I found her calling the children 'Huckleberries' and 'kiddos' offensive.

I find the idea of humans offensive but here I am behaving myself.

We all have our own parenting style, our own bias, our own coping mechanisms and we all must acknowledge how that translates to harm or help our children. We are all within our rights to choose what our children should be learning, but choosing that children not learn about the wide world outside and not about inclusion should be looked at more closely as to why guardians/parents would not want their child to be inclusive and to be able to identify discrimination and prejudice.
This is the teaching tool from where snippets of OPs video sprung but that video from "Conservative Twins" is playing to it's base.
The film has received numerous awards including the Silver Prize for Documentary Feature (2021) in the Social Justice Film Festival and a nomination for Northwest Regional Emmy® (2022) in the category of diversity, equity, and inclusion – long form content.
There is no “one way” to implement anti-bias education. The four anti-bias goals help guide the work. This approach involves critical thinking and a deep understanding of the complexity of the issues and the context of your community. The film is a provocation to generate dialogue about how to bring this approach into your practice.
The film is organized around the 4 interrelated goals of anti-bias education, which are relevant to both children and adults. (Derman-Sparks& Edwards, 2020)
Goal 1: Identity: Demonstrate self-awareness, confidence, family pride, and positive social identities.
Goal 2: Diversity: Express comfort and joy with human diversity; accurate language for human differences; and deep, caring human connections.
Goal 3: Justice: Recognize unfairness, have language to describe unfairness, and understand that unfairness hurts.
Goal 4: Action: Demonstrate empowerment and the skills to act, with others or alone, against prejudice and/or discrimination.

Your child won't be asking anything -non-appropriate- without outside influence. The most common questions a child will ask is where babies come from. Parents for generations say, "When two parents love each other very much, they are blessed with a child" They don't go into fertilization and actual sex descriptions until they are older 12-13 when males usually get their first boner because of hormonal changes and women start their periods.
Best part is it's worked for over 2,000+ years, it's this stupid generation that wants to talk to kids about sexual intercourse before they even hit puberty. Sad part is even Muslim female children don't get put through the crap yall are doing to your kids, AND THEY GET STONED TO DEATH FOR SHOWING THEIR ANKLES!

The problem is, that isn't what they are teaching people - so there goes your outside influence (pedophiles). That is what they want you to think, how many people read the books that are assigned to their child. Like what was it that book about mowing the lawn, given to 5-7year olds and went through all the ways of violating someone else in full detail.
For each person who defends these schools who are teaching this, they are abusing your trust. Yes, it's for the parent to decide this is true. Then you sit your child down and have that talk with them. Don't make it part of the school education system, because guess what those other parents aren't given that choice. Your making it for them.

You know what really happened when that kind of talk spread? The parents asked who said it, then filed a sexual abuse report with the police on the child's parents. The police looked into it, and 9 out of 10 times that child was being molested.
So you want to give pedo's and people the ability to hide behind a school classroom education class, by forcing them to teach sex ed to kids. Good Going, you can't see what your doing I can't help you.
All your doing is opening the door for more children to be molested, but now their parents can just sit there and point to these classrooms as the reason why their kids are talking about it instead of actually helping said child when he/she is trying to speak out and ask for help. Kids don't go up to a person at random and say 'he/she was touched' they talk about what they are going through.
You destroy 1 of the very few ways to identify child molestation, and endangering the kids by doing so.

Good post, I agree with this. Have you ever tried to understand where the people who do not like this sort of thing are coming from? You may find out that the both of you have a few valid points.
Learning things exist is a good thing.

Nothing sneaks in by any back door in schools because all you have to do is ask your child and they will tell you what's going on. If you are worried about access to books that are not age appropriate, investigate the school's library yourself and see exactly what books are there and if you have an issue bring it to the authorities. Children bring to school what they learn at home as well.
VENETA, Ore. -- An instructional assistant at Veneta Elementary School is in court Friday after being charged with encouraging child sexual abuse.
Court documents state that investigators with the Lane County Sheriff’s Office reviewed tips from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children regarding images of child pornography that had been uploaded to the internet.

Here...this is from right down the road (just a few miles from Eugene):

Kind of shoots holes in your "Nothing sneaks in by any back door in schools..." theory doesn't it?
Minimize it if you'd like...I'll find 1,000 more stories just like it!
The term "grooming" refers to the process the child molester undertakes to gain a child's trust, and sometimes the parents' trust as well. Over the course of months or even years, a child molester will increasingly become a trusted friend of the family, offering to babysit, take the child shopping or on trips, or spend time with the child in other ways. Many child molesters won't actually begin abusing a child until trust has been gained. Some may use others opinions around them to back up their trustworthiness in order to take children shopping.
Child molesters look for children who are vulnerable to their tactics because they lack emotional support or aren't getting enough attention at home or will try to convince the parents their children are safe with them and that they are not going far. The child molester will attempt to step in as the "parent" figure for the child.
Some child molesters prey on the children of single parents who aren't available to provide as much supervision or convince parents that they are nice enough people to supervise without them.
A child molester will often use a range of games, tricks, activities and language to gain trust and/or deceive a child. These include: keeping of secrets (secrets are valuable to most kids, being seen as something "adult" and a source of power), sexually explicit games, fondling, kissing, touching, sexually suggestive behavior, exposing a child to pornographic material, coercion, bribery, flattery, and—worst of all—affection and love. Be aware that these tactics are ultimately used to isolate and confuse your child.
Since children who don't get a lot of attention are especially vulnerable to predators, make sure you are spending a lot of time with your child and that he or she feels supported. Take the time to talk to your child every day and work toward building an open, trusting relationship.
Child molesters will ask the children to keep it secret from their parents.
Ensure your children understands that if someone has asked them to keep a secret from you that it isn't because the child will get into trouble but the person who has asked them to keep the secret knows what they are doing to them is wrong.
Express interest in all of your child's activities, including schoolwork, extracurriculars, hobbies, and other interests.
Let your child know that they can tell you anything, and that you're always willing to talk. Reassure them that they won't get in trouble if they talk to you about something that made them uncomfortable or something they found unusual.
No because my response was specifically to your books sneaking in the back door remark.
We were discussing sneaking in through the backdoor materials that will secretly teach our children about others that don't conform to the girl/boy man/woman gender ideology that a lot of you here find disgusting.
teach your children what inappropriate questions adults should not ask you...how can this harm children when it may very well protect them?
