Did you know that the Parkview Elementary school teaches human sexuality at the school? It isn’t required by state law, so our board of education approved this. One can only assume they believe it’s appropriate.
Did you know? This was news to me when a local concerned parent reached out to me and shared the link to the student handbook. I was shocked, thought it must be a mistake. Surely this parent misunderstood. But there it was in black and white under “Instruction”. Human sexuality is being taught in the Parkview elementary school.
In the interest of transparency, we are still waiting to to see the curriculum to determine what exactly they’re teaching. But honestly it’s what isn’t on the curriculum that’s being taught that concerns me. The curriculum allows human sexuality to be taught, I’m concerned about what will be added by teachers with an agenda that isn’t approved. See the blog post on the report on what tenured teachers are doing in New York.
What child in kindergarten or Pre-K is emotionally developed and ready for a discussion on human sexuality? I’d argue they simple are not and it may be doing actual harm. The teacher is not equipped or trained to know which students are ready for that conversation. Besides, that should be a conversation that parents choose if and when their child is ready. Not a school district which makes that decision for parents without parental input.
Here is a brief video where I show the student handbook and discuss this concern. We will have more content in this issue as we see curriculum.
This is a great article that talks about the dangers of sexualizing our kids and the real damage that can be done to children.
It’s an unfortunate reality of the times in which we live, but we can no longer blindly trust our schools with our kids. In this article with video, Project Veritas highlights exactly why parents and tax payers need to start paying attention and go get involved in our public schools. I believe this piece also brings up serious concerns about the tenure system and how it protects teachers who are openly doing stuff like this.
Folks, this isn’t an isolated incident. This is happening all across the United States. It’s a coordinated effort. We need to start paying attention.
Recently we brought to the attention of the Cameron school district a FAQ’s page from Hope In a Box, where they discuss how educators can discuss gender and sexuality with young students.
We asked the school district about requiring teachers with personal in class libraries to report what books they have to the district. That would allow the public to see what content is being provided to the students and to ensure that appropriate content is being given to our students. We asked if the district would be willing to require teachers to report what was in their library to the district.
What is the official position of the district? To allow the teachers to decide what is appropriate. And if a parent discovers one of those books recommended to help teachers discuss gender and sexuality with our young students? Why go discuss those book concerns with the teacher! It appears Matt Robinson and the board of education are unwilling to do anything to help ensure the porn we are seeing in schools across our country make it into our classrooms here in Cameron.
We are to just trust the educators because they are “trained” and are the “experts”. You know how and why those books got into those other school classrooms and libraries that you now see in the news weekly? Because feckless school administrators blindly trusted those trained experts. When there is a string of burglaries in your neighborhood you don’t simply trust your police department to make sure your home isn’t robbed. You lock the doors and install security cameras to protect your home.
Today I was doing some digging about the organization which the librarian requested to send a box of books to the school. That group is Hope In a Box. Hope In a Box is the organization that sent the book All Boys Aren’t Blue.
It took me just a few minutes to find this gem on a FAQ’s sheet they make for teachers and librarians on their website.
The question is “How should I talk to younger students about gender and sexuality.” They shouldn’t of course, that’s not their job. No one at the school should be discussing sexuality with kids, especially the younger ones. Scroll to the bottom of the picture and see the age groups for the books they recommend.
The Cameron school district requested books from an organization which encourages teachers and librarians to have discussions with students about gender and sexuality. Of course Hope In a Box intends that book All Boys to be used to push their agenda.
How young of students are they referring to in this FAQ page? Great question. See in the picture above the book Neither? It’s for ages 2-6. That’s a book that’s recommended by Hope In a Box for younger students. It looks like they recommend teachers and librarians discuss gender and sexuality with students as young as 2.
How long will the board ignore what we all know? These books are NOT appropriate and the librarian is absolutely pushing an agenda. Sexuality is being pushed on our kids and our school district sits and ignores the problem.
Stop sexualizing our kids. Remove the porn and inappropriate material from our schools.
I have created this page for two express purposes. To promote transparency and accountability. As I am creating this page, my current quest for transparency and accountability is directed at the school district of Cameron, MO.
It is my firm belief that we are a representative republic. I firmly believe in the God given rights guaranteed to us in our Constitution and the limits it places on the government. Because we are a representative republic, government officials are directly accountable to the people who elect them. In order for them to be accountable for the decisions they make while serving us, it is necessary for those elected officials to be transparent.
Join me as I cover issues concerning transparency, accountability and our community.
