North Carolina School System Pulls Book About a Boy in a Dress
NY Times ^ | March 24, 2017 | Christopher Mele

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools system in North Carolina was going to use a book about a boy who likes to wear dresses as part of a first-grade lesson on what to do when someone is bullied.

But school administrators this week pulled the book, “Jacob’s New Dress,” after critics complained about its content.

The book came under fire from the North Carolina Values Coalition, a conservative group that promotes “pro-family positions,” according to its website.

I am surprised Charlotte--Mecklenburg "caved in". Full blown indoctrination in the disguise of anti-bullying. Hat tip Rod Dreher at American Conservative.,

Did Jacob change his name to Juliet afterwards? (cf. the Evancho family)

Most of the calls now for children’s books are for stories about immigrants, muslims, transgenders, LGBQTetc., feminism, etc.

Those topics are trendy and so will get bought by school libraries — hence guaranteeing a large press run.

And so, publishers will not hesitate to publish them.

And thus the indoctrination grinds on ...

Of course, only “pro-family positions “was in quotes, as if the ones pushing the transsexual agenda were utterly reasonable, but the group trying to shield their little kids from this crap are nuts.

Anti-Bullying programming is the homosexual “plan” to normalize their perversions in Christian children. They make “discrimination” into “evil” (embed hate for anyone who “hates” “evil”) even if it is to condemn evil vile use of others, like sodomy always is, or evil acts/behaviors.

It is to flip 2000 years of ethics to the pagan, satanic ethics where Boys are Girls, and Vice is Virtue and Sodomy is a Ba’al Rite to be used on babies and little children and child-sacrifices. The program destroys the ethics of Christianity (the only Logical and Reasoned religion which created Common Law and Rule of Law (US Justice System)).

Little children have to be warped and groomed for perverse ideologies of slavery. Vice creates Slaves only (Socrates/Aristotle/Founders). Virtue formation is essential for Freedom-—so they have to destroy virtue formation (and sexual identity formation) in little children when they are young to warp their perceptions and desires.

F*** That’s why my brother always asks my nephews and nieces what liberal crap if any are taught in their school.

They should fire anyone and everyone who advocated this perversion be thrown at these children.

Time to quit putting up with this BS.

FTA: “What the North Carolina backlash tells us is that our book is needed, he wrote. “Our hope, when we wrote this book, was that some day it would be considered quaint. We imagined future generations saying, ‘What was the fuss about?’ Clearly, there’s more work to do.”
What a smug, self righteous POS Hoffman is. Like saying the backlash to 9/11, Ft Hood, the terror attack in London is why more islamic terrorism is needed? Too many people not conforming to what THEY say is normal. Speaking of anti-bullying programs, they worked just fine protecting that girl who was raped in the bathroom of her HS by those illegals didn't they? I like to know where was Lady Caca with her Born this Way foundation, Miley Cyrus and all the a**hole celebs who love to throw their star power behind these meaningless anti-bullying campaigns. They didn't pretend to reach out to that girl.

"...group that promotes “pro-family positions,” ..."

Only a mentally-ill-liberal mind thinks that is a bad thing.

Good catch by the parents. How many schools are using this book and others just like it without anyone noticing? Go after the kids always go after the kids to fix their minds from the terrible things they learn at home.

So many plans were in motion relying on Hillary’s coronation.

Although disguised and justified as a book related to bullying, the gay agenda book gets pulled from the school.......

And thus the indoctrination grinds on as other more damaging books are replacing a single book while hundreds more are waiting in the wings.
