Not only are bureaucrats pushing transgenderism on children, but they are also hiding their actions from parents.

From Fox News. The New York State Education Department (NYSED) released 42 pages of new guidance for public schools Monday that includes a section about keeping children’s gender transitions a secret from parents in some cases.

The report, titled “Creating a Safe, Supportive, and Affirming School Environment for Transgender and Gender Expansive Students,” maintains that a student’s gender identity should be based on the student’s own assertion and that administrators should keep such information from families if they deem it necessary. …

If a student formally requests to transition at school, the guidance advises a school administrator or other “trusted adult, preferably trained in supporting LGBTQ and Gender Expansive students” to meet with the student to determine if the student is comfortable coming out.

 

“Some [transgender and gender expansive] students have not talked to their families about their gender identity because of safety concerns or lack of acceptance and may begin their transition at school without parent/guardian knowledge,” the guidance notes.

The guidance said the “paramount consideration” in such situations is to protect the health and safety of the student while “assuring that the student’s gender identity is affirmed and that their privacy and confidentiality are safely maintained.” …

Parental notification regarding students who identify as transgender has become an issue in public schools nationwide. …

Paul Jonna, an attorney with the Thomas More Society who is representing the women, told Fox News Digital last month that he was surprised to learn how “pervasive” similar policies have become in schools, even in deep-red states. …

Something is extremely sinister about hiding the truth from anyone. We know who the Deceiver is and apparently some schools and states have been deceived. Let’s pray that God would open our eyes and hearts to the truth.

    There has never been more deception in this country!! People are too afraid! Pastors are afraid to speak the truth with boldness. I’ve never seen anything like this. It’s getting late, believers! Pray and stand up!!

Father, in the name of Jesus, in whom all things were created, I pray on behalf of everyone who is sexual identity confused, especially our youth who have been targeted by Satan and his greedy hoolum pack of teachers, celebrities, sexual transition doctors, hospitals, lawyers, pharma, and counselors, who covet reaping the rewards of darkness from deceiving youth about their God given sexual identity and coercing and convincing them to hide their confusion from caring friends and family who can pray for them and get them into counseling programs that can help them overcome identity confusion before they begin radical and even irreversable surgical changes in their body through drugs and surgery. Father magnify the voices of those who were deceived and transitioned who now regret it, and let their voices reach confused youth everywhere to reconsider all thought of transition. Father, humans are your creation and just as Satan tried to corrupt the human race with fallen angels, he now tries to corrupt them with sexual confusion of all types. Father stop him, stop those who are greedy to profit through all this. Protect your creations from these schemes. We thank you for hearing and answering our prayers, in Jesus name and we receive all that we have asked.

Want the overblown, arrogant State of NY education system to understand what they are doing is completely illegal? Parents, citizens, taxpayers, etc. – band together and begin a multitude or avalanche of lawsuits, backed & bathed firmly in prayer. Do not back down. God will make a way but you have to put your toe in the water first.

We may need private “town hall” meetings to come up with some game-plans for Jesus First education our kids.

I am probably going to take a leap of faith ad see how I can help in the small town where my mom lives. I’m praying for a house that will facilitate small classes, and for a bit of land for kids who want to grow crops.

I’ve been considering alternate forms of education – to make it more meaningful.
For those who are interested in alternative forms of education, Tulsi Gabbard did an interview with a man who ran an innovative K-12 school where kids started their own businesses. If interested go to https://youtu.be/Zpjv8Ai2MA4
There are lots of good educational videos on you tube.

I’ve been concerned for a while about the future of education and came up with an idea. It’s NOT fully fleshed out, but for those who may be interested, here’s the short version… On the first day they meet, Give them creative lateral thinking exercises. One that I’ve used in the past is showing an image of a large rubber ball, and asking them to list everything they can do with it. Usually they come up with sport related ideas.
Then I challenge them to think more creatively with a list featuring wigs, hats and skirts in a category, and baby swings and beds in another.

Grades 10-12 meet M,T,R,F. Wednesdays they help adults teach younger students, and they work on projects that are personally meaningful. The first week of class features lessons that focus on Thinking Outside the Box.

The following week, Math, Science, History, and ELA in that order, will be the focus, while kids express ideas creatively and often in groups or with partners. “Limitless Mind” by Jo Boaler is a worthwhile read for anyone who is interested in how to teach math and collaborative projects that support basic study/life-skills.
I’m in total agreement with Carol. We can do this! The LORD will bless our efforts.

You know public schools had a beginning, when parents, men and women started them! FATHER GOD please raise up an army of parents and educators that will start private – public schools just like the beginning of organized education in America in JESUS NAME! Private because they will take NO federal dollars! Public because all children can attend! Parents can get involved from kindergarten to high school! For instance a welder can teach welding! A banker can teach finance! An attorney can teach law! A musician can teach music 🎶 and so on! Pulling out children enmass from public schos will cause them to rethink their policies! Check with the Home School Legal Defense lawyers who can advise you on how to get started! FATHER GOD please educate us on what steps to take as we get back in control over our children’s and grandchildren’s education in JESUS MIGHTY NAME! Amen!

Jesus, we humble ourselves before you, knowing you are always in control of each one of our lives and infinity. May you reign most high forevermore. Please forgive our nation’s sins and failures. Please guide us and protect our children of the world from evil. Shelter us from perversions and lies from the enemy. Help us put on the armor of Almighty GOD our creator as it is written in Ephesians. Heal our hearts and souls as we lean on YOU for guidance. Forgive our ignorance and human weaknesses. In Yeshua’s mighty name, Amen!

