"Transing" the Public Schools

An incremental, systematic approach has been underway in the educational system for many years and its fruit is abounding. 20 years ago, many were shocked when VCY America learned that the Milwaukee, WI, public schools had a gay and lesbian advisory committee that met monthly.

VCY America obtained an extensive manual filled with information on how to incorporate the gay-lesbian and bisexual agenda into the schools. At that time they were speaking of homophobia and heterosexual privilege. There was information on how to reduce homophobic bigotry by having role models such as openly homosexual teachers, coaches and administrators. They also spoke of bringing in homosexual guest speakers and establishing gay-straight alliances to reassess the curriculum to incorporate gay and lesbian issues throughout, and not just in classes like health education, but in traditional disciplines as well. One example is the use of same-sex couples in math story problems.

Based upon the success of change agents, the same kind of indoctrination is underway to promote the transgender agenda as well. The guest on this edition of Crosstalk calls it, the "transing" of public schools.
