Brainwashing at a young age
They already are! Those who even use pronouns are delusional!
No not really. Only those that use WRONG pronouns are delusional (or make their entire personality revolve around it)
honestly, let’s just appreciate the fact that it isn’t forced and there is an option for the parents who have their heads screwed on right to make sure their children are not exposed to it.
i don’t agree with it at all, but at the very least they didn’t force it on everyone.
But you know if you opt out, you'll now be on the naughty list. It's vile, IMO.
i’d rather be ostracized than have my child subjected to this. it is vile.
its taking actual educational time away from students there to learn, not play pretend
i agree. these kinds of conversations don’t have any place in a damn elementary school. makes me sick 🙃
make sure their children are not exposed to it.
You are looking at this all wrong. The kids not in class on those days will be the "weird kids" they will face social castigation, or they will fall into line with the rest of the kids. They will still be exposed to it everywhere else in school.
i don’t think i’m looking at it wrong at all. as a former “weird kid” i think it’s okay to face adversity in the face of the truth— even if it comes at a young age. what is your solution if you think being exposed to it is inevitable? to just sit back and allow it to happen?
While I agree with you about facing adversity, actually not that it's okay but rather a necessity; children fold to peer pressure. They want to fit in.
sure, totally understood. what do you suppose we do? i mean that genuinely. of course kids all want to be involved and included with groups. it’s part of human nature. but what do we do when that social aspect is allowing our kids to be subjected in non truths? homeschool? fight the entire curriculum? or just accept that the most we can do in this situation is make sure our kids are exposed to as little of it as possible and simply teach them right from wrong at home?
i hope that doesn’t come off an insincere. my child is not yet in school and i am trying to figure out how to navigate these things are we get closer to that point.
Well I am just some schmuck on the internet so don't take my word as pure wisdom. I think you just take an active role in their schooling. Explain to them that some things they learn will be factually incorrect and that no one person truly has all the answers.
When they come home with questions, talk to them and teach them, or they will learn from someone else.
that’s certainly the plan!
it is alarming how many parents choose to blindly trust the public school system and are generally uninvolved parents in their children’s education.
despite being some schmuck on the internet, i do appreciate this conversation. best we can do is show them the right way.
The children will be exposed the next day when the other students are all calling everyone else they them dog cat etc and of course when the teacher reviews with the class yesterdays activities. It’s delusional, degrading bullship. The schools have proven they cannot be trusted with sex education let alone gender identity ideology.
Well, if they didn’t make it optional, there would be an equivalent of a run on the bank situation—parents would definitely take their kids out indefinitely resulting in that school’s closure.
If I start to see something like this in my children’s school, that’s definitely the time to take them out and do home school. I don’t have high hopes for higher education any more either.
It might be best for them to learn certain skills instead of college. Even, ironically, Google is hiring skilled coders which doesn’t necessarily need a degree, just the skills.
Also, I just paid my electrician what essentially amounted to $150 per hour. Times have changed. Skills pay the bills.
Yeah the opt out list is just so they know who they have to keep out of the circle. What we need is for some sane parent to act like they are 100% on board and volunteer to recor....ERm help out the class
And. Hear me out. Your kids are going to be exposed to this at some point in their lives. Let them learn about while also teaching them what you think. Give them the resources and knowledge and let them figure things out.
Or. We can teach them this is not okay and anyone who participates in it is mentally ill.
yes, absolutely.
i would rather my child not be indoctrinated into the abomination that is “other” pronouns. my child will learn what is factually correct.
yes, children will be exposed at some point in their lives. elementary school isn’t the place.
Michigan...no surprise there. Something tells me they aren't pushing that kind of garbage too hard around Dearborn yet though.
Unironically try to make them do it. See how that goes.
I'd pay money to see them try.
How old is your kid btw? Why would elementary school kids EVER give a fk about this shit?
They are teaching this to kindergartners and 1st graders. This school only offers kindergarten and 1st grade.
that is even worse. they’re supposed to be learning their ABC’s and shapes. we’re living in a clown world.
Instead, it's the 'zay, zee, she's'
horrible lmao
The fact that a public school is pushing this shit is shocking to me. I know way too many friends of mines kids now that have been brainwashed at 13-15 at thinking they were born a different gender it’s crazy.
The fact that it’s a public Elementary school makes the shock even worse.
They are making every effort to get them while they’re young!
I'd absolutely exempt my child from this "lesson", but silver lining, at least they're giving the parents a heads up and an option to excuse. In a few more years, I bet even that minor courtesy will be off the table. Here in CA, it's probably considered heresy to even acknowledge that something like this is controversial, and I'm quite sure there would be no advance notice.
This is literal indoctrination. Under the guise of “acceptance and inclusion.”
State social worker so the state can report
It says school social worker not state.
Does the course explain this pronoun shit is like 5-7 years old at most?
Insanity.
I taught history for 5 years, the only project i had to get parents to sign a form for was an optional extra credit report on Schindler's list. I showed the film (the students were 16-18 years old) and let them write a report on it.
If it wasn't in the textbook or related to the curriculum, i didn't teach it. A Teacher should never tell students what or how to think but teach the students to think for themselves and come to their own conclusions. Many teachers and college professors sadly do not teach this way.
Also this school only offers Kindergarten and 1st grade. So they are teaching this to kindergarten and 1st graders.
Keep kids home that day!
With all the learning loss from covid, I’m glad they’re focusing time and resources on what really matters!
That's why I'm putting kids into private school. No brainwashing, BS from already shitty public schools.
These people are obsessed with sex involving children. They should be banned from any school. It’s not like they even do a good job with everyday education!
