New polling shows national Republicans and Iowa Republican caucusgoers were more interested in “law and order” than battling “woke” schools, media and corporations.

        what about the parents that want their kids to learn the facts so that they have some empathy for their peers that are lgbtq+ or learn that they are ok being lgbtq+?

          Then ya know…the parents should teach their kids that. It’s not schools responsibility to push social ideologies, it’s their jobs to help kids learn basic studies like math and reading.

            kids are gonna learn these things regardless, especially these days. its best to help them rather than hinder them. the ones that are lgbtq+ need to know they are fine and its ok for them to be who they are.

              kids are gonna learn these things regardless,

              Why? Why not let kids learn about society by…ya know, being part of society. Over representing these issues in schools despite parents wanting schools to focus on education that helps the students future is just the government pushing their own values. That’s what we don’t want, the government just taking our kids and pushing their morals, that’s literally what indian boarding schools were about.

              its best to help them rather than hinder them.

              How is telling kindergartners that they should cross dress helpful to our society?

              the ones that are lgbtq+ need to know they are fine

              Okay, so on day 1 teachers can say ‘hey if you aren’t straight or question gender, you’re fine’ then you’d be okay with it if the teachers never talked about sexuality and gender for the rest of the year?

              its ok for them to be who they are.

              Why shouldn’t the teachers be telling young christian boys it’s okay for them to be who they are?

        Please name a public school that is “pushing gender identity and sexuality” on its elementary students. I would like to see evidence of this pushing.

            Okay, how is that pushing anything? Where’s the pushing? I asked for pushing, you give me “this is something that is possible.”

              Would you be saying the same thing if the k-5 education was about how much healthier and better off straight people are? Do you think teachers should spend health class saying how kids who think they’re gay should be straight instead?

                Does it literally say that trans people are healthier and better off than cis people? Please tell me which video and give me a timestamp. I’m not watching all of them just to find out that wasn’t true.

            So, I’ve only seen the kindergarten video so far. They define the words acceptance, compassion, gender, gender role, and unique. A kid came out as trans girl. A direct quote is: “I don’t care if you’re a boy Teddy or girl Teddy. What matters is that you’re my friend.”

            I fail to see how this pushes children to be trans.

              See, right there! At first it’s 'no it’s not happening anywhere!! then once we show you it is happening you say ‘okay it’s happening, but what’s wrong with teaching kindergartners how to crossdress??’

              Why teach kindergartners that cross dressing is fun, instead of, ya know, teaching kids useful stuff?

              Our education system spends more per full time student than any other country in the world, but our test scores are shitty.

              Do you think maybe there’s be less push back about teachers trying to parent our kids, if the teachers actually showed they can teach our kids reasonably?

                They’re disagreeing that what you posted counts as pushing rather than just informing; that’s not moving the goalposts, just disgareement.

                  And my argument is why any at all? If they want to be gay, idc. Why do teachers need to teach them to be gay?
