Nowadays, we don't know what to think.

California may not be able to build basic 19th century technology like a railroad, but boy they know how to cram down indoctrination in a fashion that would make gulag guards proud.
The California Department of Education is working on new “health guidelines” — which are neither healthy nor mere guidelines — in a proposed Health Education Framework. This framework covers new educational resources that teach children to reject the old-fashion two-gender stereotype and instead embrace a plethora of ever-expanding gender options.
One recommended resource is a booklet entitled “Who Are You?” This lovely teaching tool explains to students that there are at least 15 genders from which they can choose, depending on how they feel about themselves at the time. The booklet helpfully teaches children — who, let us remember, are sent to the schools specifically to learn what they are taught — that it is impossible for anyone to determine whether a baby is a boy, a girl or something else.
As one excerpt in the guidelines states: “Babies can’t talk, so grown-ups make a guess by looking at their bodies.”
Guess? This teaching material is as anti-science as it it comes. Of course genitals are a pretty strong indicator of a baby’s sex. Hormones, also. But the undeniable, unchangeable, scientific home-run is chromosomal structure. Genetics cannot be altered as the rest eventually can be. This means that, with a few extraordinarily rare conditions, there are only two genders: XX and XY.
Not surprisingly, California’s planned guidelines — in schools of instruction for students, remember — do not discuss such facts, data or science. So if you dismiss all of reality, then it stands to reason you are left with a “guess.” This is public education in California. But lest we dismiss this cancerous approach being relegated to the wacky coast, there are plenty of frightening examples from around the country.
Such as in Florida, a reddish-purple state. In two school districts in the Tampa Bay region — Sarasota County and Pasco County, both of which are actually red counties politically — officials set out guidelines dealing with transgender children that include keeping their transgenderism secret from their parents and forcing male PE teachers to observe transgender boys (that is, physical girls) change in locker rooms.
But remember, when school leaders say “guidelines,” they mean our way or the highway. Teachers can be transferred, demoted or even fired if they don’t follow the “guidelines,” which is why I often put them in quotes. Really, these are policies. Teach these or else.
Here’s how California teachers will be told to explain the new departure from reality to five-year-olds.
“Discuss gender with kindergarteners by exploring gender stereotypes and asking open-ended questions, such as what are preferred colors, toys, and activities for boys/girls, and then challenging stereotypes if presented.” So if a boy acts like a boy, “educators” (have to use quotes in this context) should actually push back against that, directing them to act like girls. And vice-versa for little girls. This is not open-minded. It’s child abuse.
Because of course most of the children cannot read yet, pictures help with the indoctrination into self-destructive behavior on a large scale: “…show images of children around the same age who do not conform to typical gender stereotypes. Examples do not have to be exaggerated or overt. Simple differences, such as colors or toy preferences, can demonstrate acceptance of gender nonconformity.”
And like all good re-education camps, there is no opting out. Brenda Lebsack at EdSource.org, who has gone through the 1,000-page guidelines that almost no parent will read and, interestingly are only in English, explains:
“Instruction about gender or sexual orientations that is implemented through the adoption of the framework is exempted from parent notification and opt out requirements (California Education Code 51932b). According to The California Safe School Coalition, state law provides that ‘instruction or materials that discuss gender, sexual orientation, or family life and do not discuss human reproductive organs and their functions’ are not subject to parental notice and opt-out laws.”
The only real alternative for parents who are Christian or most any religion, or who believe in science and reality, or who are moderate to conservative, is to not send their children to their local public school. They send them off automatically, even in “good” school districts, at great peril. That sounds extreme, but clearly based on this newest proposal, if you send your child to California’s public schools, and increasing numbers of other schools, you are sending your child to learn and believe a provable lie that could psychologically damage them for life.
Parents can’t opt out???
Parents can sue for billions. Tie up the school district for years. Take it to SCOTUS.
Violates scientific facts AND religious freedom.
Can’t wait until the LGBTQRSUVWXYZ run up against Islam.
A relative of mine in Connecticut sent her girl to a Christian summer camp throughout high school. Now the kid announced she is a lesbian and is in college WRITING LEGAL POLICY GUIDELINES for educating future kids. Imagine the frustration all around.
The children belong to the state.
Nowadays, we don't know what to think.
Home school. Private school. Leave the state (and its politics) behind, and take your tax dollars with you.
Why?
Get out before they build a wall to keep you in, it's what all good commies eventually end up doing.
>>Can’t wait until the LGBTQRSUVWXYZ run up against Islam.<<
So far LBDTGEBYUWEGW has lost every time. Up to and including female genital mutilation and killing homos. The left says “different cultural norms” and (of course) rop.
In the gender hierarchy, it goes:
islam>trannies>homos>feminists
Remember when all they wanted was to be allowed to share insurance policies with their partners?
They are Biology Deniers.
The Supreme Court’s gay marriage ruling was evidence that God has given up this country to depravity. As the slinky keeps bouncing down each step, we respond with surprise. But the moral slide keeps going down, non-stop.
I cannot keep up with all the letters that they keep adding. I just call them by the simple, all inclusive term "She, He, It or Transexual" or just use the acronym S.H.I.T.
HS ping.
Time for “The Big One”!
When Gay Marriage was decided in 2015, I predicted that the next thing they would come for is the distinction between male and female.
I hate it when I’m right.
Thee must always be something to upset the Normals. Now that they have won this, next they will come for the children.
“In the closet, or in the crosshairs”. Their choice.
Yes, I am filling my oil lamp as we speak.
