GENDER CLOSET AT HIGH SCHOOL IN LAS CRUCES NM: Parents, look 🧐🧐🧐, Centennial High School in Las Cruces was awarded a $10,000 grant to build a "GENDER AFFIRMING" CLOSET where kids can CHANGE THEIR GENDER IDENTITY AT SCHOOL.

If you are not in support of this, you need to GET INVOLVED by contacting the school, contacting the LCPS Board, and showing up to give comments at School Board meetings. Upcoming meetings are Oct 25, Nov 15, and Dec 13 at 6pm at 505 S Main Street.

ATTN ALBQ FOLKS: PLEASE ATTEND RALLY IN SUPPORT OF PARENTS RIGHTS BEFORE THE SCHOOL BOARD MEETING ON OCT 19 👇👇👇

APS is considering a new policy, KB1 - Parent Rights and Responsibilities, that would establish parents' rights to be informed about what is happening with their kids at school. THIS IS A GOOD POLICY WHICH WE NEED TO ENCOURAGE THE SCHOOL BOARD TO PASS. ATTEND THE RALLY AND SIGN UP (after 8am on Oct 19) TO GIVE PUBLIC COMMENT HERE: https://www.aps.edu/about-us/board/about-board-meetings-1/virtual-meeting-signup/

The progressives and trans activists around the state are calling on people all over the state to oppose this new policy. IT IS TIME TO STAND UP AND SHOW SUPPORT FOR PARENTS RIGHTS.

BREAKING: Emails unearthed by America First Legal (AFL) via FOIA request reveal the Biden administration forced schoolchildren to wear masks because poll data showed it was politically popular.

This is disgusting and unethical.
From the Albuquerque Teachers Federation regarding the new “parents’ rights bill”
Albuquerque Teachers Federation is thrilled with the NM midterms. It’s amazing to me that we let these clearly partisan “nonpartisan” unions represent public sector employees. I’m not a member, but they represent me by default.
I’m surprised this is considered news. This is standard procedure in America’s schools.

TEACHER TRAINING IN TRANS CULTURAL FLUENCY TRAINING 🧐🧐🧐: Albuquerque Public Schools paid $50 to teachers who attended.

The class was ostensibly aimed at helping teachers support trans students. However, the class included many UNSUBSTANTIATED CLAIMS AND IDEOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK including:
• Sexual organs are irrelevant to a person's gender.
• A boy who plays with dolls is not actually a boy but is non-binary instead. A girl who wants to play football is not actually a girl but is non-binary instead.
• Addressing trans students by the name and pronouns they were assigned at birth is disrespectful, and teachers were advised to model language and behavior.
• Society is to blame for the mental health problems and suicides of trans students.
• Using puberty blockers just pauses puberty while the child decides which puberty to go through.
