Pre-K students in Maryland will learn about gender identity and expression, including how to “recognize and respect that people express themselves in many different ways” and understand “that there are different types of families (e.g., single parent, same-gender, intergenerational, blended, interracial, adoptive, foster, etc.),” reports Fox5 News in Baltimore.
Additionally, teachers are not required to inform parents about their child’s desire to change genders, according to the Maryland State Department of Education’s state’s health education framework.
Under the gender identity and expression subcategory of the “Family Life and Human Sexuality” section, the state says pre-K students should also “recognize and respect that people express themselves in many different ways.”
By Kindergarten, children should recognize “a range of ways people identify and express their gender,” and the importance of treating people of all gender identities and expressions “with dignity and respect.”
The report comes about two weeks after Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis signed into law the “Parental Rights in Education” bill, which bars classroom instruction in public schools on sexual orientation or gender identity for children in kindergarten through third grade (about ages 5-9).
Other states have followed suit.
Maryland GOP Gov. Larry Hogan earlier this week slammed the legislation as “absurd” and criticized DeSantis for going after Disney CEO Bob Chapek for publicly condemning the bill.
“I didn’t really actually see the details of the legislation, but the whole thing seems like just a crazy fight,” Hogan told CNN‘s “State of the Union.”
“It concerns me that DeSantis is always talking about, you know, he was not demanding that businesses do things, but he was telling the cruise lines what they had to do,” Hogan said about Florida waging a legal battle against Norwegian Cruise Lines over its vaccine mandate for passengers.
“He was telling local schools what they – mandating – and now he wants to criticize Disney for expressing how they feel about that bill
Another state mandate that the local boards will be blamed for.
Like Nazi Germany WW2 > INDOCTRINATION !!!! The Maryland Youth !!! Hi – Hogan !!!!
In the mean time MD”s majority minority schools aren’t fit for cockroaches. The majority of the “students” can’t read or write or tell you what 2 plus 2 is when they enter high school. Those schools are also dangerous hell holes. But it’s the democrat plan. “Teach” nonsense and it keep the blacks dumbed down as they should be according to the democrat plan.
And why aren’t the parents to blame for their child’s lack of education?
School is for learning about reading, spelling, math, writing, history etc.
Leave sex and ‘gender studies’ to the parents and medical professionals.
Even the newest Supreme Court Justice can’t define a woman so what qualifies a teacher to do this task?
COMRADE HOGAN allows the State Education Board indoctrinate our children without any protest. Another Socialist Liberal move by this RHINO. Not many nails left to put in his political coffin.
Since Demcoms have no morals or sense of morality it only figures that they desire to indoctrinate children at the earliest age possible to accept immoral and abnormal views and values.
pull your kids out of public school. NOW. They cannot be saved. If you teach, quit. Go tutor home schools kids. They pay isn’t any worse and you won’t have to deal with a room full of didndu nuffins.
You’ll also be able to correct their speaking without being labelled as racist…
Expeshully the ones that axe questions!
People get your kids out of these schools!! You are what you were born!! Stop letting these people put this crap in childrens heads!! These people are sick!!!
