Public School Issues
What is Quickly Happening
in all our
Public Schools
and libraries
in the United States?
-
This page will highlight several issues.
The most recent addition to this page
is a section about the dangers of
out-of-control children
upon other students and teachers.
Note that the teachers are
being told not to directly intervene.
First Section:
Just 7 years ago, all of the staff in our public schools felt free to identify the children in our schools as boys and girls.
Children were obviously and easily identified as boys and girls - and - no one would be offended if you referred to them as such.
Today, we face a world where things have gotten a lot more complicated.
Did you know...
In 2014, Facebook created new options
for people who use their site.
They offered people a choice
between
50 different genders.
(Yes, I said 50 - And now there are more than 50.)
Consider doing a Google search if you are unfamiliar with the change.
Take note: many college students are saying that they are "gender fluid" - which means that they are not a boy or a girl.
Definition of Gender Fluid:

Our culture is quickly changing.
~
Our schools are quickly changing.
Most parents - and other concerned adults - do not have a clue
about what is beginning to be
introduced
into all the public schools
in the United States.
This page will give you some beginning information.
Take note that we here at this website
are very caring and compassionate
toward people
who are experiencing gender issues.
Likewise we are caring
toward those who think
that it is important to
slowly and carefully think through
all the ramifications
of any proposed change
before using our children
as test subjects of a new, uncharted, way of life.
Facebook says there are over 50 genders. God said he made two genders. Societies and science have agreed with God for thousands of years.
We need to tread slowly in changing our entire society - even though we want to be compassionate to those who are not satisfied with their biological gender for whatever the reason.
For most of us,
it has only been a couple of years
since we first heard about any of this.
All of us need to take some time
to think this through.
Let's be wise by
finding out
what is currently being taught
(and what is being planned)
for all our public schools.
These school changes are for all children
starting with kindergarten.
-
Please spend the time
to listen to the following video.
She explains what is going on in our schools.
As is mentioned in the above video - The book "It's Perfectly Normal" is being used in schools. Many parents think it is too pornographic to be used.
If this is confusing to you,
think how it feels to little children.
We have very difficult situations
to handle in our schools.
Do we have the freedom to think and to discuss all these issues openly or are we just pressured to parrot the ideas of the teachers' unions or other governing bodies?
~~
I encourage you to look up Sharon Armke onYoutube.
She was a public school teacher who went back to school to get
her master's degree.
Right before she graduated, they refused to let her graduate. Even though she never publicly spoke out
when her professors spent lots of class time speaking about
gender ideology - she was not allowed
to graduate the master's program because
she refused to enthusiastically affirm the gender ideology
that they had been presenting.
Are we moving toward more freedom or more indoctrination?
Gender Identity
The public schools are encouraging children
to question
what gender they are
and
what gender they might like to be.
In the video below, the teacher asks the class - three times - "Have you ever questioned your identity?"
The teacher wanted them
to raise their hand if they had.
In the above video,
the makers of the video wanted parents
to complain after something was presented.
But.... "Isn't that too late"?
Don't we need to consider ideas and school materials
before
they are presented to our children?
Vermont
June 20, 2019
Most schools can't give a child an aspirin without getting a parents' okay. But in Vermont, kids are about to get a whole lot more than Tylenol. Under a new rule, they'll be able to get entirely new bodies -- in some cases, without ever calling home.
If you thought the war on parents' rights was bad now, just wait. The Green Mountain State just dropped a massive bombshell in the transgender fight. According to local media, Vermont's health insurance regulators are about to overhaul the state's Medicaid rules, forcing taxpayers to cover the cost of everything from genital surgery to a mastectomy for minors. If the new guidelines go into effect, kids under the age of 18 would be able to undergo radical procedures -- paid for by Vermonters.
And that's not the worst of it.
With a simple judge's note,
they can bypass mom
and dad altogether.
For the rest of the story.....
ttps://www.frc.org/updatearticle/20190620/minor-problem
Below is a link that gives an example of a
school system
pushing to allow schools
to allow children to pick their gender.
Parent involvement might be sought
after a child chooses the gender....
https://www.christianpost.com/news/delaware-schools-kids-choose-race-gender-without-parental-knowledge.html
Very few people are talking
about the implications
of running full force
toward the transgender agenda
that is being pushed by so many people.
Take note that many experts say that many young children
want to be
the opposite gender
for a short time
and then
easily go back to enjoying their original gender.
So... for children who this is a temporary fascination,
adults are now seeking to make a permanent solution to
a temporary situation.
(There are some interesting thoughts in the article below.)
https://thefederalist.com/2019/04/16/feminist-pro-gay-mother-trans-child-critiques-bans-conversion-therapy/
Take note that
doctors are taking children as young as 8
and giving them hormonal medications.
Some of these children
are getting chemical castration at age 8.
-
There are no long-term studies
to show the future side-effects of the
medications given to transgender children.
And there are no public discussions
of the medical complications
that sometimes occur with medical transitioning.
Also note that there are some biological advantages
to transitioning after puberty
because there is more tissue for surgeons to work with.

