A model New Jersey state curriculum provided to parents in the Westfield school district and released by State Sen. Holly Schepisi (R-39) suggests that students should begin learning about gender identity as early as the first or second grade.
Transgender activists believe that gender identity is different from biological sex, and that individuals may switch genders. While there is growing tolerance for that idea among adults, including in Supreme Court decisions, many Americans believe it should not be introduced to young children, for whom discussions of sex, gender, and sexuality are inappropriate.
As Breitbart News reported earlier this week, Sen. Schepisi released the curriculum materials publicly, as reported by SaveJersey.com:
“Although I voted against the legislation mandating certain sexual education classes for even the youngest of children I’ve taken a measured approach and have waited to further comment until I saw what was proposed,” Sen. Holly Schepisi said in a story posted on the Save Jersey website. “Today I reviewed all of the model school instruction materials and I truly think New Jersey has lost its damn mind.”
“While some of the lessons I agree with, many are completely overboard with cringy detail for young kids and some go so far as unnecessarily sexualizing children further,” Schepisi said. “For me the most outrageous part are teachers are instructed to promote a website Amaze and its YouTube channel to kids as young as 9 for them to get additional information on sex ed.”
“I encourage all parents to take a look and decide if this is something they deem appropriate for kids this age,” she said.
Schepisi posted the materials on Dropbox for the public to peruse.
While some materials might be considered broadly acceptable — such as telling kindergarteners that it is OK for some kids to have two mothers or two fathers — others cross into more sensitive topics.
In one set of materials for first grade, students are to be taught to “Define gender, gender identity and gender role stereotypes.” In another, for second grade students, students are to be taught that “there are some body parts that mostly just girls have and some parts that mostly just boys have. Being a boy or a girl doesn’t have to mean you have those parts, but for most people this is how their bodies are.”
In addition, Schepisi pointed to materials for students in fifth grade, which includes a link to a website called Amaze. The Amaze YouTube channel includes a separate video (not linked in the materials) promoting pornography:
New Jersey needs a revolution like Virginia just had!
Parents rose up against the wokeness culture and elected a Governor and Representatives that listen to them!
We need that here in the socialist republic of maryland!
Getting them ready for Biden !!!!!
This is right out of HITLERS play book, You have to go after the kids if you want control! And this is what they are doing! NON-STOP! They know this messes up your kid mentally and this is what they want, part of their plan, so when you have a bunch of crazy kids running around doing bad stuff or killing people, because teachers and the gov’t f’d them up, It takes literally a decade or longer but at least a minimum of a decade to undo anything in society! But only at the very moment you change, then it will be minimum of 10 years or more, but if you keep teaching or saying the same bs, it takes longer clearly!
