NEW: The Michigan Department of Education instructed public school teachers how to facilitate child sexual transitions and recommended that teachers keep a child's "chosen name and pronouns" a secret from parents, even if the child is suicidal.

It's all on video. 🧵
The training program follows the basic narrative of radical gender theory: the presenters claim the West has created a false notion that “gender is binary” in order to oppress racial and sexual minorities. In response, teachers should work to “dismantle systems of oppression.”
Trainer Amorie Robinson, who says she is a “Black, masculine-identified, cisgendered lesbian” and uses the “African name” Kofi Adoma, says that gender is an infinite spectrum, including identities such as “genderfluid,” “genderqueer,” “butch,” “stud,” and “questioning.”
Next, Michigan Department of Education employee Kim Philips-Knope share a series of TikTok videos featuring minors and young adults exploring their sexual identity. One person identifies as "agender" and uses "she/her/they/them/he/him" pronouns.
In another video, the Michigan Department of Education promotes an individual who is “struggling with gender issues” and has started using breast binders and “they/them” pronouns. “I have never been happier with how my body looks.”
When a teacher asks how to respond to a student who claims to have “she/he/they/them” pronouns, the trainer responds adamantly: “Go with what the kid says. They’re the best experts on their lives. They’re the best experts on their own identities and their own bodies.”
Finally, the Michigan Department of Education instructs teachers how to facilitate child sexual transitions and recommends that they keep a child's “chosen name and pronouns” a secret from parents, even if the child is suicidal.

UPDATE: I spoke with Boston Police Department about the bomb threat at Boston Children's Hospital. A spokesman told me "the threat itself did not get reported to police. It came secondhand." But he refused to say who alerted BPD, telling me it was part of the investigation file.
I have submitted a public records request asking for a transcript of the communication alerting Boston Police Department about the bomb threat. The Washington Post jumped to conclusions without substantiating the facts. The public has a right to know what happened.
It's entirely possible that the official narrative is correct. But we need answers to a few questions: Who alerted BPD about the bomb threat? How did they communicate this info? And where is the evidence to substantiate claims of threats and harassment against Boston Children's?

Uju Anya is a critical race theorist at Carnegie Mellon University.
She believes that "white women consistently vote to protect white supremacy" and that white mothers of biracial children have "Mandingo bbc fantasies of Black men" and regularly call their own children the n-word.
And yes, this woman helps design school curricula and DEI programs.

I've worked with @wokal_distance and @amrenewctr to create "A Parent's Guide to Radical Gender Theory." It has everything you need—definitions, concepts, quotations, stories, language—to fight radical gender theory in your community.

Read here:

We start with the simple definitions.
Next, we define the key concepts of radical gender theory and provide references for further reading. It begins with "the social construction of sex and gender" and ends with "opposition to restrictions on child pornography and adult-child sexual relationships."

The City of Boise is hosting a festival featuring child drag queens as young as 11 years old. Sponsored by Citibank, Wells Fargo, Target, and Hewlett-Packard.
And yes, drag shows involving children are explicitly designed to re-engineer child sexuality. As the academic queer theorists have explained, these performances are "site[s] of queer pleasure" used to liberate children from "the rhetoric of childhood innocence."
Parents should follow their intuition: it's a huge red flag for adults to have young boys dress up as women and dance for tips.

Lurie Children's Hospital is promoting "kink," "BDSM," and "trans-friendly [sex] toys" for children in at least four Chicago-area school districts. But the regime functionaries at Axios never mention it and deflect to an unsubstantiated "threat" narrative. Propaganda by omission. ImageImage
If Lurie Children's Hospital, Chicago-area public school districts, and left-wing media believe in "gender-affirming care" and "trans-friendly [sex] toys" for children, they should defend it publicly. They are multibillion-dollar institutions, not helpless victims.
I'd like to see the evidence of "harassment" against Lurie Children's Hospital. Did someone send a mean tweet? Send a critical email? Call the switchboard? The burden of proof is on media: if the claim is "harassment," we need specific, hard evidence to substantiate it.

Follow the money: Billionaire trans activist Jennifer Pritzker and her family have donated more than $20 million to Lurie Children's Hospital, including direct funding for "gender and sex development" experiments. It's how medicine gets weaponized into political activism.
Lurie Children's Hospital now funds a team of full-time radical gender theory activists who have created a "school-to-gender-clinic pipeline" from Chicago-area public schools into the hospital for puberty blockers, hormone treatments, and other "gender-affirming" procedures.
Here's the full story, including shocking details about the hospital promoting “kink,” “BDSM,” and “trans-friendly [sex] toys” for children.
