SCOOP: Portland Public Schools is now teaching elementary school students to subvert the sexuality of “white colonizers,” acknowledge that girls can have penises, and begin experimenting with “ze/zir” pronouns and exploring “the infinite gender spectrum.”
Here’s the story. 🧵

The new curriculum translates the principles of academic queer theory into K-12 pedagogy. The premise is simple: privileged heterosexual “white colonizers” have created an oppressive “gender binary” in order to exploit racial and sexual minorities. pic.twitter.com/GZWNYVOqdj

Beginning in kindergarten, teaches give anatomy lessons with graphic drawings of children’s genitalia. The lessons refer to “person with a penis” and “person with a vulva,” because some girls have penises and some boys have vulvas. “Any gender and kid can have any type of body.” pic.twitter.com/6oOgQbVdjO

In first and second grade, students are introduced to basic queer theory. “Many people think there are only two genders, girls and boys, but this is not true. There are many ways to be a boy, a girl, both or neither. Gender identity is about how you feel about yourself inside.” pic.twitter.com/IqrdjqIaVu

Teachers tell students they can “change their name to match who they are, like their gender, culture, or just what they like better.” They can adopt synthetic sexual identities and experiment with “they/them” and “ze/zir” pronouns. “Only you can know what your gender is.” pic.twitter.com/dyd4ApwAxz

In third through fifth grade, it’s pure queer theory. “The culture, systems, and assumptions that everyone is straight and cis is called cisheteronormativity.” This system is a form of “oppression” designed to benefit “white straight cis boys” and to punish “LGBTQIA2S+” people. pic.twitter.com/8Nxy1Dridb

Teachers are encouraged to eliminate the terms “girls and boys,” “ladies and gentlemen,” “mom and dad,” “Mrs. Mr., Miss,” and “boyfriend, girlfriend,” and make sure to include information about how to “pause puberty” and use “hormones and/or surgeries.” pic.twitter.com/gX3sA0nSVP

By the end of fifth grade, the curriculum explicitly asks students to become political activists make a “commitment to change,” according to the dictates of queer theory. Students receive a list of six commitments: pic.twitter.com/viQkIhTyOn

