Yeah I'd bet Vanguard and Blackrock are behind it somehow.The "moneyed interests" are behind this somehow, he's sure of it.
It’s not in our schools.
Florida releases examples of rejected math books that contain 'prohibited topics'
The Florida Department of Education (FDOE) has released examples of some math textbooks rejected by the state for the upcoming year.www.wrtv.com
It isn't in schools so much that every major textbook company decided to include it in math questions. 40% of the textbooks had to be tossed because they focused on something other than math (or moved the focus).

The story is a bit confusingIt’s not in our schools.
DC school gave 4-year-olds ‘anti-racism’ ‘fistbook’ asking them to identify racist family
“Where do you see racism in yourself? This requires true soul-searching. Be real with yourself, don’t feel guilt/shame and own it. It’s the first step in becoming an anti-racist.”
I’m not sure exactly what is real given the below from local ABC channel:
Agreed, at least on under 10 year olds. These presentations could be done so much better and actually promote a conversation but the problem is they are put together by extremists.
It’s not in our schools.

Ah, our "former Republican" weighs in again.
No, it's pushed aside as a rare exception to not worry about, both here on this forum and in state statutes. Please show where this is outlined in, for example, the Texas law. Or the Mississippi law.
Google is your friend. Both of them have health exceptions. The Texas law allowed health exceptions that would result in the death of the mother or a severe loss or degradation in a bodily function and the Mississippi law would have allowed an exception for medical emergencies or “a severe fetal abnormality.”
That’s a pretty hilarious story.
When anti-racist education goes wrong and therefore necessitates even more anti-racist education because the former anti-racist education came from a white priveleged view.
These people are stupid.
The problem is, that it starts with one-in-a-thousand, but these fools won‘t stop until it’s made the norm.

You may have a point, but could you personally perform long division at a fourth grade level using Roman numerals?
I think you should stay away from the pervert accusations. I highly doubt any of these people have an interest in sexual relations or get off thinking about the kids.
I think anyone straight, gay, trans, or whatever else there is out there should get a side eye if they are trying to have sexual conversations behind a parent's back. To make clear what I said, if that was a straight male talking about having sexual conversations with children as young as 5 or 6 as part of a club, we would be questioning that person with the "this is a pedo-pervert" line of thinking in mind. The only reason we tip tie around it, and respectfully this is what you are doing, is because it is some non-heterosexual movement behind it. "You are calling gay people pervs." No, I am not. I am saying that anyone who is that interested in having those discussions with children and hiding them from parents should get the side eye the same way we would if it were 5 young girls or boys staying after school at a club not vetted by parents that was talking about masturbation (something shown that at least some of these groups are talking about) or some other such topic. And the fact they want to be secretive should set off all sorts of alarm bells.

This club wouldn’t last for a day after finding out about it in my district.
I didn’t realize these groups were discussing sexual acts or masturbation with elementary school kids. That is way wrong.I think anyone straight, gay, trans, or whatever else there is out there should get a side eye if they are trying to have sexual conversations behind a parent's back.

What term would you like me to use for adults who want to talk to prepubescent children about sex without the parent's knowledge and consent and then tells the children to keep it from their parents? Groomer and perv are out. What can I call them? And again, I don't give a shit if they are gay or not, I don't want straight teachers doing this shit either. It is a complete violation of trust.
"The most comprehensive report about sexual abuse in public schools, published by the Department of Education in 2004, estimates—on the basis of a 2000 survey, conducted by the American Association of University Women, of 2,065 students in grades eight through 11—that nearly 10 percent of K-12 students have been victims of sexual misconduct by a public school employee. Assuming that figure is accurate, this would translate into an approximately 4.5 million children nationwide suffering sexual misconduct by public school employees, with an estimated 3 million suffering physical sexual abuse."

People won't like the author of the article but the report comes from the DoE. 1 in 10 students suffering some type of sexual abuse or misconduct from a school teacher or administrator. So if pervert or groomer is not a fair term, what is?
I mostly agree - and would fully agree - were they talking about gender only. One can make a reasonable argument that gender and sexuality are unrelated and individual data points. By adding sexuality, they’ve jumped into perv territory. No elementary teacher or administrator should be discussing any type of sexuality with kids - be it hetero or other. It’s insanity and should be illegal.
I refuse to believe that number is accurate. 10%? Not a chance. Seriously that’s ridiculous.I think anyone straight, gay, trans, or whatever else there is out there should get a side eye if they are trying to have sexual conversations behind a parent's back.

I don't know if this particular group is talking about sexual acts, want to make that clear. I know that some are. One of the main issues here is the apparent lack of transparency. You don't know your child is in the club and we don't tell you what we discuss in the club.
That isn't all assaults. My guess is that figure covers anything from a male teacher telling a female student how "nice" they look in that outfit (in an inappropriate way) all the way up to the teachers we see that are having actual relationships with students. "Sexual misconduct" isn't well defined. It may be in the study but I didn't get through the whole thing.

And again, to clarify, I don't think that 1 in 10 number necessarily equates to molestation but it would include inappropriate conversations or innuendo in front of students. Otherwise I agree with Tanger that the figure is too high. Additionally, I would guess that the majority of those interactions would be classified as heterosexual in nature.
So here is my issue with you guys. Who qualifies as an "expert" on all of this? Those statistics are from the U.S. Department of Education. Click the link in the quote and it will pull up a nice pdf document for you. I would suggest, as I have throughout these school conversations, that everyone has a viewpoint of what is really going on based on what they see anecdotally around them. Got a spouse or relative or friend who is in schools and they tell you it is a-okay...well good enough for me. Nevermind that their experience is pretty limited to where they teach and who they teach with. We provide videos showing you that these conversations are occurring. Videos that say these topics are being covered. "Enh...that is an outlier, not happening most places. Show me this is widespread." Ok, pull a report prepared for the US Dept of Education. "No way that is accurate, if they are counting stuff that would qualify as sexual harassment in a workplace, that isn't really sexual misconduct..."
I ask this with all due respect, and as someone who is not a disparager of the topic. I'm not sure if you have already addressed this, and I certainly understand if you don't want to answer:
I have 4 school age children, 1 with special needs. I lived in this area before children (and paid taxes for the schools) and will probably continue to live in this area after they graduate (and pay taxes for these schools). In my time living here, believing that good schools are good for the public at large and selfishly, property values in an area, I have voted on numerous occasions to RAISE my taxes specifically for school related issues. So I guess for one, I am invested in the schools. For two, I make pretty good money, but private schooling would be cost prohibitive. Finally, we looked at homeschooling and other options and a special needs student makes that really tough...and my spouse or I would most likely need to quit our job.
