=== Gender Inclusion Controversy (02:16) ===

[00:00:00]  Now, some California parents are frustrated with the schools.
[00:00:04]  Why is there this tension between parents and the school board?
[00:00:07]  Well, first of all, the experts don't like commenters like parents.
[00:00:12]  The experts think that they really have the answers that normal people don't have.
[00:00:18]  I'll give you an example.
[00:00:19]  Just a few weeks ago, there was a Zoom conference of elementary school teachers.
[00:00:24]  It was for gender inclusion classrooms.
[00:00:28]  Now, this is gender inclusion for elementary school kids.
[00:00:32]  So it's basically sex education.
[00:00:34]  So this Kiernan Slattery, who's a fifth grade teacher in Massachusetts, says, I ignore the caregivers, quote, end quote.
[00:00:44]  He says, I'm a white, queer, transsexual man.
[00:00:48]  Quote, end quote.
[00:00:51]  These are teachers, tenured teachers.
[00:00:55]  They were on a conference call on Zoom.
[00:00:57]  It's fully recorded.
[00:00:58]  It was April 26th.
[00:01:00]  This year you can look it up.
[00:01:02]  And they're basically saying the parents are not really relevant.
[00:01:04]  We're going to teach these children to like gay and trans people.
[00:01:08]  We're going to tell them about the bodily functions of third graders.
[00:01:12]  We're going to teach them to be inclusive.
[00:01:14]  We're going to teach them to be open-minded and not to listen to their parents.
[00:01:18]  They're doing this because they can.
[00:01:21]  The schools have been infiltrated deeply by people that aren't even very good teachers, but they're propagandists.
[00:01:29]  And then my favorite, the newest one, just days ago, Scottsdale parents in Arizona sued the school district Because the school district was spying on the parents.
[00:01:41]  They had dossiers, electronic dossiers on the parents who went to the school board meetings.
[00:01:46]  And the name of that school board president is Jan Greenberg.
[00:01:51]  And he was forced to resign when it became clear that they were monitoring, like the FBI, parents who objected to that.
[00:01:59]  So it's really a war.
[00:02:02]  It's really serious.
[00:02:04]  Many school districts hate the people they are serving because they're there because some union pushed them into power or they felt that they had an entitlement.
[00:02:14]  Not all school districts are bad.
