New Jersey to require 2nd graders learn about gender identity in fall, alarming parents
Fox News ^ | April 7th, 2022 | Houston Keene

Sample NJ lesson plan says, 'You might feel like you're a boy even if you have body parts that some people might tell you are 'girl' parts.'

New Jersey public school second graders will be getting a lesson in gender identity this fall under state sex education guidelines that will take effect in September.

According to the standards, New Jersey students should, by the end of second grade, understand the "core ideas" that all "individuals should feel welcome and included regardless of their gender, gender expression or sexual orientation."

Additionally, the standards listed "performance expectations" for second graders, which includes discussing "the range of ways people express their gender and how gender role stereotypes may limit behavior."

Educators in the Garden State are preparing to carry out the teaching standards, which were established in 2020 but not required to be enacted until Sept. 2022.

One school district in the state distributed sample lesson plans indicating first graders could be taught they can have "boy parts" but "feel like" a girl.

The lesson plans, which were given to parents at the Westfield Board of Education's Feb. 22 meeting, appear to be reflective of the Garden State's new, broader sex education curriculum.

One lesson plan, "Purple, Pink and Blue," instructs teachers to talk to their first graders about gender identity, and its first objective is to have the students be able to define "gender, gender identity and gender role stereotypes."

The lesson’s second objective is to have students name "at least two things they’ve been taught about gender role stereotypes and how those things may limit people of all genders."

Why would NJ parents be “alarmed”?!

*************

They should know by now that living in a blue state has consequences.

I have finally come to the conclusion that there are three genders:
1. Male
2. Female
3. Demoncrats.

And yet, we are told there are so many “transgender” children, who are prepubescent children. We are told the children have awareness of being gay and all that. I think that is (expletive deleted) but we have all heard such nonsense.

It’s incredible that the people who run our schools have such twisted mindsets about these sorts of subjects.

My best friend lives in Berkely Heights, NJ. He’s as conservative as they come and BH is fairly conservative but he’s been trying to get out for 20 years. His job requires him to be at the office in NJ. This should push him over the edge. Whoever gets him will be getting a devout Trumpster.

I agree with you. I had uniforms in High School. Loved it.

So which class does a tranny go to?? Maybe alternate weeks??

We've turned into a nation of a****.....and the courts are wrong to give them special protections.

Exactly right! Those concepts are too abstract for children that young to comprehend.

It strikes me that they are the ones who stereotype. What does feel like a girl or feel like a boy even mean at that age? If you’re a boy and like making cookies with your mom, oh you must be a girl inside! If you’re a girl and would rather go fishing with your dad, you must be a boy inside! Just let kids be who they are and do what they enjoy.

The boy who likes making cookies might grow up to have his own bakery. The girl might have her own sporting goods store. Or they might just grow into normal adults who like to bake or to fish.

k to their first graders about gender identity, and its first objective is to have the students be able to define "gender, gender identity and gender role stereotypes."

"It appears battle lines are finally being drawn. Heaven help us."

Rather, they were drawn long ago, but like as the men of Sodom pressed against the door of Lot (Gn. 19) in demanding to be let in to "know the men" then under the pretense of "tolerance" and "equal rights," then the elephant LGBTQ seeks domination, forcing its way into every institution and place.

God made man and women distinctively different yet uniquely compatible and complementary, and only joined them together in marriage - as the Lord Jesus Himself specified, (Mt. 19:4–6) and Scripture only condemns homosexual relations wherever they are manifestly dealt with .
Yet there is still room at the cross for all who will come to God in repentance and faith, and trust in the Divine Son of God sent by the Father, the risen Lord Jesus, to save them on His account, by His sinless shed blood, and thus be baptized and live for Him. Acts 10:36-47

This is a culture war and we’re all in it. Just leaving this up to parents is a huge mistake...we all see it, it will impact all of us. So we all have a responsibility.

We reached diminishing returns in public "education" decades ago. Some systems cannot be repaired and must be dismantled for the good of the country.

Congress. SCOTUS. And public education.

They outlived their usefulness and now are an absolute burden to America.

"Always worth noting that literally EVERYONE behind this grooming effort is also anti-Russia."

As is most everyone who opposes the LGBTQ agenda, while liberals also invoke Hitler as evil, yet anti-Christ Putin persecutes the most conservative Christians in his own country and cannot tolerate dissent. Not that Ukraine is a conservative paradise, nor all NATO counties which prevaricating Putin posits are an aggressive threat to to peace-loving Russia, but anyone who supports a power-hungry oppressive dictator to who seeks a reconstituted Soviet Union is choosing the wrong side.

And Peter opening his mouth, said: In very deed I perceive that God is not a respecter of persons. But in every nation, he that feareth him, and worketh justice, is acceptable to him. ... While Peter was yet speaking, the Holy Ghost fell on all them that heard the word. The Acts, 10:34-35, 44 (Douay Rheims)

Is this what you were getting at?

Democrats have killed the ‘Tom Boy’.


Yes that is what is happening. And this is very dangerous.

Many girls have gone thru such phases, and it was just part of growing up in the past.

Heck nowadays, these “educators” encounter such girls, they are identifying her as “transgender” and it’s time for hormone shots. Holy (fill in the blank), our society and culture have fallen to some deep depths of depravity.

I guess all those gender studies degrees were useful for something in the real world after all...grooming our children.
