Parents’ Guide to Countering Woke School Indoctrination

The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com.

Public schools have become indoctrination centers.  Many parents panic at the start of the school year because their children, nurtured to have essential values, ethics, respect for others, and belief in God, will be bombarded with woke indoctrination, including transgender ideology, sexualization, Critical Race Theory, and anti-American historical revisionism.  Here is a guide to help parents deprogram children before, and throughout, the school year.

Your child may well be told without your knowledge or consent that his or her gender is fluid, changeable at will.  That indoctrination is false, against basic biology.  It is also child abuse (separating children from their birth genders through psychological manipulation).  You, of course, ordinarily know if your child is a boy or a girl.  To protect your child from being misled into believing the falsehood that genders are fluid, you need to explain the fact that genders are determined at birth and are immutable and that efforts to change them through surgery and drugs never do change gender but do cause permanent, irreparable injuries.  You need to explain that if teachers say genders are fluid, they are lying.  You need to invite your child to tell you whenever a teacher says anything about gender, so you can disabuse them of gender falsehoods.  You may well need to remove your child from public school to prevent irreparable psychological harm stemming from gender fluidity falsehoods.

Your child may well be introduced to sex prematurely again without your knowledge or consent.  Your pre-school or elementary school child may be given access to pornography, including through school libraries; be invited to watch sexually explicit school sponsored drag shows; or be invited to hear the sexual experiences of teachers or others.  That sexualization of innocent children is child abuse.  It is also a form of grooming.  It is criminal in nature.  It should be the subject of prosecution.  It is in flagrant disregard of parents' rights.  It destroys childhood innocence, attacks morals and family values, undermines the nuclear family, and is an offense against the religions of most believers.  You need to warn your child to alert you about any discussions of sex at school and to any attempts to make pornography available.  You need to take action to prevent your child from being sexually victimized, even if that means removing your child from school. This form of psychological abuse can psychologically scar your child forever.