The clear plan here is to just exhaust people with this stuff.
I feel totally exhausted, to the point where I just want everyone to die.
Portland Public Schools has launched a war against the “gender binary” and adopted a radical new curriculum teaching students to subvert the sexuality of “white colonizers” and begin exploring “the infinite gender spectrum.”
I have obtained a cache of documents from a source inside Portland Public Schools that exposes the nature of this curriculum. The lessons seek to turn the principles of academic queer theory into an identity-formation program for elementary school students; it has been adopted in many of the district’s K-5 classrooms.
The premise is simple: privileged white heterosexuals have created an oppressive gender system in order to dominate racial and sexual minorities. As the curriculum explains, “gender is colonized,” and Western societies have used language to erase alternative sexualities. “When white European people colonized different places, they brought their own ideas about gender and sexuality,” the curriculum reads. “When the United States was colonized by white settlers, their views around gender were forced upon the people already living here. Hundreds of years later, how we think and talk about gender are still impacted by this shift.” (When reached for comment, Portland Public Schools wrote: “We make certain that our curriculum is LGBTQ+ inclusive for students who identify as transgender, gender non-conforming, gender-queer, and queer to create a safe and inclusive environment for all of our students.”)
The curriculum begins in kindergarten with an anatomy lesson featuring graphic drawings of children’s genitalia. The lesson avoids the terms “boy” and “girl” in favor of the gender-neutral variants “person with a penis” and “person with a vulva,” because, according to the curriculum, some girls can have penises and some boys can have vulvas. “Any gender and kid can have any type of body,” a related presentation reads.
In first and second grade, students are introduced to the key tenets of gender-identity theory. “Gender is something adults came up with to sort people into groups,” the curriculum states. “Many people think there are only two genders, girls and boys, but this is not true. There are many ways to be a boy, a girl, both or neither. Gender identity is about how you feel about yourself inside.” Next, students work through a lesson called “Our Names, Genders, and Pronouns.” The lesson tells them that “gender is like outer space because there are as many ways to be different genders as there are stars in the sky.” Students, the curriculum explains, can “change their name to match who they are, like their gender, culture, or just what they like better.” They can be “boys,” “girls,” “cisgender,” “transgender,” or “nonbinary,” and experiment with pronouns such as “they/them” and “ze/zir,” according to their personal preferences. “Only you can know what your gender is,” they are told.
In third through fifth grade, the district begins lessons on “LGBTQIA2S+” activism. The curriculum presents the categories of “man” and “woman” as manifestations of the “dominant culture” that has used sexual norms to oppress minorities. “The culture, systems, and assumptions that everyone is straight is called heteronormative. The culture, systems, and assumptions that everyone is cisgender is called cisnormative,” the curriculum claims. “Therefore, the culture, systems, and assumptions that everyone is straight and cis is called cisheteronormativity.” This system, according to the lesson plan, is a form of “oppression” designed to benefit “white straight cis boys” and to punish “LGBTQIA2S+” people.
The solution, according to Portland Public Schools, is to obliterate the “white colonizer” conception of sexuality, with its rigid male-female binary, and encourage students to inhabit “the infinite gender spectrum.” This means destroying the system of “cisheteronormativity” and promoting “queer” and “trans” identities. Teachers are told to eliminate the terms “girls and boys,” “ladies and gentlemen,” “mom and dad,” “Mrs. Mr., Miss,” and “boyfriend, girlfriend,” in favor of terms such as “people,” “folx,” “guardians,” “Mx.,” and “themfriend.” Students are shown photographs of “gender non-conforming” individuals and encouraged to celebrate the flags for “nonbinary,” “genderqueer,” “gender fluid,” and “Two-Spirit” identities. For some students, the subversion of the gender binary might also involve a gender transition. The curriculum provides a detailed explanation of how to “pause puberty” through “hormones and/or surgeries” and advice on adopting a “nonbinary” identity and set of pronouns.
By the end of fifth grade, the curriculum explicitly asks students to make a “commitment to change,” according to the dictates of gender ideology. Students receive a list of six commitments, including: “I commit to learning more about what LGBTQIA2S+ words mean and how they have changed over time”; “I commit to learning about the history and leadership of Black trans women”; “I commit to practicing pronouns and correcting myself EVERY time”; “I commit to attending QSA/GSA and being a leader at my school”; and “I commit to watching and reading books, movies, and TV shows that have LGBTQIA+ characters.” In other words, they commit to becoming political activists for queer theory and the broader sexual revolution.
People should know this is what they’re saying.
They’re saying it to all the kids.
The plan is to make all the kids at least into homosexuals, and to mutilate the hormone systems and genitals of as many as possible.
The American education system is a meat grinder that makes the Ukraine look like a juice machine.
Look at this – these are the lessons!
What do you do about this?
What are you supposed to do?
Honestly, I would recommend fleeing to Mexico or something. Thailand won’t let you in permanently anymore unless you’re big rich. I don’t know about other countries.
Afghanistan might be an option, frankly. If you can get your wife there, you can put her passport in a safe, and she can’t escape. The authorities are not going to hear her case, I can tell you that.
Do something. Don’t have faggot children.
The psychological madness we’re witnessing in our current culture today is going to pale in comparison to what we’ll see in the next 10-15 years when this indoctrination gets to voting and working age.
Prepare your kids appropriately. Shit is going to get real dark.

What other genders are there? In almost 70 years, I’ve only met people from 2 — male or female — that’s it.

I remember when it was important to teach kids things like math, reading, science, and health. Are we not competing against other countries anymore?
Seriously, it wasn’t that long ago that we heard all about US students falling behind the rest of the world. What happened?— Bully4Freedom🇺🇲 (@Bully4F) July 27, 2022
I wonder what parents would allow this confusion to be taught their children making it very difficult to help them become emotionally, physically and intellectually well adjusted. Mental illness will be off the charts in 15 years.
