SCOOP: Sacramento City Unified has laundered radical gender theory into K-12, promoting the idea that heterosexuality is oppressive, encouraging teachers to “normalize” child sexual transitions, and glamorizing identities such as “polyamorous,” “genderf*ck,” and “kink/BDSM.” 🧵
Sacramento Unified has been working on this for a decade. In 2012, the district invited academic queer theorist Elizabeth Meyer to conduct a leadership presentation on how to launder “queer pedagogy” into the K-12 system and create “sexual diversity.”
It’s the standard academic slop: Western society has created a “Heterosexual Matrix,” composed of “Hegemonic Masculinity,” “Emphasized Femininity,” “Heteronormativity,” and “Heterosexism,” that underpins an oppressive system of “patriarchy,” “homophobia,” and “transphobia.”
The presentation recommended separate rules for straight and gay teachers: heterosexual teachers were told to keep their sexuality a secret from students, while LGBT teachers were told to “consider coming out to your employer, and if you get their support, your students/school.”
Another document tells non-trans school employees to confront their “cisgender privilege” and adopt a “transgender ally” identity. “Does the state of your genitals cause you to fear violence should they be discovered?” asked the questionnaire.
In recent years, the district has gone all-in on child sexual transitions. One training document instructs school staff to “normalize gender exploration” and affirm student transitions, which may lead to “hormones and/or surgery as validation of their emerging identity.”
Another resource on the Sacramento Unified district website glamorizes a wide range of sexual identities, including “polyamorous,” “genderf*ck,” “gray-sexual,” “drag queens,” “polygender,” “gender variant,” and “kink/BDSM.”
The district’s default policy is that teachers who facilitate a child’s sexual transition must keep it a secret from families. “School personnel should not discuss information that may disclose a student’s transgender or gender non-conforming status to others, including parents.”
