OK, three thoughts before we get to the video. First, TikTok has convinced this editor that you must dye your hair pink, purple, or green in order to be hired into the public school system. Second, notice how this educator puts finger quotes around the word “life skills,” like math and science and reading. Third, we believe it’s a small minority of parents who object to sex education in school. This teacher overlooks, as everyone else did, the fact that the so-called “Don’t Say Gay” bill in Florida applied to grades kindergarten through third grade. Most parents are just asking for age-appropriate sex education.
Just because you’re a parent and have kids doesn’t mean you know enough about sexuality to teach your kids. For the same reason you entrust your child to an “expert” to teach math and science you should entrust your child to an expert to teach them about gender and identity.
These "educators" do not respect why parents don't want other people to discuss sex with their children.
This desperation to go into depth with children about sex is a huge red flag to me as a parent.pic.twitter.com/OcYYfacc5t

I’ll believe this “expert” nonsense when universities stop letting professional “educators” graduate with 2.7 GPAs.
Home schooling bypasses 90% of this.

This is why I will continue to donate to the Catholic School near me. I may worship elsewhere but in terms of education, yet to find better.

I have a thought too and it goes like this. As she mainly appeals to the expert class, just because one might be considered an “expert” does not render them incapable of crossing important boundaries of appropriateness with children.

4. Experts are usually vetted through some well established guidelines and previous practice. Where does she think her credentials come from?

Great argument! I still don't give anyone else permission to discuss sex or gender identity with my kids. And furthermore, the idea that a young single childless teacher can teach "relationships" better than a happily married mom of 20+ years? No.

I would like to see her explain quadratic equations before hearing more about her feelings in sexuality education.

So, a 2nd grade math teacher is a professional who is able to teach gender and sexuality to elementary students? Did I miss something here?

Yes, I’m an expert on MY child. Period.

It should be a red flag. It’s my number one red flag with these types. Same with drag story hour. Children are a protected demographic, for obvious evolutionary reasons. Why do these people want so badly to address rooms full of children about sexuality?

What’s the need of it? That’s my question in there, where’s the need to be talking about it to young ones when we dont have space in our timeline to read all the books that we would love to read due to lack of time, for example. What’s the value of it at a young age?

How many times do we have to explain this? Research says that the early grades are the best time to introduce children to gender identity and sexuality before “cisnormative” values are ingrained in their minds. Gotta get to them early before their parents do.
These people literally act like they are psychologists.
That’s half of this problem.
Stick to teaching about things you do understand and stop trying to practice psychology without a license.
Gender identity is psychological.

Did that person just say “our children”. I find myself unable to watch the video again but I think she or he or whatever did.

It’s like Terry McAuliffe and Randi Weingarten argued during his gubernatorial campaign; leave teaching to the experts. Stay out of it and be thankful for public schools doing what you’re not capable of.
