Kindergarten-Aged Children to Participate in ‘National Coming Out Day’ in Los Angeles – American Faith

Purpose in posting the following article from American Faith, at  https://americanfaith.com/

I graduated from high school in 1969 and it wasn’t until I was in my sixties and afterward that I began to understand how society had impacted me: the beatnik and hippy movements, free-love movements, Woodstock….

As I remember, I accepted that my teachers’ expectations of me were right, reasonable…; until I was in 9th grade and was openly humiliated by a teacher over some homework assignment. Thereafter, I silently questioned other teachers. Never once, did I oppose a teacher.

I was a fairly aggressive youth, over 6 feet tall, weighing about 200 pounds.

I grew up in a culture that believed that God’s commands determined the nature of truth, right and wrong.

As I reflect on the values of the teachers I had, it is clear to me that they also looked to God’s commands for a reference point regarding the nature of right and wrong.

The first thing I thought this morning, upon reading the headline above, was that the state has become god. The state dictates what is moral to its teachers; they in turn, require compliance of their students.

The next thing that occurred to me is that it is no wonder that young people thing communism is just fine; that truth is relative; that there is no evil….

Kindergarten-Aged Children to Participate in ‘National Coming Out Day’ in Los Angeles

Los Angeles Unified School District’s (LAUSD) elementary schools are requiring students as young as five years old to participate in “National Coming Out Day.”

From Oct. 9 to 13, LAUSD students will take part in a Pride-centric “Week of Action.”

Teachers have been provided a “toolkit” for classroom activities, discussion points, and learning about “intersectionality.”

“This toolkit has been created to provide educators a variety of sample lesson plans & activities in adherence with the California FAIR Education Act,” the toolkit document reads. “The following materials can be adapted to meet the unique needs of your students.”

For each day of the school week, students will learn about a different LGBTQ individual.

The figures to be studied include social media personality Jazz Jennings, actress Ellen Page, who now goes by “Elliot,” activist Marsha P. Johnson, and athletes Layshia Clarendon and Carl Nassib.

On the last day of the “Week of Action,” students will take a “Pledge of Allyship,” promising to “Use kind language when talking about all teachers, staff, classmates and their families even if they are different from themselves;” “Be an Upstander by sticking up for others, if safe to do so, otherwise they will ask a grown up for help;” and “Encourage and teach others to be allies.”

Reporting from The Blaze:

Heather Mac Donald, writing for City Journal, noted that while elementary school children in the LAUSD will be up to snuff on the latest in gender ideology, last year, 61% of third-graders did not meet "California's watered-down, equity-driven standard for English."

Furthermore, "59 percent of third-graders failed to meet the state's already-low standard for math competency. Over 76 percent of LAUSD eighth-graders did not meet math standard."

The following news brief is from Curtis Bowers’ Agenda Weekly of September 16-22 of 2023 and is relevant to this post:

14. PENNSYLVANIA STUDENTS WALKOUT OVER TRANSGENDER POLICIES: Students in Perkiomen Valley High School staged a walkout over their school’s transgender bathroom policies. Stephanie Ott, the mother of one of the students, stated, “The safety of females is so important, and these students that stood out, that walked out, they are to be commended. They have courage, and they exercise their First Amendment rights.”

[I highlighted the last sentence because it makes a statement about my comments that opened this post, how rare it is for a student to take a stand against a teacher.]
