Should kindergarten include books about being transgender?
Los Angeles Times ^ | September 2, 2017 | Sonali Kohli

Ankur Dhawan’s 6-year-old daughter walked into the living room one day in June and told her family she’d learned in school that you could be a girl in a boy’s body. Her classmate was one of those girls, she said.

But experts say kindergarten is a good time to start talking to kids about gender identity.


What experts might those be?

High school kids shouldn’t be exposed to it either.

Only in California would this be a question.

Maybe in Oregon.

And Washington.

Transgenderism often fosters sexism, as a few feminists pointed out about “I am Jazz”.
By saying a girl who likes sports might be a boy and a boy who likes cooking might be a girl, it is pushing the most restrictive gender stereotypes as the definition of the sex and says “maybe you have to give up those activities or alter your body”.

Only if they include books about how to live a normal life as a heroin addict, or how to keep your house clean with 150 cats living in it, or being an average person with any other obsessive/compulsive mental disorder.

From the article:
A 2010 GLSEN survey found that 8% of elementary school students said they “do not conform to traditional gender norms.”
If ever there were a completely unbiased source of information, GLSEN certainly ain't it.

As if anyone needed a better reason to homeschool!

I know books about gay acceptance are being introduced at the Kindergarten level and is mandated at high school level.

This is from 2011:

LA Times:

Gov. Brown signs bill requiring teaching of gay accomplishments

Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation that makes California the first state in the nation to require the inclusion of the contributions of gay, lesbian and transgender Americans in school history lessons and textbooks.

The legislation addresses omissions in history books, according to Gil Duran, a spokesman for the governor.

And, yes, these things always do seem to start in my home state.

We are here: Francis A. Schaeffer has argued, “If there are no absolutes by which to judge society, then society is absolute.” Francis Schaeffer, How Shall We Then Live? (Old Tappan NJ: Fleming H Revell Company, 1976), p. 224.

Romans chapter one covers it to a tee: 18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles. 24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen. 26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error. 28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

So then, are those of us who are older, did we miss out, was our education incomplete, because they didn’t talk to us in Kindergarten about transsexual issues???? They really want to go there???? You have to start in Kindergarten???

How about, for those handful of troubled individuals in this area of life, we try to get help for them, but not expose the rest of the world to the issue? And can we say let’s wait till they are adults to do anything drastic?

For example, it shocks me that we now hear that pre-pubescent children are being given hormone blockers and other such treatments to prevent their maturing into an adult of their sex.

And some politicians, who want to bend over backwards to prove they are liberal, have gotten legislation in some states to block certain mental health treatments for such troubled individuals. They are only allowed treatment which confirms that they are homosexual, or confirms that they are a boy in a girls body and all that stuff.

And speaking of schools, many schools, high school and middle schools, have these “Gay Straight Alliance” clubs, which are run by open homosexuals. Why the heck are we letting homosexuals into schools to run a “club”? Why the heck do we have clubs which deal with ANY aspects of sexuality? What ever happened to the Glee Club and the Chess Club? What the heck extracurricular activities are we pushing nowadays??

Kindergarten shouldn’t include children. The concept is barbaric. Yet we just accept it.
