The nation’s largest teachers union recommends that educators begin teaching the concepts of preferred personal pronouns and gender identity starting in pre-kindergarten.
"When you look at elementary school students, many people think they are too young to talk about pronouns,” said panelist Matthew Powell, a member of the National Education Association’s Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Committee, during a webinar last summer.
“However, by asking students their [preferred] pronouns at a young age,” Powell added, so-called education support professionals “can make room for students who may be exploring gender identity and show everyone [that] gender identity should not just be assumed.”
Saul Ramos, a high school teaching assistant on the panel, said during the teachers union’s event that schools should be a place of support for students whose parents don’t accept their gender identity.
“Our educators have a real, big interest in using the correct names and pronouns for students, because we all know once you do start using someone’s correct pronouns, statistically it has shown that the suicide rates dramatically drop,” Ramos said.
No evidence of a connection between failure to use preferred personal pronouns and youth suicide exists, Jay Greene, senior research fellow in The Heritage Foundation’s Center for Education Policy, told The Daily Signal. (The Daily Signal is Heritage’s multimedia news organization.)
“The completely baseless suggestion that kids will kill themselves if teachers don’t use certain pronouns is essentially a form of extortion,” said Greene, author of a recent report on youth suicide and transgender medical treatments.

Why not teach them the alphabet first...
WHO THE HELL NEEDS A "Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Committee"?????
Because the union is intent on grooming the kids into abnormality at an early age.
The teachers Union should be broken entirely and stomped into the ground.
Mass executions are needed.
AHHH Unions ,they know best,
This is Satanic.
They’re communists, teaching kids the alphabet isn’t why they’re there.

We definitely need more GOP Governors like Ron DeSantis to take on these demented folks at the NEA.
A long term goal of Republicans should be the destruction of public employee unions. They are not only driving the country into bankruptcy but they are corroding the culture with their perversion.
Another Reason to Homeschool
“””Another Reason to Homeschool”””
While homeschooling can be great for some families, most families do not have the financial resources to do it.
No, the NEA is the reason voters and politicians need to make total reform of the public school system the highest priority.
My preferred pronouns are…
Make/me
Parents should start a “conservative union” and respond to crap.like,that with “teachers who push transgender nonsense in institutions of learning should be relieved of their positions, post haste”
My preferred pronouns are I/me/mine.
