Some parents say they're keeping their kids home from school this week because of a Black Lives Matter school discussion that includes Queer and Trans Affirmations.

In some other school districts, students have been asked to make a pledge to accepting the affirmations, but not in Ames.

"In some states they have made a pledge to support the 13 principles, but we are really having conversations about accepting and affirming differences." Says Dr. Anthony Jones, Director of Equity for Ames Community School District.

He says in Ames schools the discussions are about making sure all students feel accepted.

"It's about affirming yourself first, and how you identify, and then helping our students to affirm and appreciate and value their classmates in their celebration of themselves." Jones says.

This is insane. Read the 13 affirming principles. It isn't only the homosexual stuff they should object to. Why would any parent let their child be subjected to this?

I’m actually surprised Buttplug wasn’t put in charge of the Department of Education. A d**k in every a** and forced tranny conversations for all.

Conservatives should do effective homeschooling whenever practical. Defund the evil teachers unions.

Setting aside the BLM idiocy, I wonder how someone Black feels being lumped together with transpeople.

What’s with queer affirmations? Isn’t the word queer, considered derogatory, akin to the dreaded ,”N” word?

You shouldn’t subject your children to this principles. It should at least be an elective with the parents signing off if they want their children exposed to it.

Best Answer: Pull your kids out of the school and send them to a christian/private school.

You are right. The 13 points listed have little or nothing to do with Black History Month. Sounds like BHM has been hijacked.

I know if I was black, this entire year would have embarrassed and enraged me, with the unceasing pandering and the violence in my name, much of which was committed by white people.

He's lying. It's all about marginalizing Christians.

This leftwing propaganda is being pushed hard in all video games and forums where children are. Roblox, Minecraft, etc have LGBTQ and other groups working to indoctrinate young children and go after/attack kids who disagree with any of the ideology.

Hard to believe that any Christian parent would send their child to an indoctrination center like this

I wouldn’t survive a reeducation camp.

I remember when my second grade teacher, Mrs. Kenny, Irish to the core, was so disappointed when we held a mock election between Kennedy and Nixon and Nixon won handily. I really liked her too.

"I know if I was black, this entire year would have embarrassed and enraged me, with the unceasing pandering . . . "

That's how I feel watching all of these corporate TV ads disproportionally populated with black people, nearly all of whom are depicted as living in upscale neighborhoods and driving high-end cars. It would strike me as utterly phony pandering, treating me like an idiot or a child who can't see through it.

I really think there is something mentally "off" about most of the people who dominate the advertising industry.

In the America I remember, EVERY Parent would protect their Children from this Insanity.

Now we have “educated” Trump hating White Women giving their Preteen Children Puberty Blockers because the Kid thinks he is the opposite Sex.

With all the social Engineering do they ever find time to teach some reading writing and arithmetic?

This media trend started during the Obama Administration, ostensibly to inspire black children to have higher goals, but it’s become completely ridiculous with nearly every TV commercial featuring a black person or a black and white couple, when the US black population is only 15 percent at most.

It’s complete pandering, and as such you’re right. It is an insult to the intelligence of the people it’s aimed at.
