schooled, thank God.
Logically, only socialist parents would ever incarcerate children with socialist indoctrinators, let along the new evolution of demonic downloaders.
These people should be in prison for child abuse.
Does anyone else wonder how fast all this is going?
It is almost as if they had a plan in place and as soon as the word was given, multiple government and private agencies jumped right in to promote this agenda.
No one is asking the general public what they think about all this (mainly because they know they would be against it).
As for schools, once control shifted from the local level to state and federal, all was lost.
Which would certainly not include such concepts as the good, the true, and the beautiful.
Recipe for coercion/intimidation by thought police "educators".
Are there that many queers in Washington?
...and so goes YET ANOTHER REASON TO HOME SCHOOL
We’d be surprised.
Mostly what we have here are sycophants. They’re liberal and think that homosexuals and lesbians are normal. Therefore, we can assume that they believe that when a man shoves his pee-pee up another’s poo-poo and calls it love that is perfectly normal.
We’ve been watching videos of Hillary’s coughing spells lately. It appears that she is attempting to cough up a gigantic hairball. We can only wonder how this could happen.
Schools in Washington Adopt Controversial Learning Standards Regarding Gender for K-12 Students
The state will teach little Tommy just because he happens to have balls doesn’t mean he is a boy if he feels he likes to be a gal. When stupidity is taken to the N-th degree sooner or later something will give, and rest assured this crap can only go on for so long before something is going to give and it will.
Who will be the first to say “only Islam can save us...”?
>>It is almost as if they had a plan in place and as soon as the word was given, multiple government and private agencies jumped right in to promote this agenda.
They do have a plan. They put their people in place and each one knew that it was their duty to push the agenda with everything they have once the “Go” signal was received.
The election of Obama was the sound of the attack whistle being blown. Like any mass attack, they took a lot of initial casualties, but they kept feeding people into the fight. The defenders relaxed at the signs of our initial victories, but they just kept coming!
But we pushed them back, until the second front opened last year when many of our allies in the conservative movement put on the enemy uniform and attacked our flanks and rear.
Now we’re surrounded folks. Fix bayonets.
And yet when the Daily Caller asked whether a student could fail a course if they refuse to accept the notion that gender identity is different from biological sex, Olson vaguely responded that it would be at the discretion of the district/school level.
The recommendations asked schools to teach students that there are no 100 percent boys or girls.
Pure insanity. Your biological gender shapes your brain and the way you think just as absolutely as it shapes your genitals. Yes, you are 100% boy or 100% girl (unless you are one of those rare individuals who developed from two embryos, and they were male and female, or you have some other medical condition). The only way you find male cells in a woman is if she has ever been pregnant with a male child.
Despite what these advocates of making children mentally ill claim, there is no fluidity to gender. The social constructs that surround gender arose because of the biologically driven gender behaviors--they are not inventions of society, as these "educators" seem to believe.
What is all this malarkey about "assigned biological sex"? What do they think happens--that the baby in the womb is in a Schrodinger state, neither male nor female, and when the baby is born, the doctor pronounces "boy" and a formless substance between the child's legs suddenly coalesces into male genitalia? Or vice versa, if the doctor pronounces "girl"?
The people who come up with this stuff are insane, and have no business being around children or working in any capacity that affects children. The source of the insanity is Barack Hussein Obama. The country takes its mood from the president, and the mood it has taken from this president is dark and ugly. I can't wait until we have a sane president again.
At this rate, it won’t be long before parents have to undergo gender identity training in the delivery room in order to assign gender to be recorded on the birth certificate.
Snowflake 101.
The continuing neutering and queering of America.
To rip apart our social fabric (along with importing sick, mooselimb ‘refugees’).
These people are internal enemies of America. Threat them as such.
Obama and the entire central socialist government are enemies of the American people.

“How to identify trusted adults”? Pedophiles?
There seem to be quite a few. Notice how many female bureaucrats have male haircuts. Obama’s dancy-prancing and hissing are quite sissified.
