You’ve probably seen “black women supporting Kamala” or “white men supporting Kamala,” but you’ve probably never seen “parents supporting Kamala Harris and Tim Waltz.”
Vice President Kamala Harris is a staunch opponent of parents controlling what schools teach young children about sex, gender and homosexuality, and on Tuesday she picked Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, a former teacher who shares her extreme anti-parent views, as her running mate. (RELATED: “Shove It”: James Carville Furious at Conservatives' Outrage Over Tim Waltz Giving Tampons to Boys

Harris and Walz are out of sync with most Americans: Majorities of not only Republicans but also Hispanic and black Democrats don't want gender ideology in elementary school classrooms. Pew Research and You/Government poll.
On July 25, Harris pledged to oppose a wave of state laws that would ban preschool and elementary school teachers from indoctrinating children about sexual orientation and gender choice at the American Federation of Teachers convention. Harris has also opposed book bans, suggesting she is comfortable giving children books that make them question their gender identity.

Parental rights and the innocence of young children are at stake in this election, warns President Terry Schilling. American Principles Project“I'm not going to lie, but I'm going to be honest with you,” Schilling said. “I'm not going to lie, but I'm going to be honest with you. I'm not going to lie, but I'm not going to be honest with you. I'm not going to be honest with you.”
All people should be respected regardless of their sexual orientation, but parents should have the final say on what to teach their children.
Harris has a history of criticizing lawmakers who side with parents, calling them “extremists” at a Pride rally on June 23, 2023.
Who is the extreme here? It's up to you to decide.

Of course not. Every child deserves to be respected.
But this battle is not about inclusion. Inclusion is a good thing. This battle is about indoctrination. According to the AFT“Books that normalize sexual identity confusion can help young people realize they are not alone in their struggles with identity clarification and validation.” The AFT goes on to say that the lack of open conversations about “the development of non-heterosexual identities within families” must be compensated for by teachers bringing it up.
Unfortunately, most parents don't want the AFT or local school authorities to replace families. Harris apparently thinks so, as does her new running mate. (Related article: Betsy McCaughey: Kamala Harris may find male voters don't like her as much)
“Call me MaxA book about a transgender boy, “Transgender Boy,” being read to kindergarteners has some questioning why teachers would encourage kindergarteners to question their gender identity. Some states have banned the book from classrooms, but surprisingly, the California Department of Education recommends it for kindergarteners, first graders, and second graders.
On May 22, Governor Walz signed a bill into law that prohibits parent groups from removing books or materials from Minnesota school libraries because of their content, calling the parent efforts “regressive.” The bill mimics laws already passed in California and other Democratic-leaning states that hold educators accountable, rather than families.
Walz also helped push for legislation that would require tampons to be available in all men's restrooms in case transgender people need them, a policy push.
Meanwhile, Harris mocked parents, shouting, “Ban the book this year, 2024!”
The choice in November is between California values (the very liberal Harris values) or the values your family chooses.
Meanwhile, the real education emergency is being ignored: Fewer than one-third of fourth graders are fluent in reading, and only one-third are fluent in math.
Blame the AFT, whose website is full of immigrant rights, transgender rights, gun bans, and other political issues, but not a word about pedagogy – how to effectively teach reading, writing, and math.
After Walz's selection on Tuesday, the AFT and the National Education Association rushed to praise the pick.
Parents: If you care about your children's innocence and future, do not elect AFT sycophant Harris and her anti-parent running mate in November's election.
