Epoch Times: Naveen Athrappully said:
The tool classifies the LGBTQ inclusivity continuum of schools into three groups: “Mostly A’s” who are seen as highly inclusive; “Mostly B’s” who are moderately inclusive; and minimally inclusive “Mostly C’s.”

Epoch Times: Naveen Athrappully said:
A person who believes that gender, sexual orientation, and gender identity is unique and can be “experienced on a continuum” is given an A rating according to the tool, with those who do not agree with such a statement given a C.

Individuals who use inclusive terminology are seen as an A, with those who rarely use such terminology classified as a C.

Epoch Times: Naveen Athrappully said:
School administrators who ensure that, (a) events like pep rallies and proms include same-gender and gender non-conforming couples, (b) bathrooms and lockers can be used by any student per their chosen gender, (c) athletics programs have mixed gender participation, and (d) students have access to age-appropriate LGBTQ specific online materials, resources, and information, are given an A rating.

RIP American public schools. These policies are hurting and victimizing children and making their lives much worse.

Supporters of LGBTQQIP2SAA+ have been claiming for years that they're not coming for our kids, but it's blatantly clear that's exactly what's happening. And indoctrinating young children into it is obviously going to start being mandated in schools soon.

Here's what the instrument looks like: https://www.cdc.gov/healthyyouth/disparities/mai/pdf/LGBTQ_Inclusivity-508.pdf

The document includes this description of what the document is for:

School and district staff who are interested in facilitating a more inclusive environment for LGBTQ students can use this tool to assess individual-level knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors that foster inclusivity, in addition to determining strengths and weaknesses in current school-level inclusive policies, programs, and practices.

So, if you're a teacher or administrator at a school that's trying to provide a more supportive environment for your LGBTQ students, but you don't quite know what steps to take or what you might be doing that makes life more difficult for your LGBTQ students, this questionnaire can be a useful tool.

If you're a teacher or administrator at a school that does not have this as one of its goals, you can ignore the questionnaire.

Thanks, PloverWing! I'll take a look at it ... :cool:

The obvious objective of socialists is to destroy America’s morals,
traditions, institutions and laws, and to conquer it with socialist
ideology, policies and enforcement.

Zero Republican professors found across 33 departments
at seven universities: College Fix analysis

-

Heterodox lamenting the “atmosphere of ideological control, omnipresence of
ideology, policing of speech and thought, suppression of dissent, compelled
speech, fear and self-censorship” in American universities.

The Communist ideology being introduced to America has spread throughout the university
system and is beginning to dominate high schools and even elementary schools.

For now...:p

But there's nothing in that document stopping teachers and administrators from punishing C students or issuing discipline violations to them for their beliefs. I've spent 10 years in that system. There is very little appeal if you don't comply with the rules. You are basically a victim.

@Semper-Fi Yep. The Democrats fund the teachers' unions which pay the teachers, which means that they are all Democrat-leaning. It's the same way that all military personnel and defense contractor employees are all Republican. The political party pays their bills, so it's either vote for the correct party or starve and suffer. This is true of almost all jobs that have government funding behind them.

My mother was a teacher some years ago. She had it rough. They have steep demands of their teachers that are literally impossible to keep them all, and most of the teachers just don't even try to accomplish them all like my mother did because she is a person of integrity. What's more, she had to quit her next job because they wanted to force her to use her pronouns. When she didn't use them, people started being very nasty to her and accused her of all sorts of things in the most passive-aggressive way you can imagine. It was a vicious bunch, but she still had a few friends from that job. She now works retail, and that's a shame as she is highly educated with a master's in education.

Is getting a job in a Christian school an option for her?

She tried doing that at one point. A Catholic school, if I am not mistaken. Don't know what happened there, but I don't think she got/took the job. I think they waited too long to get back to her, and she already had a job by then.

I'll offer this limited agreement: Those of us in higher education who are working to promote a diverse and inclusive environment have to make sure that "inclusiveness" includes our conservative students in addition to our students from other minority groups. So, for example, it's important to me that my female students are welcome and respected, but I also somehow have to accommodate my students who feel that women shouldn't be computer scientists. (I'm a CS professor.) It's important to me that my transgender students are welcome and respected, but I also have to accommodate my students who feel that everyone's gender identity should conform to their biological sex.

Inclusiveness is not a simple thing, especially when there are people in the community who are opposed to each other's presence in the community. We make a mistake when we oversimplify the task of forming an inclusive community.

So it is a choice of the school district whether or not they want to use the tool and how far they want to take it.

I never trust the Epoch Times. It is wise to look at the school district's curriculum before signing your child in, and check with them about what the focus is. Most school districts are concerned with teaching math and reading and subjects like that.

Those are some good points for us to consider. And likewise, I've found the same outlook at the university I was at for study in its Social Science program. It was mostly Liberal and there were a few professors who were outright Communists, and they unapologetically said so. They also unapologetically said some other things as well. Things I thought were a bit on the ignorant side. Yet, there were a few others, too, who merely assented to certain social theorists and liked to inject or use the better aspects (what few there are) of Marxian concepts in order to 'bolster' their points.

So, yeah. We need to be cautious in how we evaluate this CDC "subjective and voluntary" program................................................it might have a few Trojan style surprises in it. I for one don't like those kinds of surprises.

Besides, there is a difference between a "Lenin and/or Che Guevara," a "Michel Foucault," and a "Pierre Bourdieau and/or Paulo Friere." Being that there are differences even among "Marxian theorists," we kind of owe it to ourselves in our handling of the Sociology of Education to know the differences among these various theorists when some of their ideas are implanted into, or flavor, the social aspects of Public School programs by the government, especially where LGBTQ issues are at stake as a part of any possible ruling ideology.

No no, it's job is to help push public policy of any kind including inclusivity and diversity. Boy are you out of touch. (More sarcasm).

This is ridiculous cause there will be plenty of schools that want to do this and will use the "Well if the CDC recommends it we will absolutely abide by any recommendations the CDC puts out." It just gives them cover to do what they've wanted to do anyway.

People want approval for their debauchery and we simply can not do that for them. It puts them in a tissy because deep inside of them they know what they are doing is wrong and harmful. So their battle is really with themselves. But people would rather fight with others then to have to fight with themselves.

I think people desperately want to be accepted and want their actions to be accepted as well. They want to be thought of as normal.

I think you are right in that people's battles are internal. They know within themselves that what they are doing is not normal and they want to be. But since it is so difficult to alter the way they are behaving they want everyone else accept them the way they are behaving. They want all to accept that their actions and behaviors are normal.and wonderful and no different than anyone else.

But the truth is they are not like everyone else. The way of life for them is more dangerous in many ways than everyone else. Self inflicted danger and behaviors.

And in the trans case there life is built on a delusion, mental illness and a lie, but they desire everyone else also accept the delusion and lie as reality.
