California parents blast school for giving fifth graders transgender book 'My Shadow is Pink' then forcing them to explain it to kindergartners

A California dad has blasted his son's school for giving the child a book about a transgender boy - then allegedly forcing him to explain it to kindergartners.

Carlos Encinas' 11-year-old son was assigned to read a book called 'My Shadow is Pink' in his fifth-grade class on May 1 at La Costa Heights Elementary School in Carlsbad north of San Diego.

The book centers around a boy who describes his father's shadow as 'big' and 'blue' and his dilemma with his own shadow, which he feels is pink.

'My heart skips a beat as I put on a dress,' the main character says in the book, while wearing a gown while his shade is a feminine color.

'My shadow loves ponies and books and pink toys. Princesses and fairies and things not for boys.'

The book talks about other people's shadows.

'Her shadow, she hides it. Her shadow likes girls.'

After Encina's 11-year-old read the book in his own class, the fifth graders were told they would be sharing the story with their buddy class, a class of kindergartners the fifth graders read to and mentor.

'That's actually where he felt the most uncomfortable,' Encinas said of his son.

'These little kids look up to them. They are with them twice a month.'

Encinas and his wife reached out to the school asking why parents were not notified that their kids would be reading the book and sharing it with even younger kids.

Okay okay ...so let's have this happen.

One year from now same thing at different school only this time we see in the 5th grade class room "Mahmoud" a refugee from Palestine. Mahmoud goes into Kindergarten class, holds up the book and says "these type of people are enemy of Islam, this is a grave sin against Allah and these type of people need to be thrown off roof tops"

You know what? The schools would not dare say a darn thing against "Mahmoud" because he is in a protected class too.

Oh but according to some here teachers are perfect angels working so hard to teach these wretched children how to go on and suffering under the scrutiny of those ungrateful and stupid parents.

Children forcing younger children into sexual deviance?

Maybe when the big earthquake hits it will only kill the evil people like in the days of Joshua when asteroids hit only the evil...or Sodom and Gomorrah and the angels saved Lot’s family?

I hear this g from my friends They blast the school

Duluth crap

The school does not care at all. They do nit give any amount of concern ther they’re getting blasted

The kids continue getting dropped off at the school. That tells them loud and clear that whatever the school is doing is fine. Tgey absorb all this confusing destructive poisonous material then they’ll run the country. Well he mad at them for being illogical and ruining everything

But we pay property taxes to support this. It must be fine with us. And the parents.

Blasting the school does nothing whatsoever

They’re blasting the school.

They’re dropping the kids off there. Condoning this. But they’re blasting the school. There’s zero power in it. But they’re doing it

We need to sue and not blast the schools.

Did you see my first comment? Think I’m kidding? Don’t you remember this in Maryland?

https://www.foxnews.com/media/muslim-activist-gives-powerful-speech-forced-lgbtq-curriculum-people-backward

Muslims joined up with Catholic and Orthodox to sue Maryland schools to opt out of this crap.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

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.

From the article.......The book centers around a boy who describes his father's shadow as 'big' and 'blue' and his dilemma with his own shadow, which he feels is pink. 'My heart skips a beat as I put on a dress,' the main character says in the book, while wearing a gown while his shade is a feminine color. 'My shadow loves ponies and books and pink toys. Princesses and fairies and things not for boys.'

The left accuses the right of *gender stereotyping*, but anything the right does pales by comparison to the way the left has doubled down and reinforced gender stereotyping in order to push the trans agenda.

Not just that, but see if the school board members are bonded. I think that’s a form of insurance for them. See if there is a way to pull their bonds until they stop this crap.

“see if the school board members are bonded. I think that’s a form of insurance for them. See if there is a way to pull their bonds until they stop this crap.”

I’ve heard that before, and it seems to be a great type of ammunition that isn’t well known. IIRC, it’s a personal bond, not funded by the school, so you’d be threatening the cretins’ personal money.
