Now Our Schools Want to Teach Kids That there is No Such Thing as 'Gender'

From Warner Todd Huston, at RWN, "'Gender Fluidity'":

This is how bad our schools are getting. Now schools want to teach our children that there is no such thing as a human gender and that we are all open to “gender fluidity.”

Todd Starnes of Fox News is reporting that public schools in Virginia want to start teaching kids about “gender identity.” The school wants to teach that there is no such thing as gender except that which the individual decides.

Fairfax County Public Schools released a report recommending changes to their family life curriculum for grades 7 through 12. The changes, which critics call radical gender ideology, will be formally introduced next week.

“The larger picture is this is really an attack on nature itself – the created order,” said Peter Sprigg of the Family Research Council.

“Human beings are created male and female. But the current transgender ideology goes way beyond that. They’re telling us you can be both genders, you can be no gender, you can be a gender that you make up for yourself. And we’re supposed to affirm all of it.”

The plan calls for teaching seventh graders about transgenderism and tenth graders about the concept that sexuality is a broader spectrum — but it sure smells like unadulterated sex indoctrination.

I have said it a million times, we need to tear down our “schools,” eliminate liberals from them, and re-build them into something useful. Our schools are an international laughing stock and this story is yet another example of why.
