What do tax-paying supporters of public education want for our school children?
Some basics are: ORDER; DISCIPLINED ACADEMIC INSTRUCTION. We’d also like to see a LEARNING ENVIRONMENT FREE OF GENDER THEORY and POLITICAL AGENDAS. Where KIDS can be KIDS and be safe from intrusion on their innocence.
When students are asked to comply with identity politics, TRUTH is compromised by coercion to deny REALITY AND BIOLOGY.
Teens are excited to start back to school, wanting to please teachers, parents; see friends…What they get is CONFUSION-flags representing gender; teachers asking what personal pronouns they identify with. A girl sees boys in her restroom, then worries about saying the wrong PRONOUN…NOW THAT… CAUSES ANXIETY! Because children are not developed enough to process this emotionally or intellectually.
Parents and schools are supposed to work together. SCHOOLS USED TO TEACH CIVICS AND TRAIN CHILDREN FOR JOBS AND CAREERS. THE REST WAS UP TO FAMILIES- TO GIVE THEM MORAL AND SOCIAL GROUNDING; AND LOVE THEM INTO BECOMING SELF-CONTROLLED, RESPONSIBLE ADULTS. When did parents give government schools permission to assume parental authority by promoting sexual orientation and gender identity to their kids? Some staff have overstepped boundaries of personal privacy and exploited children’s insecurities.
Administration fears litigation and follows undecided law. But THERE ARE Ohio districts that teach biological based SEXUAL identity, NOT feelings based GENDER identity. They see that Pride flags represent a sub culture of society that believe in non-conforming behavior and that these symbols send mixed messages, distract from education and don’t belong in schools.
THE ENTIRE SCHOOL PROPERTY SHOULD BE A “SAFE SPACE” FOR ALL STUDENTS; NOT JUST CLASSROOMS DISPLAYING PRIDE FLAGS. ALTERING common language by personal pronoun selection shames children who disagree and compels them to affirm a lie.
Our schools deserve unbiased mental health professionals to help gender confused children. They also deserve TRUTH. Can we PLEASE work together to ensure a healthy school atmosphere for all students by minimizing these social influences? WE ASK our administration and staff to remove gender politics of PRIDE SYMBOLS and STAFF PROMPTING OF PRONOUN CHOICE, so we can restore ORDER AND DISCIPLINED ACADEMICS.
That’s what the tax-paying supporters of public education want for our children.
