The document clearly instructs public schools districts to begin teaching students — beginning in Kindergarten — about gender expression, gender identity, gender roles, and sexual orientation. The state expects this area of education to be completed by the seventh grade, so that students are able to “distinguish between biological sex, gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation.” engage.fpiw.org
OSPI is using the definitions of standards and outcomes to confuse you. But make no mistake – come 2017, public schools across the state will be teaching students, beginning in kindergarten, about gender expression, gender identity, and sexual orientation. It is foolish and deceptive for OSPI to claim that schools will not be expected to teach these concepts because these requirements are “outcomes” and not “standards,” hiding behind semantics as a means of avoiding public backlash.
OSPI conceded that it does not plan to issue a press release or otherwise inform parents of these radical changes. By now, they must be aware of their overreach and are preparing for blowback from the parents of students across the state. Join the conversation online!
Sign the petition, and call OSPI State Superintendent Randy Dorn (360-725-6000) to let him know that you’re not on board with not being notified of these new standards. Partner with FPIW to fight this radical agenda! – www.christiantoday.com –
