Principals Finally Stand Up for Children’s Rights
August 2, 2023 | Maryland
Principals in a Maryland county that has forced children to sit through lessons featuring gay and transgender characters told county officials the lessons were inappropriate, according to a newly disclosed memorandum.
The lessons are based on books including Pride Puppy, My Rainbow, and Prince and Knight that explore untraditional themes.
“There are concerns that the plot of some of the books center around sexual orientation and gender identity,” the memo, conveyed to Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) by the Montgomery County Association of Administrators and Principals, states. “There are concerns that some of the books are not appropriate for the intended age group, or in one case, not appropriate at all for young students.”
Principals, for instance, said that using My Rainbow in lessons for children as young as 7 was problematic because the plot centers around a girl who believes she is transgender, with the book also using the word cisgender. (Excerpt from The Epoch Times.)
