Fox News Opinion piece by Todd Starnes

In short, a Utah High School invited a LGTBQ group called Moab Pride to their school to speak, for some reason. It got a bit out of hand and when the group started dividing the students up into different segments based on religious beliefs, politics, and other very personal things, the teachers lost control and did not intervene.

Not only this, but no parents were made aware of these guest speakers, and they are pissed!

quote:

Students at Grand County High School in Utah were supposed to attend poetry slam workshops on tolerance and acceptance. Instead, students were subjected to political rhetoric, LGBT propaganda and something called “identity mapping.”


Toddy, can you inform us on what identity mapping is or what the point of it is?

quote:

Parents told the Todd Starnes Show that one of the workshop leaders announced to the children, “I’m queer and I’m Trump’s worst enemy.” An untold number of students were directed by workshop leaders to separate themselves intro groups based on their sexual identity and their religious preference. Parents told the Todd Starnes Show they are livid over the September event. “I’m sending my daughter to school to get an education, not to learn about the LGBTQ community,” one parent said. Superintendent J.T. Stroder told the Todd Starnes Show the presentations were made to the entire student body during English class by poets connected to Moab Pride, a local LGBT organization. “There were some inappropriate examples used in those presentations – asking students to identify certain things about themselves that is protected by law,” the superintendent admitted.


quote:

He sent a letter to parents detailing his concerns about what happened at the high school. “I would not expect an exercise in which individual students are asked to reveal their sexual orientation and gender identity to be part of the English curriculum,” he wrote. “In this case, there was no parent notification that topics relating to sexuality would be discussed outside the approved health curriculum, which was not acceptable.”


quote:

Parents want to know why the Moab Pride group was allowed inside the high school and why teachers did not intervene when the group began to solicit personal information from the children. “I really don’t have an explanation,” the superintendent said. “It caught the school off guard.” One parent, who asked not to be identified, told me students were divided up by religion, sexual preference and political views. “Their intention was to plant seeds in the high school. They were trying to indoctrinate the kids. When you have people saying ‘I’m a queer and it’s okay. I’m a lesbian and it’s okay’ – I mean – that’s indoctrination,” the parent told me. As for the workshop where kids were forced to engage in identity mapping? “I don’t know what that means,” the superintendent said. Regardless, the school district said the presenters will not be invited back to the school. “Every child that walks into that school has to feel safe no matter what their religious views are or their sexual preference,” a parent said. “Instead of it being anti-bullying, the workshops directly pointed them out.” The folks in Grand County, Utah just learned a very important lesson about the sex and gender revolutionaries. They preach tolerance and acceptance, but the revolutionaries don’t practice what they preach.


My child is too young to be in school right now. I would not be ok with this if she was there, though. What would you do if this were your kid? Changing schools isn't so easy because I'm sure your kid would feel like they are leaving all their friends. Do you address this with the Principal, then the school district if it's not settled correctly?

Is there any doubt at this point that liberalism is a disease?

What happened to them?

It was only a matter of time before it happened and it will get worse.

Keep voting Democrat, America.

We are almost there.

Wow, and just how many is that? And being in school and exposed to the kind of stuff you outline in your OP would make for a well-rounded individual? I'm sorry you haven't had a chance to meet more homeschoolers. Keep your eyes open, there are more and more out there because parents are finding out just WHAT they learn in ps and WHO is teaching them.

I know at least 20 people who were homeschooled, maybe more. It's my hope that not all schools are like this and we only see the fringe reports of this kind of activity taking place.

I went to a very liberal high school and nothing like this ever came close to happening. It wouldn't have been tolerated.

Back to homeschools. I get the feeling some of the kids I met had a little bit of this vibe going on Jesus Camp documentary

Others just didn't have much social interaction with anyone other than their mother for most of their young lives. I saw a few of them really struggle to acclimate to college life.

That doesn't change the fact that this happened. And I was serious when I asked you what is the point of the identity mapping? What is the optimal outcome of that activity?