This kind of perverted behavior being forced upon our children isn’t new it’s just now being noticed. Most wouldn’t believe that it was occurring or didn’t care if it wasn’t their child. Praying.

    The magnitude to which children are being confused and parents marginalized is what has changed, however you are correct – “there are no new things under the sun”.

This makes no logical sense. When my children were in school they couldn’t even go on a two hour field trip without a signed parent permission form turned in to the teacher beforehand, they couldn’t receive any medication from the school nurse, but as parents, we sent in any medication they needed during the school day, labeled and kept at the nurse’s office with our directions and permission for the medicine we provided (whether prescription or non prescription) Piercing ears, tattoos, – everything required parental permission prior to turning eighteen. I would think this current behavior of secrecy for minors from parents/legal guardians would be illegal unless the laws have actually been changed already? how do they get away with this? I realize this is part of destroying the family by putting the government, not parents, in charge of children. The government does not have the best interests of our children at heart – (the government has no heart) – but is only driven by power, greed and control. Big pharma is creating life long patients who will need puberty blockers, then hormones forever, plus surgeries to transition and then surgeries for all those wishing to detransition (although those are kept quiet at the moment) so children transitioning, then adults detransitioning, do we see a pattern here? How any medical professional can mutilate the healthy body of a child by performing unnecessary surgery – I do not understand this. Lives and futures are being destroyed before these children reach adulthood and the legal age of consent. Parents are not being allowed to protect their children from themselves and when they try, their children are taken from them. Lord, God, You are our only hope. Help each and every child to find their identity in You, as Your child and to know You made them perfectly, they are not a mistake! “For we are God’s handiwork/workmanship/masterpieces” http://www.mtothe5th.wordpress.com

In all that is being said and done to try to make our society accept those who have decided to change their bodies we need only to look at Psalm 100 and verse 3. There we are told “It is He that has made us and not we ourselves!” This is my prayer for those who do not like themselves, even hate themselves, to come to this acceptance that God made them. I pray that they would come to love and accept God’s desire for their lives.

We call down these evil, satanic leaders in the Name of Jesus. We cancel every diabolic plan against our children and we say leave our children alone. Protect and save our children from these evil agendas. Cause parents to rise up and remove these leaders. Let the evil ones run when no one is chasing them. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen

    Sharon, I recently read the following account in 2 Chronicles 32 and was reminded of it when I read your prayer…

    Sennacherib sent messengers to Hezekiah who said, among other things, “Don’t let your God, in whom you trust, deceive you with promises that Jerusalem will not be captured by the king of Assyria.” HOWEVER, the Lord told Isaiah HE would defend Jerusalem from the Assyrians. That night, the angel of the LORD went out and struck down 185,000 men in the enemy camp. King Sennacherib broke camp and withdrew. He returned to Nineveh and stayed there.

    I cannot even imagine what they were thinking surrounded by the bodies of 185 thousand men but I can imagine them RUNNING back to Ninevah!

    Thank you Lord. We trust in You Alone, YOU ARE GOD Who WAS and IS and Will EVER BE! Because there is NO deception in You, I pray Your truth will give chase to the evil ones and all who look upon them running, will know from whom they are running. May they surrender to YOU.

We are living in hell. America has descended into an almost unrecognizable society. Immorality and psychological warfare have been unleashed. If you don’t agree with the current cultural trends you are labeled a “hater”. Abolishment of any objective truth is rampant. “Follow the science” is actually code for “dismantle all long-standing traditional beliefs and values”.

Hebrews 4:12-13 For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before his eyes, and he is the one to whom we are accountable.

Proverbs 10:9 People with integrity walk safely, but those who follow crooked paths will be exposed.

Proverbs 26: 26-26 They pretend to be kind, but don’t believe them. Their hearts are full of many evils. While their hatred may be concealed by trickery, their wrongdoing will be exposed in public.

Dear Father God, You are Almighty! You see the truth of this lie. In Your eyes, it is exposed and defenseless. Transgenderism is being pushed on our children. Transgenderism is just another way to inject more billions into Big Pharma. Transgenderism is a crooked path. These “educators,” who claim to be protecting children, cannot hide from You. This claimed kindness is evil. Forgive me for lecturing Lord, You see and know. In the Name of Jesus Christ, I pray You will EXPOSE this lie for what it is. In the Name of Jesus Christ, I pray You will hold accountable those who are pursuing, protecting and profiting from “it.” In the Name of Jesus Christ, I pray a Word would pierce these individuals to expose the truth of this deceit from hell. In the Name of Jesus Christ, I pray when exposed, these individuals will know deep and saturating Godly sorrow. I pray. Amen

Father God, we know this attempt of the enemy is coming from the pit of hell and we come against it in the name of Jesus to bring down every principality and power that has joined in to attempt to marr and defase your creation. Lord Almighty, we ask that you call to repentance every individual that is involved in this heinous practice and open their eyes to the truth so they repent, cease and desist. If their will is to do harm to our children, we pray that you bring to the light all of them that are willing to partner with the enemy and have them face the consequences in Jesus name. We also claim the territory of our schools for the kingdom of God and to transform the present darkness into your marvelous light in Jesus name.

Luke 12:2-3 2 Nothing is covered up that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. 3 Therefore whatever you have said in the dark shall be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in private rooms shall be proclaimed on the housetops.
We praise you and thank you All Mighty, Sovereign God for revealing this evil attempt to thwart your will for your children. Instill in us your spirit of excellence
as we fight the good fight against all of the enemies scheme, plans and devices.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
