Gender Ideology as State Education Policy

Excerpt:  “One sees the effects of gender ideology almost everywhere. It seems routine when a conservative journalist uncovers yet another banner celebrating ‘Young Trans Joy’ on school grounds. It is all too easy to find footage online of a school district hosting a drag queen event or of a rainbow-spangled teacher explaining how he, she, or ‘they’ treat the teacher lectern as a pulpit. When parents complain about pornographic books in school libraries and classrooms, the media uniformly attack them as puritanical book banners. This Backgrounder examines state-level policies in public K–12 education to see how many state health education frameworks and standards explicitly teach and endorse the concepts of gender ideology. The results are deeply troubling.”
