First graders exposed to book about transgender boy—without parental notification
LifeSiteNews ^ | 5/1/15 | Fr. Mark Hodges

KITTERY POINT, ME, May 1, 2015, (LifeSiteNews.com) – Parents at one Maine school are upset that children as young as six were exposed to a book promoting transgender issues, in the name of "acceptance."

Parents were not only not consulted, they were never even notified of their children's exposure to transgenderism.

Horace Mitchell Primary School read the book I Am Jazz to first-grade students. The book is about a boy who identifies as a girl from the age of two, "with a boy's body and a girl's brain." He eventually finds a doctor who tells his parents, "Jazz is transgender."

Parents began to inquire about what was being taught at Horace Mitchell Primary after children came home with questions about their own sex and wondering if they, too, might be transgender.

One mother, upset that teachers would broach the subject of transgenderism with her little boy, said the primary school ignored her complaint. "I feel like my thoughts, feelings and beliefs were completely ignored...My right as a parent to allow or not allow this discussion with my child was taken from me," she told Hannity.com.

"When I spoke with the principal he was very cold about it," the mother continued. "It's amazing how thoughtless the school has been with this whole thing."

Only after Sean Hannity made national inquiries did Horace Mitchell Primary School suggest that teachers should have told parents ahead of time.

Allyn Hutton, the superintendent of the local district, said she supported reading the book but admitted that parents should have been given advance warning about the subject matter. "We have a practice of – if a topic is considered sensitive – parents should be informed. In this situation, that didn't happen," she said. "We understand that toleration is tolerating people of all opinions."

Horace Mitchell Primary School sent an e-mail, after the fact, to concerned parents, including a link to a blog post of the school's guidance counselor, explaining their motivation was "cultivating respect."

"Some may think primary school students are too young to worry about addressing issues surrounding gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) students. Not so, experts say,” the school's guidance counselor wrote. “It’s never too early to begin teaching children about respecting differences."

Homosexual activists say they support the teaching of transgenderism to first-graders, with or without parental notification. "The staff of Mitchell School is...shedding a light on [LGBTQ] issues,” said a column in Gay Star News.

The LGBT puublication goes even further, advocating homosexual propaganda be commonplace in elementary schools across the country. "LGBTQ issues should never be classified as a 'sensitive subject,' [because] there is nothing sensitive about the way we are born. Blonde hair, brown hair, gay, straight or somewhere in-between."

Brian Camenker of MassResistance commented on the infiltration of homosexual propaganda in children's schools. "We deal with parents and teachers a lot, and the idea that teachers would do this is unconscionable. It's like the people that promote this stuff are evil. It's demonic. You can't imagine adults that would do this to other people's children, and do it with such anger, and such vitrol.”

Camenker emphasized that this is “not an isolated incident with just one, rogue teacher. This happens because the whole administrative hierarchy buys into it.”

“The new generation of educators is very, very frightening,” he said.

And this is what the homosexual agenda is about, they want to convince EVERYONE that they should be a homosexual.

As long as people pay for it, they will keep getting it. And, sadly, so will their kids.

Sexualizing our youngest children is a major accomplishment by the Left. Children this young have no idea and aren't curious about sex. I do not believe that the LGBT crowd have ANY sexual thoughts at 2, 3, 4, or even 5. But it always sounds good to Big Media, doesn't it? My heart breaks for the kids.......parents aren't even given a chance to protect them from the Gaystapo when the Gaystapo controls Education.

Liberal educators know how to raise our kids better than we do. And, they will force their agenda on us regardless of consequences.

These so-called educators are disgusting pieces of human trash.

Any one of them who attempts to abuse their position of authority to spread their disgusting sexual perversion in any school to students of any age should be imprisoned as a sexual pervert and never allowed near children again.

They know that if they can imprint young impressionable minds with an idea it is much more likely to take hold than if they wait until children are older and more able to evaluate information and make value judgements.

More bullying from the left. Eventually they’ll be forcing kids to have homosexual sex with adults just to show them what it’s like.

See? “Tolerance” is never the goal. Now, it’s “Acceptance”. But that’s not it either. We’re moving on to “Celebration” and “Silencing Dissent”.

If they are really born that way, the real solution will come in the future when children can be fixed in the womb. Western Civilization is being torn down brick by brick before our very eyes.

This sort of thing has been happening for years. I was complaining about it 15 years ago. Where has everybody been. Bach then there was hope but no one would believe it.

First transgender kids club in Missouri
As per this article on Children’s Hospital in St. Louis, inpatient screenings will include gender questions (just in case parents don’t know their own child is “struggling” with gender identity.

“...Just 5 years ago schools and families didn’t talk about transgender children as openly as they do today. Children’s hospital just added gender questions to their health screenings for inpatients. They goal is to identify children who are struggling.”

Sex Ed was designed by Cultural Marxists to destroy Virtue formation in children. Sex Ed is the easiest way to make slaves for the State and destroy the worldview of Christianity which created the Age of Reason and the US Constitution.

Christian Ethics is the most rational and just ethics system in the history of Man. It led to the most free and flourishing cultures. Marxists knew they had to kill God to destroy Freedom——that means change worldview of children (remove biological connections and put children in institutions to be programmed (dehumanized))-—and Sex Ed can literally flip Good and Evil in one geneartions and create immoral adults which will collapse Freedom. Sex Ed embeds warped, evil perceptions of self and others and destroys “Purpose” and innocence and creates cynicism and undermines parental authority.

Freedom is impossible without moral people. We have known this in Western Civ since the Greek Masters. Combined with Christianity, the Greek Philosophy was perfected (as much as possible). Because of St. Thomas A., Natural Law Theory is embedded into Christianity; there is no contradiction between the Bible and the Laws of Nature because God is the author of both. That is why the US Constitution was so perfect: our Justice (virtue) System was based on God’s Laws: the most perfect, flourishing way to live in unity (love) which is only possible with Objective Truth (never moral relativism).

Innocence is essential to normal sexual identity formation. ALL curriculum Sex Ed deforms and warps children during Latency (6-13) and before, because it destroys moral formation and fixates them on sex (objectifies people and reduces people to a sex organ detached from morality). This destroys what makes sex “moral” which is intimacy and privacy and wonder—that which is essential for morality in sex.

Wonder and mystery and dignity is essential for human sex, but does not exist for dogs. (That is what “operant conditioning’ is for (Common Core)-—so your children are like dogs (no Reason, all base instincts rule). Sex Ed reduces sex to a meaningless act and now they explicitly teach children as young as 3, that perversions are “Good” (lies) which destroys Reason, as well as moral formation.

Freud stated: “The absence of the barrier of compassion brings with it the danger that the connection between cruelty and the sexual instincts may prove unbreakable”. This destruction of compassion in children, that which is essential to control cruelty impulses is done with sex education, which interferes with moral formation because “sexual energies” are stirred up (unnaturally) which disturbs moral and intellectual development which is essential during latency. “Persons whose compassionate feelings are destroyed during latency by sex education are frequently devoid of (compassion) this emotion”. Dr. Melvin Anchell.

The homosexual Nazis are examples of adults who were sexualized early (warped) so had the ability to do the most inhumane things to others, including women and children and babies. You see it with the pedophile Kinsey, too, absolutely no compassion for babies being brutalized. You see it with John Maynard Keynes-—a sodomite who had homosexual orgies which included young boys—and thought it was “love” to rape and even castrate little boys.
