I had my eye on the standards since they were first announced and went to our board with concern. Since we are able to opt out, I refuse to stress for other clueless parents. Iām done fighting their battles for them š
Wow. Gosh. OK. Maybe there's some things you don't understand. You seem to think that by teaching children that gender stereotypes can be limiting, the classroom teacher is somehow endorsing that position. In other words, you seem to fundamentally misunderstand how curriculum guidelines work. You say, "Iām going to start with the one I find most egregious and that is explaining āgender and how gender-role stereotypes may limit behavior.ā Why are you trying to tell my kids how their behavior is limited because they are a boy or a girl when Iāve spent their entire life telling them that there is no limits for them?" This seems like a basic misunderstanding of the guideline. No, teachers are not enforcing gender stereotypes. They are doing *exactly* what you claim to also be doing - trying to help children understand that although gender stereotypes exist, we don't have to allow them to limit our behavior.
I'm deeply concerned that you are pushing a whole movement to take over school boards when you don't seem to have even the most basic understanding of how classrooms and curricula work.
I find your opposition to the discussion of how gender stereotypes can limit behavior very confusing. It sounds like the whole point is to discuss how gender stereotypes, like only boys play with cars and trucks, can make a girl feel like she canāt play with trucks because theyāre a āboy thing.ā Why are you against discussing how those attitudes can be limiting to young boys and girls? Itās cool that you have been breaking stereotypes your whole life, but what about the kids who donāt have a role model like you, and just hear the stereotypes? Donāt you think theyād benefit from learning how stereotypes might be limiting their behavior, and they donāt have to conform to them after all?
Thank you for 1) thinking for yourself (which is quite uncommon today) and 2) caring enough to stand up to this insanity.
I have some big plans in place with major stakeholders, so please email me if you want to connect. I can tell that you could be an invaluable asset in advocating for reason (and parental/family rights) in NJ public education.
It's not an anti-child agenda. It is an anti-family agenda. The government becomes stronger and more powerful when there is no family structure. If you let your kids be SOCIALLY AND EMOTIONALLY trained, they will grow up and challenge and reject your beliefs and ethics. Remember how in 2020 people would stop talking to their family because of presidential candidates and/or masking/COVID? These people were so brainwashed and self righteous that they abandoned their elderly parents to stand with POLITICAL IDEOLOGIES. Imagine that on a grander scale in 10-15 years? That is the whole point of pushing all this crap. Your kids will hate you because you refuse to go along with whatever new crap the government wants to push. They have undergone the SEL re-education. You haven't.