Everyone should be compassionate
toward children with gender issues.
That being said - if we as a society don't think things through, we will see a new group of victims with heart-wrenching problems.
For example, what will schools do and the court system do, when a mother wants her biological son to be a girl at school and her ex-husband wants him to be a boy?
And in the case below, the biological boy wants to be a boy.
And as in the story highlighted below -
the biological boy wants to be a boy,
but the courts are forcing the dad
to go along with the transgender wishes of the mother.
This is posted in order to highlight some points but we here at this website do not support the video's decision to speak negative personal words about the mother (we haven't even heard her side) and to speak extremely unkind comments about the situation.
These are
and will be
REAL situations
that we will be facing more and more.
We need to have real, open, discussions about this topic so we don't make a new group of victims.
We need to think through these things more so we don't make new victims while we seek to help children who have gender issues.

The author of the above article was a biological male (Walt Heyer) who became a woman and lived as a woman for many years. Walt mentions in the article that he has a story similar to the child in the article. Walt now helps transgenders
who feel regret. As we can see, this topic is complicated.
We need to listen to all sides in order
to wisely think through this topic.
May 2019 Parents suing School
because of private transgender tutoring instruction.
The parents told KPTV it started when their son began using the staff
restroom
at Nellie Muir Elementary School in Woodburn
because a stomach
condition
left him feeling uncomfortable using the boys' restroom.
The parents believe the teacher assumed their son — who
was 8 at the time — was uncomfortable using the boys' restroom because
he was transgender.

Question:
Why can't we find a way
to be compassionate and inclusive
without changing everything
and adopting every detail of these agendas?
Plans go wrong with too few counselors;
many counselors bring success.
Proverbs 15:22
Living Bible Translation
In our society, we are making "transgender" appear as a popular choice.
Many children have a strong pull to make
popular choices.
This can have implications that most people are not foreseeing and thinking through.
Doctors fight back from being
FORCED to do surgeries.
Public Library Events
You might be interested
in the direction the public libraries are going.
They are having drag queen story hours
AND they are not vetting the drag queens.

Back to - School Topics
In my research for this page,
I came across information about young children
who were playing with toys at school that are usually seen for the opposite sex.
The teacher saw the child and his/ her choice of toy
and then
the teacher began to
counsel the child and help the child
with his/her "transgender feelings."
These children were not asking for help, nor were they appearing dissatisfied with their gender.
They just wanted to play with a toy
that might be seen as a toy for the opposite sex.
Haven't most of us played with toys that could be seen as being for the opposite sex?
Below we see how
Canada is handling
gender issues.
Should we just throw away
the words "boy" and "girl"
and just call children "scholars"?
-
The video below highlights that question.
No matter what you think
about the video below,
it appears to me that we need to do
more talking with one another
in order to make our schools function
more
compassionately and smoothly.
Something to think about:
After being taught the
new gender agenda
in public schools,
the college students
in the video below
don't know the
the difference between a man and a woman.
It starts at the one minute mark on the video.
We now go to
our next school topic.
Did you know
that
drag queens
are starting
to be speakers
in our schools and public libraries?
(Drag queens are biological men.)
Library story time
with a
drag queen
who asks the children,
"Who wants to be a drag queen when they grow up?"
Below: Drag Queens are
going before governing boards
seeking to get permission to have story time
with young children.
Here is another concerning report:
https://youtu.be/5_pL1g_MBPA
If you go to Youtube and put in the search bar
"Drag Queen story hour"
you will see
that there are many drag queens
who are
presenting story hour with young children.

