“When I went to elementary school they taught us the ABCs, not the LGBs.”

Introduction

It is difficult for parents to know what is in the curriculum of a typical public school. Many public schools never bother to tell parents about changes in the curriculum.

Most parents would be surprised to know how much woke material is quietly replacing older material that encouraged American patriotism and Judeo-Christian values.

The Rise of Transgender Children

One of the trends being promoted in schools is enabling children to claim to be a different gender.

A mother in Tallahassee, Florida discovered that the school her 13-year-old daughter attended was “glorifying and celebrating” transgender identities without notifying the parents.

A mother in Wayne, Pennsylvania said “Our children need consent to take Tylenol at school, but schools will allow children to change their names and bathroom choices without telling the parents.”

The number of youths between 18 to 24 who identify as transgender has soared from 2 percent in 2017 to 39 percent today. The LGBTQ message is everywhere and it is targeting young people.

“Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria” is embraced by mainstream media, the entertainment industry, and social media.

A study of nationwide hospital databases between 2016 and 2019 saw a 390 percent increase in adolescents ages 12 to 17 obtaining chest surgeries. 61 percent of the surgeries were covered by private health insurance.

Woke Elementary Schools Behind Gender Confusion

According to the President of “No Left Turn in Education” Dr. Elana Fishbein, in schools today when kids are entering kindergarten and elementary schools, classes are started with the teachers asking the students what pronouns they want to be referred to as.

Parental Rights

Responding to the sexualization of children in schools, lawmakers across the nation are passing legislation to give parents more control over what their kids are exposed to in the classroom.

The trend began last year in Florida when lawmakers passed the “Parents Bill of Rights” which prohibits sex changes without the parent’s knowledge. The bill also ensures that parents have access to their children’s curriculum and allows parents to opt-out of controversial lessons.

In November 2022, parental rights groups chalked up victories in getting elected to school boards across the country.

Conclusion

Transgender is one of several woke ideologies embraced by liberal radicals that have risen in the past decade.

Woke ideology will destroy itself because it is not grounded in truth. A sign that people are starting to see the flaws in woke ideology is that mainstream comedians are making jokes about it.

Comedian Bill Maher has repeatedly called out the elite left for their woke ideas and says they are providing a lot of material for his jokes.
