Trans Toddlers and Secret Abortions: Elite NYC Private Schools Use Summer Reading Lists to Push Radical Agenda
National Review ^ | September 5, 2022 | Diana Glebova

As school goes back into session, students in New York City’s top private schools head into the classroom having been recommended summer reading lists riddled with books about children transitioning their genders, cross-dressing, attending pride parades, getting secret abortions, and questioning their sexuality.

According to reading lists reviewed by National Review, students as young as kindergartners were recommended books by the elite schools celebrating toddlers becoming transgender and cross-dressing.

Nightingale-Bamford, an all-girls school where annual tuition runs at $59,000, recommends that kindergarteners read books like When Aidan Became A Brother, a story about a girl who changed her gender when she was a toddler; Julian Is A Mermaid, a book about a boy who is celebrated when he chooses to dress in a skirt, flower crown, and necklace; and Pride Puppy, a story about a dog who gets lost at a pride parade and then is chased by a drag queen.

In When Aidan Became A Brother, the main character, Aidan, who was born a girl, tells her parents she was a boy because she “hated” the sound of her name and felt like her “room belonged to someone else.”

After revealing her new preferred gender to her parents, they accepted Aidan as transgender and said they made “mistakes” in assuming that she was a girl. Aidan also says the family’s new baby should not be given a gendered name and should instead just be a “baby.”

Parents should prioritize their children growing up to be normal, functioning (non-mutilated!) men and women over increasing the chance of going to an Ivy League school (the goal of many rich NYC progressives). Unfortunately, bad ideas from NYC and California don't stay there.

recommends that kindergarteners read books like When Aidan Became A Brother, a story about a girl who changed her gender white boy who decided to be black.

Would that be culturally offensive? Is it possible? Does science tell us we can change our race?

To me at least, the issue isn't that some people are pushing transgenderism and others, like us on FR, are saying it is wrong.

The issue is: WHY is this being pushed? WHAT/WHO is behind it (really behind it...driving it)?

Is this trans propaganda campaign directed at children an organic movement, is the trans community is trying to spread its ideology, is it communists or totalitarians (or the bizarre Dept of Ed) trying to destabilize our culture, is it merely liberals who are bending over backward to accommodate transgender people...or is it just some perfect storm wherein all these groups happened to be working toward a common goal?

If we can't define our enemy, we cannot defeat it. In fact, we can't even fight it if we don't know who "it" is.

I don’t think we should make hay about this. This is a private school. Last thing we need is for private schools to be scrutinized. There are many more conservative private schools that need left alone by government or even Nosey people not in the school.

Critical theory tells us that science is irrelevant in the matter of human identity. Science after all is a white supremacist construct (like math, our legal system, or our culture).

Not only can you be a black man or woman, you can be a bird or a tree or...whatever you want to be.

It really blows my mind that the Parents are okay with this. They seem willing to pay these enormous sums to have their kids mentally damaged. Probably because the Parents themselves have been indoctrinated to the point where virtue signaling is more important to them than the well being of their own children.

This is downright evil.

If any parent objects to Nightingale-Bamford’s reading list, they can at any time withdraw their child or children from the school.

If that happens, Nightingale-Bamford has a waiting list with hundreds of kids and hundreds of parents that have the cash to pay that tuition.

I don’t think the government should intervene here, but parents thinking of sending their children to these schools should be informed.

Do I care that rich libtards in NYC are propagandizing, castrating and mutilating their own children?

I suppose, but only because they will attempt to impose it on everyone else.

As unimaginable as it is, we have to ask ourselves how we would react if a cult of pedophiles were preying on innocent elementary school children in a given city and the local authorities were permitting it. We would be up in arms.

As strange as it seems, this is equivalent in a way...and the assailants have parental approval.

In short, we may not care what the parents do to themselves, but when they victimize innocent children--even their own--we have to take action.

"What" action that might be, I have no earthly idea.

Our country has entered the Twilight Zone and reality itself has been suspended by many.

A part of the WEF borderless world agenda is liquidation of strong sexual identities just like eliminating borders and liquidating white western culture. Some of this is that open queers have become highly placed policy advisors within the WEF. These creatures hate the normal and straight and simply want revenge on straight people.The WEF types want as few distinctions as possible in a borderless world so that capital and labor can flow seam;essly across most of the advanced world. The WEF leadership is also fascinated with transhumanance, one aspect of this is bio engineered hermaprhrodites so men can become women with penises and artificial wombs. The global elites who are pushing this seem to be deeply into wanting to be gods.

Not just NYC. Lafayette Louisiana is having a culture war over queer oriented books in the children’s and youth sections. The librarians are furious over the people paying their salaries wanting control of the content of the library collections. Lafayette is a college town so a lot of whining libs and queer freaks are coming out of the woodwork supporting gueering the library.

You'd think the straight leaders of the WEF would tell the fags to shelf their gay agenda for a while so the WEF can focus on first achieving world domination.

IOW, first things, first.

You can either achieve world domination or you can achieve the queering of the world. But by trying to achieve both at the same time, you reduce the odds of either happening.

I am. Do you suppose I’m wrong?

Are the WEF leaders all gay?

Seriously, from what I can tell, they are all, at the least, “fluid”, “curious” “non-judgemental” and open to experimentation on a spectrum.

I believe it is a part of their shared class and generational cohort. It may also be required for advancement.

Look what they promote.
