SCOOP: A left-wing NGO has laundered radical gender theory into more than 4,000 American schools, promoting an agenda of "anti-capitalism," the "abolition of the police," and encouraging children to adopt sexual identities such as "non-binary," "pansexual," and "genderqueer."
🧵
The GSA Network is an umbrella organization for thousands of “Genders & Sexualities Alliances” (GSAs), which operate in elementary, middle, and high schools in 40 states. The organization has a multimillion-dollar budget and its activism is subsidized by many public schools.
In a political manifesto, the GSA Network endorses calls for the “abolition of the police,” the “abolition of borders,” the payment of “reparations” to minorities, the “decolonization” of native lands, and the overthrow of the “cisgender heterosexual patriarchy.”
The GSA Network trains adults to use cult-like programming techniques to recruit children into “gender and sexuality” activism. First, the children must rank themselves as members of “groups w/ systemic power (privilege)” or “groups w/ less or no systemic power (oppressed).”
Next, the oppressor children must “[do] the self and collective work to analyze how we contribute to the oppression of Trans, Queer, Non-binary / Gender Non-Conforming, Black, Indigenous, youth of color” and “commit to dismantling these systems for collective liberation.”
The adults tell the children they must “implement the use of pronouns,” “offer a land acknowledgment,” “listen to the Trans community,” “center conversations around Black liberation,” and “use your privilege (and your physical and monetary resources) to support [the oppressed].”
The organization is also explicitly anti-capitalist: its literature is littered with references to “anti-capitalism” and, during one board meeting, its leaders fantasized about what life would be like “after capitalism falls.”
The GSA Network trains adult and child leaders to keep the program a secret from parents. “Know the laws in your state around students’ privacy rights and what you do and don’t have to tell parents/ guardians/families,” the organization advises in its official handbook.
These clubs often use the language of “LGBTQ inclusion,” but the central organization is driven by pure left-wing radicalism. As @SwipeWright/@buttonslives have documented, many clubs are intentionally concealing the truth from parents.

School districts that encourage adult employees to secretly discuss sexuality with children are creating a dangerous system. Clinical psychologists are already warning that some of these practices resemble “the steps predators take” to abuse kids.

SCOOP: San Diego Unified School District claims that heterosexuality is “a system of oppression,” promotes the idea that girls can have penises, and encourages children to adopt synthetic sexual identities such as “pansexual,” “genderqueer,” and “two-spirit.”

Here's the story.🧵
The district has gone all-in on radical gender theory. The teacher training program mimics the narrative of the academic literature: white Europeans created a false “gender binary”—“man” and “woman”—that “oppresses trans, nonbinary, intersex, and gender-nonconforming people.” ImageImageImageImage
According to the district, the gender binary has resulted in a system of “heteronormativity” that distributes “heterosexual and cisgender privilege”—the sexual analog of “white privilege”—that “results in institutional power” for straight white men. ImageImageImage

The critical race theory activists spent a year promoting the lie that "CRT isn't in schools," but according to their recent conference, CRT is absolutely in schools and they want to expand it.

They aren't "teaching truth to power"—they rejected the concept of truth years ago. ImageImageImageImage
The irony is amazing: these are professors at Ivy League and flagship public universities—some of the most privileged people on the planet—who masquerade as avatars of the oppressed in order to play status games and drive philanthropic funding to their ideological crusades.
These people are total phonies: they aren't "teaching truth to power"—they *are* the power. Critical race theory is the dominant ideology in the universities, K-12 school bureaucracies, DEI initiatives, and corporate human resources departments.

I'm hoping conservatives can unite behind the phrase "radical gender theory" as the catch-all for queer theory, trans ideology, neo-pronouns, and gender identity activism that has captured America's public institutions. It's accurate, powerful, and persuasive language.
"Gender ideology" is good, but works better in European and Latin American contexts. "Queer Theory" is the academic term, but normie parents will be hesitant to use the word. "Radical gender theory" is accurate, flexible, and builds on the connotation of "critical race theory."
The Left's linguistic defense on CRT was to say "CRT is only in law schools" and "that's not explicitly labeled CRT." "Radical gender theory" will neutralize both those defenses: we're imposing the label on a set of concepts and ideologies; debating the specifics is a win for us.

We're building the narrative that public schools are translating the principles of academic Queer Theory into the K-12 curriculum. Our Portland story generated 25+ million media impressions this week—and we're going to drop another story every Wednesday through September. Image
Here's how it works: establish the facts through original source document reporting; explain to parents that these "gender identity" lessons are derived from academic Queer Theory; run a series of 8-10 stories to establish that this is part of a broader pattern in education.
The fact is that all of the country's largest school districts have adopted curricula and policies promoting gender ideology and synthetic sexual identities such as "nonbinary," "genderfluid," and "pansexual." Our job is to find the evidence and bring it to public attention.

SCOOP: Portland Public Schools is now teaching elementary school students to subvert the sexuality of “white colonizers,” acknowledge that girls can have penises, and begin experimenting with “ze/zir” pronouns and exploring “the infinite gender spectrum.”

Here's the story. 🧵
The new curriculum translates the principles of academic queer theory into K-12 pedagogy. The premise is simple: privileged heterosexual “white colonizers” have created an oppressive “gender binary” in order to exploit racial and sexual minorities.
Beginning in kindergarten, teaches give anatomy lessons with graphic drawings of children’s genitalia. The lessons refer to “person with a penis” and “person with a vulva,” because some girls have penises and some boys have vulvas. “Any gender and kid can have any type of body.”

BREAKING: University of California San Diego is hosting racially-segregated college welcome programs for the families of first-year students, explicitly prohibiting white families from participating.
It appears that Asian families are also prohibited from attending, as many universities consider Asians "white adjacent," "privileged," and "over-represented."
All of this kind of programming is a violation of the Civil Rights Act, but left-wing bureaucrats do not enforce race and sex discrimination as long as it is performed against supposedly "dominant" groups, such as whites, Asians, and heterosexual men.