Quote from the above link: According to the news report, Jo Guidice, Dallas library system director “said her office received more than 700 calls, 250 emails and an uncounted number of complaints on social media” about the event.
Guidice said, however, that parents who disapproved of the event could take their children to any of 17 other reading programs within the library system occurring at the same time.

Some drag queens are helping to create
the sexualization of children.
I oppose the sexualization of any child.
-
The videos below feature
an 11-year-old drag queen
who was exposed to drag queen entertainment
at age 2
and wanted to be one ever since.
Children are imitators.
What we present to children matters.
What we show to children
is likely to
influence their behavior
and
it will definitely
influence their thinking.
Let's remind ourselves that children love
being celebrated
for imitating.
And many children will change their behavior
in order to please adults.
*****
This child performs at
parades,
TV shows such as Good Morning America,
and
strip bars
(where men appear to pay him for taking off clothes).
This idea is now on MAINSTREAM media.
Good Morning America TV show
is an example of the mainstream media
pushing the sexualization
of children.
The staff on this television show
were confident that their audience will celebrate this.
There are videos of Desmond dancing in a gay bar.
For example:
https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2018/12/19/11-year-old-dances-gay-bar/
The following video
discusses the implications of the background image
prominently placed over
Amazing Desmond's head.
Some of you may want to view the following video where a drag queen answers questions from children .......
https://youtu.be/gj-X2U1z9rc
Some of you may want to read
Deuteronomy 22:5 as you
think about and evaluate the
drag queen topic.

At this point, we conclude the drag queen topic.
Are you o.k. with
leaving out the traditional family
when schools
teach about families?
The video below has a few moments of silence
before the audio starts.
This is becoming a trend.
NBC news recently presented an article called Times Up on Heterosexuality written by Marcie Bianco.
NBC columnist Marcie Bianco penned what can only be described as a bizarre column in which she argues that men are evil and “heterosexuality is just not working.”
Bianco isn’t content to denounce heterosexuality as simply not working, she goes on to explain why it is actually sexist and a tool for men to wield dominance over women.
“Framed differently, the picture is this,” Bianco continues. “Men need heterosexuality to maintain their societal dominance over women.”
“Women, on the other hand, are increasingly realizing not only that they don’t need heterosexuality, but that it also is often the bedrock of their global oppression.”
Men, on the other hand, particularly heterosexual men, are a blight on the earth.

Pornography
Pornography in our Schools
Every day
we place our precious children
in the hands of teachers, coaches, librarians, etc.
trusting that they will protect our children
- as they train them in a manner -
that does not conflict
with the long-held beliefs and traditions
of a huge part of our society.
But many times this does not happen.
Below is one of many videos I have viewed about
pornography
being put into public school curriculum
and what happens when parents try to stop it.
Notice that the news editors
chose the very last statement
of the news report
to be a comment by the author of the book
- instead of choosing a parent comment -
and therefore
the last thing we heard
was essentially
supportive of pornography in the classroom.
Before we continue this topic,

California Schools and Sex
All sex ed instruction must be acceptable to “organizations like the American Academy of Pediatrics.”
In February 2017, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) reaffirmed its position that adolescents have a “right” to abortion even without the knowledge and consent of their parents.
Parental notification laws increase “the risk of harm to the adolescent by delaying access to appropriate medical care,” the group said in its policy statement titled “The Adolescent’s Right to Confidential Care When Considering Abortion.”
“For some people, gender identity can be fluid, shifting in different contexts,” AAP said in its policy statement.
(Fluid means sometimes the child identifies as a girl and sometimes the child identifies as a boy.)

that positively portrays
Prostitution.

