Over the past year, plenty of videos of parents condemning Critical Race Theory (CRT) and other assorted indoctrinations at school board meetings have gone viral, with many pundits citing the parental revolt against public school propaganda as a key reason that Terry McAuliffe lost the Virginia gubernatorial race. This is a good thing, but I’m not nearly as bullish on the projected effects of this backlash as some conservative commentators. I think the rot has set in too far and and the termites have been dining for too long to recover the public education system. LGBT education is now integrated fully into the curriculum of nearly all public schools; educators with ideological agendas have become teachers specifically to proselytize children, and it would be incredibly difficult to implement the sort of reforms necessary to recover these schools.
Public school teachers are often deliberately working against parents to ensure that children turn out to be “allies,” join LGBT clubs, and reject the values of their parents. I have received many emails and messages from parents who have essentially seen their children stolen from them by the state’s education wing–but this has been happening for several decades. It’s just that the ideologues are more brazen because they know that they’ve won, and that if they end up in court fighting against parents on issues such as gender identity, they’re fairly certain that they will win. The heartbreak this has caused in many families is awful.
Consider this story, posted recently by Rod Dreher on his blog at The American Conservative:
The Spreckels USD out in California had a public meeting on Wednesday night, at which some parents let the board members have it over their disgusting pro-transgender manipulation of the minds of vulnerable students, behind the backs of parents. Watch this Mama Bear tear into those perverted teachers:
THREAD: 2 teachers at a California school reportedly coached a 12 year old into a trans identity behind her parents back. The school also changed her name and pronouns without informing the parents.
Konen claims that one of the teachers coaxed her daughter to join a lunch-hour “Equality Club” and began affirming her daughter as transgender.
Near the end of sixth grade, Konen’s daughter told her she might be bisexual, and by the middle of the seventh grade, Konen was called to the school for a meeting with her daughter, a teacher, and the school principal.
The teacher told Konen her daughter was “trans fluid.”
“I sat across the table, and I was crying. I was trying to absorb everything.”
“They kept looking at me angrily because I kept saying ‘she,’ and that it was going to take me time to time to process everything,” she said. “I was very confused. … I was very upset. I was blindsided—completely blindsided.”
The teacher accused Konen of not being “emotionally supportive” of her daughter, who was to be called by a new name and male pronouns and would be using the unisex restroom at school.
“I felt she completely coached my child,” Konen said.
Konen said she was hurt that her daughter had not come to her first and the teacher acted in mean-spirited “smirking” way towards her.
“It made me feel very, very small as a parent. I was unaware of anything. Not one time had she mentioned to me ‘Oh, I think that I want to change my name,’ or ‘I’m transgender’ or anything. Nothing. I only heard bisexual one time, and that was it,” Konen said.
Within a few days of the meeting, the King City Police Department showed up at her door and told her that there had been a complaint made to Child Protective Services (CPS). The police questioned her two children and asked them if they wanted to be removed from the home.
“They made me feel like a monster,” she said.
But Konen complied and took her children to meet with CPS that week. According to Konen, CPS dropped the case and did not demand she call her daughter by masculine pronouns as her teacher had insisted. Throughout the school year, Konen was afraid to ask questions about her daughter or her school activities, fearing that CPS could take her children away.
If you’re shocked by this story, you haven’t been paying attention. This is what happens at those schools. They will teach your children a new ideology, and use the force of the state to ensure that there’s nothing you can do if you object. To protect your children in post-modern North America, the first fact you must accept is that the government is actively working against you. Act accordingly.