I don’t have any pronouns, it’s quite simple, don’t refer or talk about me when I’m not around.
Here's a thought, and hear me out:
Children don't even use pronouns. They don't know what pronoun means. They care about giggling and love. They care about time with their friends and funny TV shows.
Why are we trying to shorten childhoods? It's become almost illegal to grow up as a child should. This is true and very horrifying indoctrination. You should all be afraid and concerned for you children in public school systems.
Let kids be kids. They just want fun and friends, man.
Day, dem, der,
Dangerous ground to give, the pronoun game is the start of the changes the left wants to implement into every day Language to push their ideology.
How about working on math, English, science, and history? Like I don’t know, the stuff that matters?
Supposedly this was cancelled due to -- according to the commies that infest /r/Michigan -- "terroristic" threats.
Where is the outrage from parents???? Let’s start with basic English, you don’t get to pick your pronouns. The English grammar exists for a reason.
That principal and that superintendent should be thrown into prison
Fight wokeism. Defund education.
Batshit crazy
Superintendent has a racial slur for a last name. I’m offended. /s
I didnt notice this until now xD
It should be opt in not opt out.
Did I see something recently that some funding is going to be tied to schools requiring this??? 🤔
I can see why so many are home schooling now
Just garbage 🗑️
Thank god they gave you the option to opt out. Most places would’ve just put your child through the program only for you to hear about it months after it’s already left its impact on their mind.
Time to home school.
Guess
Science and Anatomy is not longer taught
2 genders is Science!
Demons of the Bible called themselves they/them.
What I love is how this wasn't even really a thing a couple of years ago and now it's in the school curriculum, acknowledged that doctors have no basis to assign your sex at birth, and that you're a Nazi if you don't do this or even question it.
Time to pull out your child
What gets me most about the trans community, is they want everyone to accept them for who they are, but they wouldn't even accept themselves as who they are, so they decide to change their gender to something else. Why should everyone else accept you when you won't even accept yourself?
Can I sign for every child there to not participate???
Nope, little Johnny will be home sick that day. And this is why your children’s education should be at the local level only.
It's appalling that this is being pushed on children in public schools.
That principal would catch hell from me.
Every parent should excuse their child from this.
Sorry. Have to opt out from an organization that prefers gag orders over debate. No longer credible.
Idiocracy is here!
I'd withhold my kid.
Yeah and sign a letter for excusal so they have evidence of your bigotry…smh
Nope right out of that with a day at the park
Brainwashing propaganda to our children paid by the taxpayers! Sickening! And purely evil at its best!
I would would be super pissed if I got this letter. Like, just stick to the reading and writing, okay, you psychopaths?
Absolutely sickening how early they’re starting with the brainwashing
I used to crack jokes about pronouns being so last week, why don't we talk about our adverbs next? But I think I'm gonna keep quiet........
Thank God both of mine are done, they are jumping out of fucking planes for the Army and idk which one i like less. Im proud but our nations children dont have leaders they have criminals. ALL OF DC needs to go. Clay Higgins is about the only one left i trust even Jordan sold out. Didnt see that coming.
what top do if we misuse a pronoun? Fuck you my kids knew it was yes sir yes maam. There is nothing else to talk about you sick mfrs.
Get them outta there
Always pushing "acceptance" except for the people who disagree...they don't accept those people at all.
This is disgusting. Sure you could pull your child out, but this is what EVERYONE ELSE is being brainwashed to think. It’s also disgusting that no one is ever asking the right question. How about they start by defining what a woman or man actually is. If they ever did their entire ideology unravels.
By telling kids no one knows what man or women is, only they can decide. By telling kids, also if you like something traditionally liked by women( which we can’t define) then you’re now a woman. It’s causing an entire f’ing generation of kids to become confused when they never would have been.
Glad they offered the option to exclude your kid. At least they have some basic humanity left in them.
I'd pull the kid out of that school so fast.
Note to school. My children will use correct grammar for the English language at all times. There will be no exceptions. Your job is to teach correct grammar and not to teach nonsense.
This lady should be fired and be restricted from working with people. She needs to be running a machine somewhere. She doesn’t have any contact with humans.
Imagine ignorance is so prevalent that schools have to teach children pronouns, oh wait it is that prevalent. Stupid closed minded people are the reason this is a thing and you smooth brains are proving the point.
You opt your kid out, you’re going to be put on a list.
This isn't proper grammar. It's a fad. A fad that's not embraced by all.
I'm pretty sure Dewitt, MI leans conservative. Its in Clinton County. I think in the last election Clinton County voted 52% Republican.
Is it brainwashing if it’s not mandatory? I’m no brainwashing expert but wouldn’t I want EVERYONE to be subjected to it??
It's important to get the camel's nose under the tent.
The rest will follow soon enough.
Well, firstly it's "not mandatory" YET. But even then, your child will be exposed to the content of this course outside of the course while at school because information permeates.
2nd, there's this concept that certain topics, subjects and things should not be mentioned at all in schools for obvious reasons like because they're children. You know, if you were to have a course offered to kindergarteners on how to give a bl*wjob, but then give the option to "opt out" of it... still brainwashing because the content is such that is unsuitable and harmful for children.
There’s nothing wrong with this letter to parents especially with how it is an option if they would like to opt their kids out. The amount of people on here that doesn’t like what the school is doing baffles me especially where it’s an optional thing.
I am so glad my youngest child is almost done with school. I live in a district that has become like this and it’s maddening. They might as well teach the children to go along with the delusions associated with every mental illness. I mean, “inclusion”, right? 🤡 🤡 🤡 🏫
