Why Should We Reject Indoctrination for Our Children?

            The topic of discussion for this Constitution Monday concerns freedom of speech, particularly the freedom to NOT have certain words forced upon our children. From the experience of numerous people, we can only assume that the LGBT movement is much like the critical race theory (CRT) movement in that they want to force our children to learn information that is opposed by parents. In other words, both movements want to indoctrinate the children and by making parents irrelevant or an obstacle to their goal. Tim Graham explained it as follows. 

Just like the cause of critical race theory, the parents are not simply irrelevant; they are seen as an impediment to essential progress.

The other words [transgender, cisgender, nonbinary, and consent from a previous paragraph] sound ridiculous in a science class. They are at war with science. They are at war with common sense. And they are at war with religious Americans who feel that God made the human race male and female, not some unscientific blur.

The LGBT lobby does not believe in democracy or debate. They believe that all dissent is “hate speech,” and any opposition to their treacherous goals leads to youth suicide and emotional torture. They fight dirty, always assuming the worst of their opponents and always engaging in character assassination.

They can count on their staunchest allies for support – from Hollywood’s cultural shapers and the “news” media.

            Graham claims that proof of his statement is “in the way journalists have mangled and maligned a bill in Florida to prevent teachers from pushing their gender-bending ideology on children in kindergarten through the third grade.” They refer to the legislature as the “don’t say gay” bill despite the fact that the bill does not say what they say that it says. Graham said that such people do not consider an abortion at nine months to be “horrific,” but “failing to suggest to children that they might be gender fluid is a tragedy.”           

            After citing several news stories [from “CBS Evening News,” ABC’s “The View,” and ABC’s “World News Tonight,” Graham emphasized what was left out of the news articles.

Notice that no one says that parents can’t teach their young children at home about the birds and the bees, or, in this case, how birds can be bees, if that’s how they want to identify themselves. It’s mandatory that all children in schools be taught one ideology.      

I know that when I was a student, I would have been a nightmare for an indoctrinator. I would have fiercely spoken up with opposing arguments. That makes it seem obvious why the LGBT lobby thinks it’s so important to push their garbage on grade-school children, before they can offer the withering critique it deserves.

            This brings us back to the counsel from child-rearing specialists who have for many years encouraged parents to teach their children about sex from infancy. Parents are urged to use correct words to define the various parts of the body and to not shy away from questions asked by children.

            One word of caution is that parents should not assume that a two- or three-year-old child is ready to learn the complete story about babies and how they are made. Nor are they ready to hear how men can be women and vice versa. Our children come to us in innocence, and they should be allowed to remain innocent and pure for as long as possible.
