Go to the bottom of that page: Recognizing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Work in our Schools
Formerly some of the links inside the recognitions didn’t work – they said request access. I FOIA’d that information, the links now work. What were they hiding?
Click on December. A teacher at Fairview Elementary (K-5) compiled an Equity Book List:
I suggest parents click on the Diverse BookFinder list. Even though Fairview is K-5, this book is listed:
The book list is extensive, at least now you can see what your young kids might be exposed to.
Click on September recognitions.
Parkside is also K-5. See what Neither is here: https://www.google.com/books/edition/Neither/fq8qDwAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=neither&printsec=frontcover
That book claims kids might not be male or female. It is written for very young kids.
You can read the Red: A Crayon’s Story here for free on Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/Red-Crayons-Story-Michael-Hall-ebook/dp/B00KACIL2C
This is a picture book which means it is for very young kids.
Schools are sanctioned with sexualizing your kids beginning in Kindergarten. Illinois made it law: https://blnnews.com/2021/06/15/sb-818-sexualizing-your-kids/
Still in public schools?
School vouchers are needed now. Parents shouldn’t be forced to pay for a school system that sexualizes their very young kids. Kids deserve to be kids! In Illinois they are groomed.
Thanks again Diane. I don’t think we know how destructive this indoctrination really is.
I learned a new term from your article where the 6th grader discovers “the love that dismantles Whiteness”.
Grade school kids need to know how to “dismantle” themselves or be “dismantled” by the teacher or other students?
They need to be blamed for things they’ve never done and don’t even recognize in themselves and then they are told that this is just more proof that its there? Is there anything more despicable, dehumanizing, confusing and cruel to a defenseless young person? To do this to a person who has no ability to defend themself, who is being manipulated by authority figures is evil.
This is abuse in its most basic form. It’s as if they are saying to our young children – 100 years ago your ancestors treated blacks and gays this way, now lets see how you like it!
Is it any wonder why depression, suicides and drug overdoses are skyrocketing?
