Progressives have a habit of wanting to tell people how to live, and that includes telling them how to raise their children.
Citizens of Washington state have told their government that they do not want their children, starting in kindergarten, to participate in “comprehensive sexual health education” but the state’s Democrats believe they know better, KTTH reported Monday.
The legislation, House Bill 2184, is designed to address issues like affirmative consent, but also includes lessons that address the “LGBTQ+ students.”
And this is even after a survey conducted by the state’s Comprehensive Sexual Health Education work group showed that a 54-percent majority do not want sex education taught to children from kindergarten through fifth grade.
But the CSHE ignored the survey because mandatory sexual education is “an issue of equity and would help to ensure all students across the state receive quality, evidence-informed instruction, regardless of who they are or where they live.”
The government bureaucrats running the survey know better than the parents because, they say, according to KTTH, that the “social emotional needs of our youngest students must be addressed for prevention of future challenges.”
The group that made this decision was comprised of 16 people, all of them women — something that Republican State Rep. Michelle Caldier was not a fan of.
“I think that sometimes, you know in politics and when we’re making decisions that it’s very easy to surround ourselves with people who just agree with us and I think that if the work group just had conversations and no disagreement, that really concerns me because I know there’s a lot of disagreement for that,” she said.
“And I would encourage you guys to go back and really listen to the people who disagree and come back with something better.”
A representative from the office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction did acknowledge that the group was all-female but said “we were exposed to a wide variety of viewpoints around the state.”
Did they? Because 54 percent of survey respondents said they didn’t support the proposal, yet the CSHE is still recommending it.
The curriculum the group wants to expose students to includes things like telling them that the term “boner” is incorrect because the penis does not have any bones.
And girls would be taught about a “very sensitive little area at the top called the clitoris.”
Why would kids — grade-school-aged kids — need to know this? What possible purpose could it serve?
The curriculum also focuses on talking about affirmative consent, but takes it to an extreme of making sound like the two parties need some type of verbal contract before engaging in sex.
It is fair to say that for the majority of us we are familiar with a whole lot of implied consent. You know, like no one stopping or asking anyone to stop. We call it common sense.
The nonpartisan Foundation for Individual Rights in Education has said that affirmative-consent policies “threaten fundamental fairness by enforcing standards against accused students that are often vague and/or overbroad, and may lack the details necessary for students to comply. Indeed, many such policies are, for all practical purposes, impossible to follow.”
The proposed curriculum also enforces the “progressive” idea that gender and sex are not the same thing.
And the program would start in kindergarten.
“This lesson does, however, acknowledge that ‘there are some body parts that mostly just girls have and some parts that mostly just boys have. Being a boy or a girl doesn’t have to mean you have those parts, but for most people this is how their bodies are,” the curriculum reads.
Allow me to help you with this one, oh mighty party of science: Yes, having those parts does determine if you are a male or a female.
First-grade students are encouraged to read a children’s book called “My Princess Boy” about gender expression, and when students get to sixth grade, the indoctrination becomes even more intense.
“You may notice language throughout the curriculum that seems less familiar – using the pronoun ‘they’ instead of ‘her’ or ‘him,’ using gender neutral names in scenarios and role-plays and referring to ‘someone with a vulva’ vs. a girl or woman. This is intended to make the curriculum inclusive of all genders and gender identities,” the curriculum continues.
We are either in the Twilight Zone or the Book of Revelation.
How dare the state educate kids on subjects the majority of parents have said they do not want them to?
More and more public schools have become social-justice indoctrination camps. It could be the reason homeschooling is growing as parents decide they do not want their kids brainwashed.
How about spending that time teaching reading, writing and math instead of that sexual BS???????????
They’ll learn about sex on their own...
I keep hoping that the Cascadia fault will rupture and carry all of the demtards in western Washington into a deep hole in the Pacific Ocean. I know lots of folks who live in eastern Washington and they are mostly conservative, patriotic Americans. Seattle and Olympia are lost.
Why isn’t this deemed a a government run Pedophilia grooming operation?
Public schools have become ideological prisons.
Why isn’t this deemed a a government run Pedophilia grooming operation?
Because it would have to be reported to the FBI, which is, at the moment, ‘conflicted’ while protecting pedophiles in government.

There should be a series of Trump campaign ads with varying content but all with the same caption and finish-line:
THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRATS DO
One commercial could feature teaching trans sex to kindergartners.
One commercial could feature New York State legalizing most crime.
One commercial could show poop in the streets in San Francisco.
One commercial could highlight the murder-death-toll in Detroit.
In each case a crawl across the bottom:
THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRATS DO
And at the end of the commercial someone looks into the camera and says:
THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRATS DO
I thought they didn’t recruit.
I’ve been saying for years that China, Russia, Iran & even terrorist Islam are not our major threat. We are being destroyed here by insanity & moral depravity.
In the beginning . . . he made them male and female . . . that’s all you need to know . . . it’s that simple . . . about ten minutes training from Dad and Mom (real ones, that is) ought to do it. No need to waste school time on the easy and obvious.
Think how wonderful it would be if we could split the country peacefully so we never have to deal with these people again...
For little ones who still have potty accidents and are only a few years out of diapers these terrible freaks are determined to destroy the children’s innocence.
Thanks but the rupture will only devastate the coast lines and and shorelines around Puget Sound. Most of the rich liberals living inland will survive but me and my neighbors near Hoods Canal would suffer more.
Where is your home so I can wish a catastrophic event to hit and impact your well being?
Predators.
We are being destroyed here by insanity & moral depravity.
= = =
Yes!
And the next question is: where do insanity and moral depravity come from.
The battle is in the Heavenlies - Good v Evil.
(Good wins)
trans is a choice, period. This is not just indoctrination this is child sexual abuse
I’m sorry for your situation. Western Washington used to be a good place. Now both western OR and WA are just Kalifornia north. Best leave there.