Also note this January 2020 news story:
Food for Thought:
One of our prayer team members
for this website
was trained as a public school teacher
over 25 years ago.
She tells that during her training
for her bachelor's degree in education
she was taught
how to deceive parents and how to marginalize parents
when parents disagree with
what a teacher wants to teach.
-
Here is a recent news article that agrees with the above:
https://activistmommy.com/teacher-transgender-agenda/
Parents Rights are being eroded
Important information
but I apologize for the speakers
being harsher than they need to be.
Teachers were told not to talk about this
In January 2019, teachers in Indiana
had to take training that involved being shot at
by soft pellets. Some were bleeding.
Whether you agree or disagree with this,
one thing that got my attention
was that the teachers were told not to talk about this.
Don't teachers still have first amendment rights?

Violence in our schools
More and More
Disruptive kids
are often
dangerous.
Revealing the rise in dangerous behavior.
Students and teachers are in danger.
AND...
More About Disruptive Kids
A personal friend of Beth and this website states:
"Fifteen years ago I was hired to work in a high school
in a southern state
helping a classroom teacher.
That teacher told me not to
EVER
interfere in a brawl between
two boys or even two girls.
She said the last time
that happened
a teacher put a hand on a boy to try to stop him
from hurting another boy
and he was fired for that. "
Folks,
if teachers stand back as a child or teen
is being beaten,
who is going to protect the victims?
We have a problem in our schools.

From the video below:
He says, "Gangs of kids will roam the building; they're looking for a certain person. They'll walk into the classroom. They'll find that kid and just start a fight in that class."
He says, "Our school is an indoor street corner. When I walk in that building, I have no idea anymore the concept of what right and wrong is."
And the video says - the goings on in the school are no secret to the administration -- after all, much of it is caught on the security cameras. The administration is more interested creating the facade of normalcy than correcting the problems.
Next video
Violence toward teachers -
The video says,
"ONLY 10% of teachers say
they have been
threatened
with injury
in the past year...."
ONLY 10% - That is a HUGE number.

More on Gender Issues
All compassionate people are concerned
about the plight of children with gender issues.
Yet we need to
not only
approach this topic
with our stirred up emotions
but also with a lot of ideas and other input
from all parents.
Gender Studies
No matter what you think of the above video,
the curriculum
of gender studies college courses
are so out-of-step
that I venture to say that
this curriculum would concern
the vast majority of the adult population.
One concern is how women in the U.S.
are taught
that they are just as oppressed
as women
in all other countries.
~
Another concern is how
men
are being portrayed and downplayed.
Subtle public school programming concerning
how to view
boys and men
will be discussed on page two.
New ideas start in colleges
New curriculum
starts in college
and then proceeds to move down
to high school and then middle school and then
elementary school.
In the next video,
you will hear about
"questionable required curriculum courses"
needed in order to receive a college degree.
Note that:
the political correctness
intimidation
that the girl talks about
is currently being practiced
in most schools in all grades of public school.
We often lower our concerns about curriculum
because we somehow think
that our children will magically absorb our values
and see the rightness of our views
while they sit in a classroom for 35 hours a week
listening to politically correct teaching
that is actually having a
powerful influence on their thoughts and behaviors.
Consider the following:
Luke 6:40 says -
Students are not greater than their teacher.
But the student
who is fully trained will become like the teacher.
How can you really know what is going on in our schools?
After all,
parents can't go into a classroom
without being announced or
having planned ahead with the teacher.
So we don't really know
what is being taught in our child's school.
Let's decide to wake up...
Let's do some research...
Let's be part of the discussion.
