Parents Outraged As More Schools Push Transgender Materials On Three-Year-Old Children

Parents Defending Education (PDE), a parent advocacy group, has issued a warning that a Minnesota school system is attempting to force transgender and “pride” books and materials on children as young as three-years-old.

According to the group, two organizations, AMAZE and OutFront Minnesota, are being given permission to spread the materials across Saint Paul Public Schools.

Among the books distributed to pre-schoolers are “When Aidan Became a Brother”, “I Love My Colorful Nails,” and “My Princess Boy,” according to a document released by the PDE.

The stories are about young boys and girls who are transitioning or who have the impression that they are not of the same gender as their biological gender.”Social-Emotional Learning and Anti-Bias Education” are two of the proposed activities for children in the AMAZE handout. Another handout also encouraged instructors to “Ask Students for Name and Pronouns” and to “Refer Students to the Name/Gender Change Request Form.”

In addition, the website of OutFront Minnesota promotes programs that give free “chest binders (specially-designed chest compression garments)” for “folks 24 and under” or for “any trans person who needs one and cannot afford or safely obtain one.”

The director of outreach at PDE, Erika Sanzi, said, “It is especially egregious that after more than a year of disruptions and closures, the district is pushing ideologically driven content and resources on students and families.”

Sanzi continued, “In the most recent round of state testing, 33 percent of St Paul students tested proficient in reading — down 6 points from 2019 — and 21 tested proficient in math, down 9 points.”

“It is one thing to treat all students with the dignity they deserve; it is quite another to be so far out of your lane that you are partnering with outside organizations that think it is appropriate to engage toddlers in conversations about gender identity and sexual orientation.”

Sanzi asked, “How can a school district even defend spending time and money on this ideological garbage when 2/3 of their students can’t read on grade level and 80 percent aren’t proficient in math?”
