Today and tomorrow, Redwood Heights Elementary School in Oakland will be teaching children from kindergarten through fifth grade that there are more than two genders, Pacific Justice Institute reports.
In a press release, Pacific Justice Institute provided the following details:
The two days calendared for this are entitled "Gender Spectrum Diversity Training." In documents released by the school, students will be taught that "gender is not inherently nor solely connected to one's physical anatomy." Further, gender is a "complex interrelationship between (physical traits) and one's internal sense of self as male, female, both or neither as well as one's outward presentations and behaviors related to that perception."
Another document from the school advises parents: "When you discuss gender with your child, you may hear them exploring where they fit on the gender spectrum and why."
The activities and reading list include: Grades K-1: "Boy, girl or both? Which Outfit, Which Hairdo? (Reading) My Princess Boy." Grades 2-3: "What is gender? (Reading) 10,000 Dresses." Grades 4-5: "Three dimensions of gender. (Reading/Song) All I Want to be is Me."
"This instruction does not represent the values of the majority of families in Oakland," said attorney Kevin Snider of the Pacific Justice Institute. PJI has been providing legal counsel to parents in the Oakland Unified School District on this matter. "Though to many this may seem extreme, based upon some of the bills now pending in the Capitol such as SB 48, this will be the new normal in California's K-12 public schools," Snider continued.
At this point, it is not known if this is the only campus in the Oakland Unified School District that offers gender diversity training for children.
“Unfortunately, many parents in the school are unaware that this is being taught,” said the news release.

Thanks GonzoII.
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.
And the kids I know will laugh at that. But after enough years of indoctrination, they'll be believing it.
If ever there was evidence that we are living in the end times......
Honestly, earthquakes and floods and war and rumor of war are nothing compared to the moral breakdown of our society.
“What is your point?”
My point was, and is, that it is NOT impossible for an individual to be born with ambiguous sexual traits. It is rare.
“You just lowered human beings to a mule.”
Of course I didn’t do that.
“Where do I sign up for re-education camp?”
Don’t worry, they’ll be coming for you soon.
*barf*
I’m a Fire Engine and I have rights.
If there are more than two genders, then how many genders are there?
Great. I pity the young people who are exposed to this nonsense.
They are going to have *so* many problems later in life and they aren’t going to know why.
Gen 1:27
...male and female He created them.
Of COURSE the left wants to blur the distinction,
it is their “father’s” wishes.
so true
Me too.
If you really want to know... “Gender theory” posits that rather than thinking of just sex and sexual orientation, there are actually three dimensions of human sexuality: sex, gender, and sexual orientation.
Sex refers to whether you were born male, female, or intersex (hermaphrodite), in a genetic and genital/hormonal sense. Gender refers to whether you exhibit feminine or masculine characteristics in dress, speech, affectations, emotions, etc. Sexual orientation refers to who you are sexually attracted to.
So, to answer your question according to this theory, a gay male has a homosexual orientation, a male sex, and a gender that might be feminine or masculine or somewhere in between, depending on their dress, manner, etc.
I’m not saying I buy it, but it does at least provide a vocabulary to describe more accurately a complicated (some might say freakish) set of characteristics.
For instance, if a man is a cross-dressing transgender, he has a male sex, a female gender, and may be homosexual if he is attracted to men and heterosexual if he is attracted to women. Etc.
Oh, and this story is sort of ridiculous. Children probably aren’t really going to understand, let alone care about, any of this.
“Another document from the school advises parents: “When you discuss gender with your child, you may hear them exploring where they fit on the gender spectrum and why.”
Why would a parent discuss this at all, in their own home, with a five-year-old?
Perhaps a parent should just tell the school that they will counter everything the school says about this subject with their own values. They can also tell the school not to send this curriculum home with their children because it will not be permitted in the house.
Look up Grade 5 PAIS ....
And rare is the exception rather than the rule. I would be over 99% percent correct if I said male and female.

REFERENCE CA Senate bill mandates gay history in schools.
PASS THE WORD Obama gave Jennings $410 million for his dirty work in the 2011 federal budget ON TOP of $400 million in 2010.
The new House majority (which controls funding) supposedly cutoff funding Obama's czars. Jennings was supposedly cutoff without a penny---but these people are so devious---betcha Obama and Jennings have budget millions stashed away somewhere.
===================================
CIRCA 2009 A coalition of Christian organizations launched an effort to have him removed, asserting that Kevin Jennings is one of the most vitriolic anti-Christian activists in America. Jennings is known for his prolific use of obscenities to describe Christians. Jenning will apparently advance Barack Obama's anti-Christian homosexual agenda.
The shocking Jennings appointment is another flagrant example of Obama saying one thing and doing another---and flaunting it, as well. Candidate Obama catered to Black Churchgoers who voted for him thinking he would uphold their strong views against same-sex marriage. Obama ran on a platform against same sex marriage and has given the impression that, as president, he will do nothing to advance same sex marriage.
This calculated move serves to make Black Churchgoers complacent while giving Obama leeway to advance the homosexualist agenda in other ways.
===========================================
OCTOBER 2009 President Obama received a warm welcome at the annual dinner of the homosexual support group Human Rights Campaign, promising to sign hate crimes legislation, to repeal both "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" and the "Defense of Marriage Act." and to continue supporting his besieged appointments as "safe schools czar" and head of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. WND revelations about Kevin Jennings, the safe schools czar, and Chai Feldblum, his EEOC nominee, have resulted in criticism in Congress and from group's concerned about past actions and statements.
53 members of Congress demanded that Obama dismiss Jennings following WND disclosures about his past, including an incident in which he counseled a 15-year-old student to keep quiet about being seduced by an older man. WND disclosures that Feldblum proclaimed "gay sex is morally good" have also made her a target for criticism.
"I'm here with a simple message: I'm here with you in that fight," Obama told the homosexual activist group. "For even as we face extraordinary challenges as a nation, we cannot and we will not put aside issues of basic equality. I greatly appreciate the support I've received from many in this room. I also appreciate that many of you don't believe that progress has come fast enough. I want to be honest about that. Because it's important to be honest amongst friends."
Obama made a direct reference to his besieged appointees without naming them. "Nobody in America should be fired because they're gay, despite doing a great job and meeting their responsibilities," he said. "It's not fair, it's not right, we're going to put a stop to it. Read more at wnd.com
