California schools seeking to indoctrinate children?

Schools in Oakland, California are having a spending two days (May 23 and 24) teaching chldren from Kindergarten to Fifth grade that "there are more than two genders" in a program about "Gender Spectrum diversity".

Here is the breakdown by grade:

Grades K-1: "Boy, girl or both? Which Outfit, Which Hairdo? (Reading) My Princess Boy." Grades 2-3 "What is gender? (Reading) 10,000 Dresses." Grades 4-5: "Three dimensions of gender. (Reading/Song) All I Want to be is Me."

And this is stuff many parents don't believe in and don't want their children to learn.

And anyone else think that K- 5 students are really gonna comprehend junk like:

"gender is not inherently nor solely connected to one's physical anatomy." Further, gender is a "complex interrelationship between (physical traits) and one's internal sense of self as male, female, both or neither as well as one's outward presentations and behaviors related to that perception."

And we wonder why our math and science scores are so low, because instead of spending time teaching about that we waste it teaching all this political correct garbage.

Than again wasn't it in California where a teacher took her students to a gay wedding on school time, without permission from the parents. And I bet if one of the students saw the two "spouses" kissing and laughed or called it gross, he'de be the one who gets in trouble.

Yes, it sucks so bad that these kids will be taught to be tolerant. It's two days worth of education. It's not like they're spending their entire year teaching this.

According to my state's department of licensing, there are still only two choices. You check either M or F; there's no third option.

Oh and if you force someone to attend a ceremony they don't believe in (such as a gay wedding) you shouldn't be surprised if they're comments about it aren't too flattering.

You're taking the actions of one teacher and making it sound like every teacher in the state did it.

I don't believe kids are supposed to learn social facts in school, their supposed to learn reading, writing, arithmetic ect ect. Social facts should come from life experiences, and not from the cl@$$ room IMO.

This is outrageous; next thing you know they'll be indoctrinating children to believe that the Earth is a sphere and that it orbits the sun. :(

Seems like a waste of time considering how badly our schools already fair on the world stage.

Well, technically, the difference is that gender is a linguistic attribute, while sex is a physical attribute. :P

No, there are two genders. Gender is the behavioral, cultural, or psychological traits typically associated with one sex. There is a feminine gender, and a masculine gender. There is a female sex and a male sex. There is no in between or mix.

correct, just because a male has feminine qualities and/or is gay or a female has masculine qualities and/or is a lesbian does not change there gender.

why does it matter anyways? this just seems like a waste of the schools time ftr, I'm all for teaching kids life lessons and common courtesy but this just seems like a waste of time that could be spent on teaching them more important things such as reading writing and math(especially for the K-1st grade one)

Honestly I think that's the parents job to do that. Government can't take the wheel on things such as that because it falls under freedom of speech. Besides kinder-gardeners have little to no malice to each other based of skin color or sexuality (assuming they can even grasp those concepts). Putting them in the same environment, ie school is really the best way for them to learn to accept each other.

Thank the Lord almighty that I'm graduating next year and that my nieces and nephews do not live in Oakland. bbkkristian

Theokhoth, I feel like you're too biased, which leads to your rants. You really need to realize that not everyone supportsyour ideas.
