LAUSD is reportedly promoting a “Queer All School Year” calendar initiative for students in their schools. The calendar features monthly events and other resources as a way of pushing LGBTQ pride all year instead of just for the month of June.

KATV reported that “[o]ne resource included in the calendar promotes the development of Genders & Sexualities Alliances (GSA) clubs on campuses that have been accused of pushing gender ideology and politics on children.”

GSA clubs, usually known as “Gay Straight Alliance” is now referred to as “Gender, Sexuality Alliance” in many schools. Seeing more and more of this.

The Washington Examiner noted that “Documents from the Los Angeles Unified School District Human Relations, Diversity, and Equity office contain a month-by-month plan for schools to promote gay and transgender ideology to students in different ways.”

The documents were obtained by the Manhattan Institute’s Chris Rufo. They urged members of staff to “support students in starting a [Gay-Straight Alliance] or Rainbow Club” in August, “prep for next month’s Solidarity Week and teach LGBT-inclusive curriculum all year” in September, and to “post LGBTQ-affirming signs in your office, classrooms, and around campus,” in December.

In other words, this initiative is a full-on propaganda blitz designed to bombard students with LGBTQ ideology. Los Angeles students will be constantly exposed to progressive ideas around sexuality and gender identity – even more so than they already were previously. Another monthly plan involves “review[ing] your school’s practices to ensure everyone’s name and gender pronouns are affirmed” in March.

In a particularly racist component, the documents also featured slides from training programs intended for LA teachers, one of which claimed that black Americans, in particular, hold homophobic and transphobic views. “Black LGBTQ youth experience homophobia and transphobia from their familial communities and racism from the LGBTQ community,” one of the slides reads. “The Black community often holds rigid and traditional views of sexual orientation and gender expression.”

Interestingly enough, there does not appear to be any explanation as to why the documentation focuses on the black community when it is not the only one with non-progressive views on sexuality.

LAUSD released a statement to the Washington Examiner explaining that “Los Angeles Unified supports and respects the diversity of our students and families, which includes providing safe and affirming learning environments.”

The nationwide effort to push far-leftist dogma on sexuality and transgenderism has met with opposition from people concerned that schools are influencing children to embrace an identity that does not always reflect who they actually are. Author and journalist Abigail Shrier, who wrote “Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters,” has commented frequently on the peer pressure and social contagion aspects of the uptick in young female children identifying as transgender.

In a piece for the New York Post, she noted:

Between 2016 and 2017, the number of gender surgeries for natal females in the US quadrupled; in the UK, the rates of gender dysphoria for teenage girls are up 4,400 percent over the previous decade. An ailment that typically began in early childhood, and overwhelmingly afflicted males, suddenly has a new dominant demographic: teenage girls.

After interviewing dozens of families with daughters who believed they were transgender males, she identified a distinct pattern in their journeys:

“A girl never expresses any discomfort with her biological sex until puberty, when anxiety and depression descend. The girl struggles to make friends. She immerses in social media and discovers transgender gurus,” Shrier wrote. “Or her school holds an assembly celebrating gender journeys, or hosts a Gay-Straight Alliance club pushing gender ideology. At first, she tries out a new name and pronouns. Her school encourages her, keeping all this a secret from her parents. Then, she wants more.”

It is one thing to promote the idea that students who happen to be LGTBQ should be accepted and treated fairly. Nobody believes that these children should be subject to bullying, name-calling, or other types of ill-treatment due to their sexuality or gender identity.

However, what LAUSD and other school districts are doing is not simply promoting acceptance – they are glorifying sexuality and gender identity in a way that makes it more attractive to young impressionable children. If one were to take a more cynical view, they might believe this propagandizing is designed to persuade more children to identify as LGBTQ even if it is not actually part of their identities.

There is a reason why rates of gender dysphoria increased by 4,400%. There is no way this increase has been organic. It seems obvious that there is far more going on here than what school districts would have us believe. The good news is that there are people fighting back – parents have been pulling their children from public schools and embracing private schools and homeschooling. But if the LAUSD’s new initiative is any indication, the battle for our children’s minds is not going to be easy.
