The NEA is pushing far left teaching upon children

Of course there is. Explaining to kids what is happening as they grow up is the job of adults.

Growing up isn’t easy and not talking about something because the adult thinks it’s icky is disgracefully bad care.

Why do kids need to know? Why does three percent of the population require me or anyone else to tell and explain to kids about their difference? Why does this issue that only affects three percent of the population need to dominate the conversation? Why does three percent of the population get to choose and force pronouns on others that are contrary to the actual English language definition of these pronouns? Why does three percent of the population require the rest to use their preferred name when said name does not match them physically? Why does three percent of the population get to inject gender confusion to everyone else?

No. Kids have enough to deal with their own role confusion issues to add this topic to it. This is the baby of the far left not of the rest of us.

No it won’t. Demystifying something reduces confusion. That’s why we explain things.

Yes it will add to their already complicated role confusion. Do you know what role confusion is?

Secondly, is not just about explaining things but about they conforming to what is being taught. There is no reason for kids to have to conform to non conforming speech and to be forced to do so.

It's unfortunate but there are any number of teachers or professors who are teaching outside of their field & that is malpractice. Is it because they got marching orders or are they just going with a trend or do they really believe that going out of their way is so valuable to the student. Return to classical education. The gender stuff in particular is malpractice. When did any of us going thru school encounter a class in any grade where the teacher opened the lesson questioning whether some kid thought they were created wrong & the teacher is their to fix it. This gets into an area where the teacher is not licensed. When one looks back at the last decade of this stuff it shows that even in the USA, our own govt gets into social engineering no different than Mao Tse Tong. That is why people should never fawn over govt. The gender stuff is a case of body dysphoria & should be treated as a mental health issue. But here the politicians are looking to make more victim groups. I'm an educator by trade & lifelong academic & I have a lot of criticism for what the education system has become & I am disappointed in both parties. Neither party is creditable in their vision on education. On the left we have all these topics that encourage either victimization or pretending that the whole world can just do kumbaya or that we must generate animosity with tit for tat warfare. On the left it's really become about activism. Now the current view from the right I observe that they say all college is bad & no help to anyone & we should perhaps disband it. They want everyone to be a plumber. Well civilization includes people of all academics & occupations. Very sad when the right frowns on the fine arts or does not see the value of a course in sociology. So when you look at the theatrics, remember these people are just pundits. They aren't experts in anything. Can you imagine a country that had no theaters or choirs. The bookstore might as well vanish because you would only be able to sell books on plumbing. So neither side gets it.

Never. You are misusing behaviour and construct.

A behavioral construct is the means by which one interprets their experience and organizes their understanding of the world. Since when did "transgender" interpretation of their experience and organization of their understanding of the world... become an identity?

Education like health care should not be a competitive market.

Why not?

There are many instances of the Bible dictating unethical and immoral behaviour so they are not by necessity; they can be but it’s not guaranteed.

According to who? According to you? What moral weight does your opinion hold over anyone else's?
