Here are the top education issues state lawmakers battled over this year

An interesting article we came across and offer for your consideration. It was published at The Hill by Lexi Lonas Democrats and Republicans went head-to-head on education policy in state legislatures this year, with each side pulling out both wins and losses as many statehouses close their legislative sessions. The heart of much of the fighting lay in culture war issues led by Republicans, from how lessons about race and gender should be taught to what type of books students should be allowed to read. Here were the top education issues state lawmakers grappled with this year: School choice The new measure that was most successful for school choice this legislative … [Read more...]

Do pronouns have a place in school?

We have heard about the use of pronouns for the last several years. Some people include their pronouns in their email footers. Today we want to explore pronouns and examine whether they have a place in K-12 education. Pronouns are often referred to as "gender" pronouns and appear to be attempt to be gender neutral or add specific examples of how a person wants to be referred to and addressed. This of course requires that the person choosing and using the pronouns understand the meaning of and agree on the interpretation of the designations. It appears that in the past 5-10 years there has been an uptick on use by certain segments of the population. It's fair to say that those supporting … [Read more...]

WA School Gave First Graders Worksheet Listing Identities of “Both” or “Neither” Genders

Todays story comes from our own backyard...Washington State. Whether you agree with discussing or promoting gender identity in children is it more of a question of when or if? We hope you find this article from Elizabeth Johnstons Blog interesting. A school in Washington state is under fire after children were reportedly given a worksheet which listed some gender identities as “both” or “neither” gender. According to a social media post from a parent, students at Edmonds School District (ESD) were given access to a flowchart activity which broke down gender in more than non-binary terms, with corresponding potential pronouns. “My sons first grade assignment from yesterday. … [Read more...]

Teaching K-3 Children About Sexual Orientation, Transgender Issues

Today we bring you an article that contains the results of a poll of parents regarding teaching K-3 children about sexual orientation and gender issues. The article comes to us from The Daily Wire written by Ben Johnson. The majority of Americans support a ban on teaching young children about sexual orientation and transgender issues in public schools, a new poll has found. The latest survey shows broad support for a new Florida law, which became a culture war flashpoint pitting Republicans and family groups against major corporations and celebrities. Disney joined the public opposition to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signing the “Parental Rights in Education Bill,” which says a … [Read more...]

Society for Evidence Based Gender Medicine

At the risk of stepping outside our normal K-12 education focus we bring you information about a group of medical personnel (from around the world) that are focused on the importance of "evidence" in dealing with gender based medical actions. The group we introduce today can be found at: Home | SEGM  Why are we covering this? Because "gender" has been introduced into the equation by the WA State Superintendent Chris Reykdal and the WA State Legislature. They are trying to strip parents of their rights. We want you to have information that may be useful. And, the actions associated with forced gender reassignment impact education of not just those children directly impacted but by other … [Read more...]

Comprehensive Sexual Health Education – OSPI’s Pitch

The Office of the Superintendent of Public Schools (OSPI) is held by Chris Reykdal. One of his goals is to institute a Comprehensive Sexual Education (CSE) program starting in kindergarten through high school. What does do they mean by CSE? What does it include? What are the specific examples of curriculum? Good questions all...but unanswerable because...they haven't figured out all the details yet. OSPI has recommended certain support materials for local districts to use including: 3R's and FLASH. They say the materials will be "age appropriate" but can't give examples yet. They have asked the legislature to "mandate" the CSE so that every district MUST follow their guidelines and only use … [Read more...]

Comprehensive Sex Ed (CSE) in Washington State – drawing a line in the sand

On Monday evening, October 28, 2019, the Battle Ground School Board held a regularly scheduled meeting at which the 2nd reading of the proposed CSE was being voted on. The Battle Ground School District/Board requires that before any new or changes to curriculum occur that two "readings" need to be done. During the 1st reading the details are provided and questions asked. The public can comment during "citizen communications" sessions. If the Board Directors majority votes Yes the 2nd reading is held at the next scheduled meeting. If the Board majority votes Yes at the 2nd reading the curriculum is adopted. On October 14th, following citizen comments and the 1st reading of the CSE the … [Read more...]
