Educator explains why parents should trust experts like herself to teach gender and identity

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.

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.

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.
