As Twitchy reported Wednesday, anti-critical race theory crusader Christopher Rufo got himself in trouble when he posted a collage of news clippings about child sexual abuse in public schools. People were more upset, it seemed, that he only included examples from public schools than they were about the sexual abuse itself. No one seemed to comment on how horrible the sexual abuse was, only how horrible it was that Rufo didn’t include examples from Catholic or private schools. So now he’s to be ignored.
We’re not going to ignore his latest thread, which shows one school district’s sex education curriculum starting in pre-K and running through third grade, where students are encouraged to “break the binary.” Curiously, these are the grades covered by Florida’s Parental Rights in Education law, which opponents always seem to leave out. And as we just reported, clowns like Brian Stelter are calling this a “life and death issue.”
SCOOP: The Evanston/Skokie School District has adopted a radical gender curriculum that encourages PK-3 students to celebrate the transgender flag, break the "gender binary" established by white "colonizers," and experiment with neo-pronouns such as "ze," "zir," and "tree."

In pre-kindergarten, the children are taught an "introduction" to the rainbow and transgender flags. Teachers then provide the basic concepts of gender identity, explaining that "we call people with more than one gender or no gender, non-binary or queer." pic.twitter.com/0SFbuATwwC

Not pre-kindergarten? Teachers are instructed to “gather children on the rug” to share the class flag they created as an activity.
In kindergarten, the teachers explain: "When we show whether we feel like a boy or a girl or some of each, we are expressing our gender identity … There are also children who feel like a girl and a boy; or like neither a boy or a girl. We can call these children transgender." pic.twitter.com/4quGQWVu2R

The kindergartners read books that affirm transgender conversions, look at photographs of boys in dresses, and perform a rainbow dance. At the end of the lesson, the students are encouraged to share their own gender identities with the class. "Your identity is for you to decide!" pic.twitter.com/9S3cI3ZPIT

In first grade, the teacher encourages students to experiment with gender pronouns such as "she, tree, they, he, her, him, them, ze, zir, [and] hir." The students read gender scripts and the teacher reminds them: "Whatever pronouns you pick today, you can always change." pic.twitter.com/BdI3tA4FeX

They’re teaching kids gender pronouns before they even teach them what a pronoun is, gramatically.
In third grade, students are told that white European "colonizers" imposed their "Western and Christian ideological framework" on racial minorities and "forced two-spirit people to conform to the gender binary." The teacher encourages them to "break the binary." pic.twitter.com/dW6knnMOb7

“Colonizers had xenophobia towards the Indigenous way of being, and because they did not understand two-spirit people, they forced them to be someone they weren’t.” Really. “Xenophobia” is a third-grade vocabulary word now.
The lessons conclude with an encouragement to reject the system of "whiteness" and write a letter about becoming political activists. "Society right now is very unfair,” reads a sample letter. "I see a lot of marches on the T.V. and I even went to a march last summer." pic.twitter.com/5Huv5p39YS

“My name is Jay and my pronouns are they/them/theirs. I am 9 years old.”
The curriculum in the Evanston/Skokie School District is the perfect illustration of college-level Queer Theory translated into early-elementary pedagogy. Parents have a right to be concerned and legislators have a duty to ensure that public schools reflect public values.

“Seems logical to me” said no one ever.

The key to understanding this: The Evanston school district.
Last year the superintendent of schools there accused two parents of "white supremacy" when they urged him to reopen schools after an extended COVID lockdown.

Parents who are not up in arms about this don’t really care about their kids’ education and well-being. Why should others care?

The Biden administration will make sure that those transgender 9-year-olds have paid access to gender-affirming puberty blockers and surgeries.
