"In accordance with a recently passed law in 2023, the California school system is now requiring all 7th–12th-grade teachers and certificated school employees to undergo annual LGBTQ “cultural competency” training and testing. Developed by activist organizations, the training labels those with traditional Christian beliefs about sexuality and biological sex as “homophobic” or “transphobic.” It instructs employees to protect students’ “privacy” from their own parents and to use so-called “preferred pronouns” such as they/them or ze/zem. The training concludes with a test to ensure school employees repeat the state-approved beliefs about sexual orientation and gender ideology."
FULL STORY at above link.Curriculum Themes:
•Using Preferred Pronouns:Teachers are told they must “promote safety and well-being” by using each child’s chosen pronouns.
•Heterosexism is Bigotry:The training claims that believing heterosexual relationships are “normal” is a form of discrimination called “heteronormativity.”
•Keeping Secrets from Parents:The curriculum insists that teachers cannot disclose a student’s gender identity or orientation to parents, asserting that children have “a reasonable expectation of privacy” from their families.
•Requiring Gender Affirmation:Employees are told to affirm a child’s chosen identity, including social, legal, and medical “gender affirmation,” despite global pushback against such policies and the growing number of detransitioners warning of regret.
