SCOOP: Los Angeles Unified School District encourages kindergartners to experiment with non-binary pronouns, trains teachers to subvert “mainstream white cis-heteropatriarchy society,” and promotes sexual identities such as “trans,” “pansexual,” “two-spirit,” and “genderqueer.”🧵
I have obtained a trove of documents from the district’s Human Relations, Diversity, and Equity department, which has created an entire infrastructure to translate the basic tenets of academic Queer Theory into K-12 pedagogy.
The narrative follows the standard academic slop: white, cisgender, heterosexual men have built a repressive social structure, divided the world into the false binary of man and woman, and used this myth to oppress racial and sexual minorities.
In a conference last fall, the district hosted presentations on “breaking the [gender] binary,” understanding “what your queer middle schooler wants you to know,” and producing “counter narratives against the master narrative of mainstream white cis-heteropatriarchy society.”
In another training, the district encouraged teachers to “avoid gendered expressions” such as “boys and girls” and “ladies and gentlemen.” The district also warned teachers that they might need to work against black families, who are guilty of “homophobia and transphobia.”
Los Angeles Unified has gone all-in on “trans-affirming” programming, encouraging kindergartners to experiment with non-binary gender identities and organizing “trans & gender nonbinary” sexuality clubs for middle school students.
The district has adopted the policy that schools must use the "names and pronouns" selected by the student and keep them a secret from families. In other words, teachers can facilitate a child's gender and sexual transition without notifying parents.

The Washington Post has informed me that the leading researcher on child sex abuse in public schools is "distraught" by the discourse about "grooming."

That's surprising, because the same researcher wrote a paper last year about "red flag grooming behaviors" by teachers.
The skeleton key to left-wing politics is this: "There are no bad ideas, only bad people." That is, concepts are not judged by their merits; they are judged by who uses them. So academics can talk about "grooming" for decades, but it becomes a "slur" once conservatives use it.
This is all forbidden now.

@EsotericCD It's based on a simple truth: the weaker party in a given knowledge-regime loses nothing by exposing the metalinguistic game. By shifting the debate to mechanics, we simultaneously undermine the authority of that knowledge-regime and create a more open and dynamic playing field.
@EsotericCD Conservatives are operating with some severe disadvantages: we do not have the power to set the general linguistic frame, our media outlets have limited prestige, and our opponents control the institutions that have authority over culture.
@EsotericCD So we have to fight at two levels: we need to win on the issue directly, but we also need to start shifting the deeper structures. This means subverting the existing language, creating our own frames, building our own aesthetic, and contesting institutional power.

Translation: the false accusations of "racist" and "white supremacist" have lost their rhetorical power, so we are switching to "authoritarian" and "threat to democracy."
Voters will see right through it. They watched blue states shut down society, mandate medical procedures, and force kids out of school for two years, while DeSantis followed the science and the Constitution to keep his state open—and had a lower COVID death rate than New York.
Meanwhile, there is a political faction that wants to eliminate the filibuster, pack the court, abolish the Electoral College, and nationalize election laws in order to secure its own political power. Much more "authoritarian" than anything happening in Florida.

Let's be honest about it: this is a trans stripper performing for children.
This isn't a British pantomime. This isn't Mrs. Doubtfire. This isn't about reading. It's an adult male transvestite doing a grotesque sexual performance for young children.
Their "Drag Brunch" has a special menu for children under 12.

Gov. @DougDucey is poised to sign the first universal school choice legislation in the nation, which will give every family in Arizona $7,000 per child to attend any school of their choice.

Every red state in the country should follow his lead.
The legislation gives every family a right to exit any public school that fails to educate their children or reflect their values. Parents can apply the $7,000 "empowerment scholarships" to any private, religious, or homeschool program of their choice. We need this everywhere.
The homeschooling provision is very pro-family: parents can apply the money to teaching materials and private tutors, which will ease the financial burden for families with a stay-at-home parent and allow them to tailor their homeschool program to their specific needs.
