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.
