Like many left-leaning public school districts across America, the leadership of Fairfax County Public Schools just outside our nation’s capital is majority white, despite the region’s racial diversity. Meanwhile, the district’s white, leftist leaders, who incessantly claim to be inclusive, are ironically ignoring parental objections to teaching radical gender ideology in schools.
At the end of June, the school board voted to include gender ideology in its seventh-grade sex-education curriculum. In response to a survey in which 84 percent of respondents opposed co-ed sex education, the white activist superintendent, Michelle Reid, is unilaterally implementing a pilot program in 14 elementary schools doing just that.
Why? Because it is important to white leftists that nonwhite children think like them, even if their parents disagree and it violates their religious beliefs. And across the nation, minority parents overwhelmingly disagree with radical gender ideology being taught in schools.
The Pew Research Center’s opinion polling, conducted April 8-14, 2024, shows that 70 percent of black respondents and 62 percent of Hispanic respondents say that “gender” is determined by sex at birth. Muslims have also recently mobilized around this issue in Montgomery County, Maryland, and Dearborn, Michigan.
Socialist Indoctrination in Lieu of Education
The purpose of public education should be to fundamentally educate our nation’s children, but public schools are failing our children in this most basic mandate. Although graduation rates have increased from 74 percent to 87 percent between 2007 and 2020, the average SAT scores have substantially decreased, showing that students are faring worse over time and that standards have declined.
Instead, school district leaders are advancing a cultural Marxist agenda designed to indoctrinate children from the most resistant families through radical gender ideology and other controversial topics.
On Jan. 10, 1963, Rep. Albert S. Herlong Jr. D-Fla., read the 45 communist goals for America into the congressional record. Among them, No. 17 states:
Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for Socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers associations. Put the party line in text books.
You have to give them credit. Cultural Marxists played the long game, and it seems they have finally found their pawns, as white leftists have become more concerned with pushing the transgender agenda than they are about their commitment to quality education or even racial equality.
To indoctrinate the younger generation with radical gender ideology, leftists facilitate the colonization of the minds of nonwhite children, whose parents statistically are more resistant to gender ideology than white parents. To that end, communist goal No. 41 states:
Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
Done and done. Muslim parents and all other parents objecting to the LGBT indoctrination of young children are referred to by the socialist rainbow mafia as bigots and homophobes. Meanwhile, parental access to and influence over what their children learn at public schools is being diminished.
To achieve the goal of distancing children morally from their parents, districts such as Fairfax County are often opaque about their curricula and objectives. In fact, many left-leaning school districts have policies explicitly forbidding children’s school administrators and teachers from notifying their parents if they claim to have a “gender identity” that is different from their sex. Instead, public schools usher the children into socially transitioning, while keeping the parents in the dark.
In places such as Montgomery County, parents are not granted the right to opt out their children from the most controversial lessons in gender ideology, even in elementary school.
And then there are the obscene and controversial books readily available to our children in their public school libraries.
White Trans Author Instructs Kids on Sex App and Islam
Communist goal No. 25 provides another insight into the cultural Marxist playbook. It reads:
Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
The goal did not stipulate that the promotion of obscene materials needed to occur in K-12 public schools, but ambitious white leftists have elevated the old directive to a new level.
Take This Book Is Gay, for example. The book, which instructs its readers on how to navigate an adult sex app, is available in many K-12 public school libraries across the nation, including in Fairfax County. Apparently, we are no longer concerned about child trafficking and endangerment so long as it expands the dating pool for LGBT Americans. The book is also endorsed by the National Education Association, one of the teachers unions that has helped to introduce the cultural Marxist agenda into schools.
The book’s author, Juno Dawson, is a white British male who identifies as a woman. In true colonizer fashion, Dawson attempts to write with authority on Islam. Unfortunately for Dawson and other white leftists, the transgender identity cannot void whiteness or the colonial history of the British they would love to forget. Even still, Dawson sanctimoniously pretends to understand Islam better than Muslims and wrote a section of the book titled, “How to Argue with Muslims.” In it, the omniscient colonizer informs readers that “the Quran is on your side.”
Many Muslims, including TikTok user @Luqmann_97, disagree with Dawson’s interpretation of their religion. But the even larger problem is that left-leaning school districts are promoting inappropriate books to young children, which are intentionally used to drive a wedge between the moral foundation of children and their parents. In this strange version of today’s reality, the rational and conscientious objectors are publicly villainized by the tyrannical minority that supports these absurdities.
But we cannot say the left didn’t warn us about what they were going to do. This plan was documented in the halls of Congress over 60 years ago. If we are going to protect our children, we need to take these leftists at their word and unite with minority communities in doing something about it.
