Push Back Against The Anti-Parent Agenda In Schools

Video Transcript:

Being an LGBT or even just gay or simply being gay is a great thing. That's a good one. Told us that around our age and sometimes before we're in middle school and sometimes after we're in middle school, the main strict question are identity and we like to start questioning if we are a guy or a girl in like what we want to be. After I talked to Pearl about it, I found out that they were encouraging them to question their identity. They repeated to the kids three times as anyone in the room ever questioned their identity and nobody raised their hand. Again, no really, it's okay, go ahead and raise your hand and when no one did the third time, you said, well I'm sure some of you have felt like that and it's okay that you don't want to raise your hand right now. Like I thought it was really a push, like I thought we were kind of pushing it in gender. My suggestion to parents is that if your kids are in a class where they talk about diversity, equity, inclusivity, gender, white privilege, your kids should be encouraged to leave the class because they're not being educated, they're being indoctrinated. Now that doesn't mean that there can't be an intelligent discussion about any one of those topics but when they come together in a group, then that's a pretty good marker that you're in the vicinity of a radical leftist, neo-Marxist ideology and there's no excuse for that being foisted on your children. You can download this button sheet to support L-E-D-T rights. You can make your own rainbow design by wearing the buttons. You'll be showing that your school is the same place and get to work. Jesus, those are dismal options. You may have to have a serious chat with your school, with your kids' teachers, with the principal. You may have to learn how to formulate your arguments against the practice. If you resent it, what are you going to do? You're going to put up with it? You're going to get angry and take it out on someone else. You're going to do something stupid because you're resentful. Those are not likely, right? Are you going to swallow it and get weak? Good evening. My name is Ryan McKeein. I'm coming here on behalf of my child that I had a role in and I wanted to call him he's in the TK program. I've since dis enrolled him because of some concern, because it was material that was red and ham. That I feel was not age-appropriate. I feel like she stepped outside of her teaching guidelines. I volunteered in 9-11 for my child. I am a veteran. I am a fireman. It's a very special day to me. I want to go spend that with my son. It's supposed to be a very patriotic day. I thought, you know, it was a TK. I gave him a little pleasure with agents or maybe do some arts and crafts on the flag. That never happened. What didn't happen was a teacher read a book called a family book about their taught part. He's a controversial author. He's had issues near an area in Illinois where he's been banned. Wikipedia could describe this book for what it is. Barnes and Noble have this in the family in the parenting section. It's not in the kids' section. So why is it being read to kids at 4 years old age? I feel it's not age-appropriate. In within her district, you're 12 elementary schools. Only two carry this book. One is at one colony and one is teravista. Why? Because it's part of curriculum. How come it's not all the schools? It's all the children. Except for my kid. I feel like this is not age-appropriate. And within the TK course curriculum, common course standards is such social interaction and culture diversity. But only to the extent of cultural, ethnic and racial identity, including traditions, practice and language. That does not include families, diverse or otherwise. I feel they overstepped the lines. And the reason why the book is controversial is because of an agent here that has two mommies and two daddies. A song appeared, we'll probably try to tell you that. That has to do with adopted families or whatnot. That's describing this book in the text. They might say it's because of step parents or step daddies. That's describing the text. But what is not describing the text is a traditional family. So my son, based on the inclusion and acceptance within his core curriculum, he's not including that. It's not inclusion towards him. I feel this is started by the book. As far as the response that I had in the class, I was taken back. I tried to sell this on a low level of me and the teacher directly by email. So when I emailed her that, I didn't agree with what was taught. There's no pledge of legion. There's nothing to do with the patriotism of the country. That's fine. But I sell the fin to buy this book. And I want to be notified in the future if she was to read this type of material. Her response is 911 is to touch the subject. And I feel parents should delve on those situations in their own time. However, regarding this book, it's about inclusion, acceptance in her class within curriculum. One thing she wants to be the parent on another aspect she doesn't. So she needs to leave that as a parent to decide when these issues about it to my child. I don't agree with it. Totally against it. I have signed the paperwork to Mr. Jutsson to have that book removed from the libraries. I respectfully ask you guys to please look at the material and use an open mind when you guys look at it. Please take it for what it is. There's plenty of other books that were those books. You can do whoever you are. Everyone matters. Friendship. There's plenty of other books that aren't surrounding controversy. So why have material and literature in a library that's going to irritate the parents? I really respect you guys having open form and dialogue with the families and hearing us speak. So thank you, God bless. I mean, first of all, you might want to find out if all your resentment is justified. You can talk to someone that you admire and see if you're just flying off the handle because maybe you are. But if you're not, well, if something is happening that you really don't like, that's the sign that you have to do something about it because your being is rebelling against that constraint. Last, my husband's book. I thought when he came home and told me what happened, I thought to myself, if I were another parent, I feel so grateful to have heard that he volunteered and we knew that I felt for all the other parents who have no idea what's going on in those classes. And my idea was we need to get on somewhere. We need to let these parents know when they get to decipher themselves, whether they're forward or against it, it doesn't matter. But I felt like they needed to know and be aware of what was going on. So we actually got on the next day. We wrote our little comment. We took off her name because they, whatever. And we've been attacked nonstop for this. And it made me laugh and sound said my husband's been a bully because they have attacked our faith. They have attacked his career. They have attacked my child and my family. And I'm a little thinking right now because that's personal to me. And this topic is personal to me. And I think of all, not just the homosexuality that's addressed in this book, but the doctor and the family. But if their child doesn't know they're adopted, then that topic comes up. And now the parents have to face and tell their children about something that they're maybe not ready for. So I just, I pray that you as a board, re-evaluate this book that it's so controversial why not get rid of the book, why read it over and over again. It's hurting our children and hurting our families. I just want to reiterate this that the Common Core standards includes social interaction, culture diversity, but only to the extent of cultural, ethnic and racial identity, including traditions, practice and language. That does not include families, diverse or otherwise. So pretty much we're poking our heads into somewhere that does not need to be poked our heads into. I don't know how about I say it, but thank you so much for your time. I pray that you guys honor our opinions. Thank you. Thank you. You have to get more educated. You have to get more articulate. You have to get more politically oriented, politically savvy, politically involved. You have to talk to people and make a coalition. You have to face down your children's teacher. You have to come up with a plan for what happens if when you face them down, nothing changes. You have to lay out a strategy of ideational war or you have to live with your resentment and risk having your children disempowered by the narrative of victimhood. That seems like a really bad outcome. If they see you resisting it actively, then you are right then and there acting out than the contrary narrative. So if you don't believe that they should be described as disempowered, then you should act in a manner that indicates that your convictions have far more potency than you might believe.
