Former anti-critical race theory crusader Christopher Rufo has set his sights on academic queer theory in public schools. Critics will accuse him of wanting LGBTQ students harassed and bullied, but the training teachers and staff have undergone goes way further than that. Teachers are told that white European colonizers forced the false “gender binary” on native peoples, and that heterosexual and cisgender privilege are the basis of institutional power and must be disrupted. As studies show, the early grades are the best time to introduce gender identity, before “cisnormative” values become ingrained in the children’s minds.
Now we’re moving on to the Sacramento City Unified School District and its training programs for teachers and staff:
SCOOP: Sacramento City Unified has laundered radical gender theory into K-12, promoting the idea that heterosexuality is oppressive, encouraging teachers to “normalize” child sexual transitions, and glamorizing identities such as “polyamorous,” “genderf*ck,” and “kink/BDSM.” 🧵

Sacramento Unified has been working on this for a decade. In 2012, the district invited academic queer theorist Elizabeth Meyer to conduct a leadership presentation on how to launder “queer pedagogy” into the K-12 system and create “sexual diversity.” pic.twitter.com/3IYku3cHTR

Rufo writes in City Journal:
… The district’s schools, including many elementary schools, have put gender-identity theory into the curriculum and created teacher-driven “Gender & Sexuality Alliance” clubs. In a recent training document titled “How to Be a Transgender Ally,” the district provides teachers and administrators with the entire range of queer theory terminology, promoting concepts and sexual identities such as “bi-gender,” “genderqueer,” “two-spirit,” “polysexual,” “pansexual,” “drag queens,” and “transsexuals.” The document instructs school staff to “normalize gender exploration and gender variance” and to “encourage exploration of options” for transgender students, who “may turn to hormones and/or surgery as validation of their emerging identity.”

Waiting for the rest of the thread, but: I expect some screenshots or links of classroom curriculum that makes me want to vomit.

Not sure how anyone calling themselves a parent would send their kids to these schools.

There was a time within living memory when revelations of this kind would have resulted in mass firings, investigations, apologies, intense media scrutiny, etc. Now a mere whisper of opposition to this madness is treated like thoughtcrime. Frightening times we're living in.

Oh and I’m sure that parents were made aware this would be introduced to their Kindergarten students. I am still amazed that fathers are not speaking out against this more. It saddens me.

Can someone explain in simple terms what the primary rationale is behind the push to indoctrinate children with this radical gender identity ideology? I just can't wrap my head around what's going on and why? Thanks.

From what we’ve read, it goes like this: parents (the enemy) are likely to raise their children with “cisnormative” values, i.e., that being straight is “normal.” Teachers need to intervene to create “inclusive spaces” and break down the systemic heteronormative culture so that kids grow up accepting of all gender identities and preferences. If not, they’re sure to turn to violence and shoot up gay dance clubs.

State sanctioned grooming.
If you replace hetero, with the rich this reads as straight communist dogma.
