Davis Joint Unified School District in Davis, California, pushed leftwing distortions of gender and critical race theory through its Office of School Climate, which taught staff that “gender is a scam” and advertises the White Privilege Conference on March 9-12, 2022.
The office is “responsible for supporting district staff, and recommending and piloting ways to address structural oppression and to enhance school climate, equity, diversity, and inclusion,” according to their website.
The district, which includes approximately 8,500 TK-12 students throughout 16 different schools, also recently voted to adopt an Ethnic Studies requirement, which a press release notes will “explore issues of identity, analyze systems of power” and “examine social movements.”
The district’s site features a number of different resources that pushed radical leftwing distortions of gender. One presentation called “Supporting LGBTQ+ Students and Staff” was given to staff members at Harper Junior High School in May 2021 by two of the school’s teachers, both of whom use “they/them” pronouns. One also uses the abbreviation “Mx.” in lieu of Mr., Ms., or Mrs.
One slide bore a pride flag with transgender colors and black and brown stripes, both of which “sought to further represent the queer and trans identities of black and brown people.” Another one linked to a video titled “Gender is a Scam,” which compels audiences to “decolonize their language,” while a linked article called “15 Things LGBTQ people of colour want you to know” tells you “why you might be guilty of white fragility.”
The slideshow instructed staff to use the pronouns they/them until someone says his pronouns and told them that “Posters/flags that support LGBTQ+ people are just the beginning” before going on to ask “does your curriculum center primarily white/cis/straight voices?” The same slide warns against using medical and scientifically accurate terminology in regards to gender….
The above comes from a Jan. 19 story in The Federalist.com.
They take some getting used to and then they become second nature.
They, they, them, singular, plural, can’t read or write anyway. Why not refer to myself/ourself with the royal “we?” I have an unlimited number of genders, so why can’t I be plural? There are several of us living in me. And, They, don’t be so binary. This stuff never becomes “second nature.” It becomes third nature and onto an unlimited number of natures. Besides, natures have to do with philosophy, Western civilization, dead White men, metafeces and all that stuff. In Davis and Catholic schools, like Archbishop Mitty High in San Jose, we woke to the important stuff like fluidity and recognizing our privilege.
Only to the compliant sheep
How, pray tell, is this article related to Catholicism?
Further, why glorify such insanity by its publication? These “educators” do nothing but intellectually abuse their students, who need to be learning real substance so they can successfully compete, as well as adding value to society. California needs to follow Virginia, where new Governor Youngkin is having none of this kind of foolishness.
None of this “gender ideology” is real.
This may be the “bridge too far.” Or am I just exposing my white fagility? Not much of the article included good pedagogy, did it?
This is a great example of how far down the road we really are. Yes, it belongs on the Catholic site because it’s probably going on in public schools were there may be Catholic kids.
Some Catholics seem to forget that the majority of Catholic children attend public schools. Thanks for the public reminder.
This is just ridiculous
Might as well be the flag of the evil kingdom.
