After winning a landslide victory in the November election with broad support from the American people, President-elect Donald Trump, the Department of Education, and the next Secretary of Education Linda McMahon He will be tasked with the overwhelming task of fixing America’s broken K-12 education system.
More specifically, they are tasked with eliminating extremist gender ideology from our nation’s schools, but they will surely face resistance from notorious villains.
recent public opinion poll According to Parents Defending Education (PDE), 75% of parents “oppose teachers, counselors, school nurses, classroom aides, coaches, and administrators withholding information from parents about their child’s gender identity.” I understand that. This includes 88% of Republican parents, 72% of Independent parents, and 58% of Democratic parents.
The most troubling and potentially dangerous aspect of gender ideology in schools is that it facilitates children’s gender transitions behind their parents’ backs. For PDE Found Approximately 21,000 schools with more than 12 million students have policies that do just that, allowing minors to keep their preferred gender identity hidden from their parents at school if they so choose. It will be. Most of these schools have started imposing gender ideology on their curriculum. Often the reasons are: state standards We need it to normalize these pseudoscientific and even cult-like beliefs to the next generation.
While the next leaders of the Department of Education will be widely approved to eliminate gender ideology from America’s schools, here are some groups supporting parental rights and common sense: Parents who protect education and Moms seeking freedom Any action aimed at course correction can prove to be met with relentless resistance from organizations with deep pockets.
One such group is gender spectrumis largely responsible for the gender policy template currently used in a wide range of schools across the country. The organization provides training For teachers, it includes a lesson that argues that “sex is not a binary,” and that even children as young as four years old can identify as transgender. The group also offers lessons for students, including: quiz About how gender is considered to be on a spectrum.
In recent years, the gender spectrum has online chat room Targeted at 10-year-olds who identify as “trans” or “non-binary.” Any effort to clean up America’s schools must begin by ensuring public schools no longer use such materials.
after that, Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network (GLSEN). This organization promotes gender ideology to young children. Schools in states as diverse as New Hampshire, Missouri, Colorado, and Florida have been affected by GLSEN over the past few years. The group encourages students to start LGBTQ clubs in their schools and provides training for teachers to introduce gender ideology into the curriculum from the very early grades.
districts such as liberty public school missouri and Broward County Public Schools The state of Florida recently embraced the organization’s beliefs. GLSEN will undoubtedly push back against the Ministry of Education’s efforts.
Perhaps the biggest organization pushing gender ideology into American schools is human rights campaign (HRC) under the flagwelcoming school” HRC has attempted to radically transform schools and introduce gender ideology. training, Providing lesson plansand promote “”school in transitionThe guide advises schools not to involve parents if their child identifies as transgender.
HRC used legal issues They rebel against common-sense policies and either stop them altogether or stall them until a government more friendly to their goals comes to power.
HRC previously sued says laws passed Prohibit men from using women’s restrooms And then Participating in women’s sports. The next Department of Education leadership will likely need to prepare for a barrage of lawsuits from the HRC.
While parents may object to schools adopting radical gender ideologies and forcing them on their children, several powerful organizations will fight to keep this status quo. Linda McMahon and her team at the Department of Education will have their hands full dealing with the resistance they will face. But they have a mandate from their constituents to act, and they must use it to save America’s children from this evil ideology.
