This, at its most basic level, is disgusting and reprehensible.
We know how far America – and the Left in particular – have strayed from religion. It’s really sad, and if the trend continues, will ultimately lead to our demise.
Ask yourself, why is radical Islam so strong at the moment? The answer: religion.
No matter how much radical Islamists have distorted the Quran, religion remains a main tenet of their teachings.
In the U.S. today, you can’t turn on a TV show anymore without seeing at least one homosexual character, no doubt because Hollywood liberals want you to believe that out of every 10 people, gays make up half.
In no world is that correct, and what we get because of this is leftist academics promoting gender confusion to our youth.
Now, Fairfax County Public Schools will teach students that “there’s no such thing as boys or girls.”
School choice, anyone?
From Fox News:
One of the nation’s largest public school systems is preparing to include gender identity to its classroom curriculum, including lessons on sexual fluidity and spectrum – the idea that there’s no such thing as 100 percent boys or 100 percent girls.
Fairfax County Public Schools released a report recommending changes to their family life curriculum for grades 7 through 12. The changes, which critics call radical gender ideology, will be formally introduced next week.
Ridiculous.
“The larger picture is this is really an attack on nature itself – the created order,” said Peter Sprigg of the Family Research Council.
“Human beings are created male and female. But the current transgender ideology goes way beyond that. They’re telling us you can be both genders, you can be no gender, you can be a gender that you make up for yourself. And we’re supposed to affirm all of it.”
The plan calls for teaching seventh graders about transgenderism and tenth graders about the concept that sexuality is a broader spectrum — but it sure smells like unadulterated sex indoctrination.
Apparently, students “will be provided definitions for sexual orientation terms heterosexuality, homosexuality and bisexuality; and the gender identity term transgender,” and an “emphasis will be placed on recognizing that everyone is experiencing changes and the role of respectful, inclusive language in promoting an environment free of bias and discrimination.”
This is the America we live in.
What a time to be alive.
Eighth graders will be taught that individual identity “occurs over a lifetime and includes the component of sexual orientation and gender identity.”
“Individual identity will also be described as having four parts – biological gender, gender identity (includes transgender), gender role, and sexual orientation (includes heterosexual, bisexual, and homosexual).”
Thankfully, some parents aren’t all for this…
“Parents need to protect their kids from this assault,” said Andrea Lafferty, president of Traditional Values Coalition. “Who could imagine that we are in this place today – but we are.”
Last week, the school board voted to include gender identity in the district’s nondiscrimination policy – a decision that was strongly opposed by parents.
Lafferty, who led the opposition to the nondiscrimination policy, warned that the district is moving towards the deconstruction of gender.
“At the end of this is the deconstruction of gender – absolutely,” she told me. “The majority of people pushing (this) are not saying that – but that clearly is the motivation.”
God creating Eve from Adam has no bearing on these people.
One man, one woman? Poppycock!
Anyone this far out of touch with reality is delusional and needs serious help.
Lots of folks say that but only because it is probably true.
Same with libs projecting their perceptions onto everyone around them because they believe everyone around them thinks as they do.
The following is an outstanding article on that very subject and how socialists (in U.S. English, liberal) project their obsession to suppress differing opinions, free speech, religion and objection to overreaching government.

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
They're born that way?
You don't say.
And it took a government funded study to tell us the obvious?????
Liberals and Democrats won't believe the sun is directly overhead at noon without at least five fully funded government studies and an OK from party leaders that it's currently politically correct to say it's possibly true.
Sad but true.......
