Again:  NO parental permission is apparently equired for such cynical intrusions, even in kindergarten classes. 

Instead, Superintendent Malloy has attempted falsely (April 19 SRVUSD Board meeting) to justify homosexualized and transgenderized classroom activism, including the pernicious read-aloud picture-book propaganda above, by saying that under Ed Code Section 60040, “Our educators MUST do this….  It is a REQUIREMENT…. It actually MUST be done.”  

Again, that’s false.  Ed Code 60040 requires “portrayal of the societal role and contributions of various groups, including lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans “to the total development of California and the United States.”  Instead, nearly all the books involved are pure fiction, with homosexual and transgender themes.  And uniformly, the themes involved are developmentally inappropriate for the very young children who are being targeted by them.

One wants to ask of SRVUSD activists, echoing the rescuers in Lord of the Flies:  Are there any adults — any grownups with you ?"

SRVUSD AND "GENDER-SUPPORT PLANS"

 

The SRVUSD Board of Education and central-office administrators have belied their claim to consider parents as "partners," and allowed activist school-site administrators and teachers — and outside third parties to push the sexualizing and transgenderizing of the children in their charge.  For additional evidence of that problem, see SRVUSD's "LGBTQ+" page.

 

There, after references for visitors to a series of activist organizations and websites as "Family Resources for Gender Inclusivity," you'll find a brief description of the District's "Gender Support Plan" scheme.   Separate school-site designees for managing "gender support" include no psychiatrists, and only 2 psychologists — in other words,  mostly a collection of unlicensed, amateur psychotherapists authorized by SRVUSD to counsel children in supposedly changing their genders.

Parents are consulted in creating these plans only with the child's permission.  And the assessment of asserted need for "gender support" is a form provided by Gender Spectrum, an activist outfit which enthusiastically supports "gender-identity affirmation."  That can include "social transition" (including name and pronoun changes), hormonal transition (with puberty-blocking drugs) and surgical transition (mutilation of healthy body parts) to reinforce "gender-identity" psychoses.

What is clear is that SRVUSD is allowing — in many ways, encouraging — its sex and gender activists to confuse even its youngest children.  Many parents (supposedly, SRVUSD "partners," says the District) have been dismayed and angered to discover that children's teachers have been requiring kids to specify their preferred pronouns, for the whole classroom, then worsening things further with homosexual and transgender-themed read-aloud picture books (as detailed above). 

Most children enter classrooms feeling that in dress and mannerisms, their preferred pronouns are perfectly obvious; so they can be confused and embarrassed at having to specify them. 

 

Kids are fluidly plastic in their perceptions of self, and they are generally insecure. They go through natural phases wherein boys prefer the company of other boys and girls the company of other girls.  If they begin to hear hints or even assertions from irresponsible adults that such associations may indicate a tendency toward transgenderism, the kids may believe it. Instead, for most kids, there comes a time when opposite-sex attraction becomes a determinative behavioral impulse. 

A small percentage of children experience gender dysphoria, or discomfort with their physically apparent and even chromosomally determined sex, and seem to be manifesting a transgender inclination or some so-called non-binary identity.   But of even of that small percentage, approximately 70-80% eventually desist, or turn away, from the psychosis of transgenderism, so long as that condition is not treated with "gender-affirming care" — i.e., not socially affirmed, not hormonally reinforced with dangerous puberty-blocking drugs, and not mutilated surgically. 

 

So the ideologies and politics of the District’s gender activists, whether subtle or pushed overtly by radical gender benders, do not belong in classrooms. If a stranger in a park came up to these young children and advocated what they're hearing and seeing from some teachers, it would be a case of "stranger-danger" grooming and potential arrest.
