Wisconsin School District Works With Activists To Teach LGBT Lessons to Elementary Students

By Hudson Crozier

What’s happening: Madison Metropolitan School District (MMSD) in Wisconsin has a weeklong lesson for elementary school students on gender identity and sexual orientation that includes “classroom discussions.” It’s organized by the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) as part of its “Welcoming Schools” initiative.

“Spectrum of identities”: A training video for teachers explains the differences between gender identity, “sex assigned at birth,” and sexual orientation. It says that by ages 2 through 4, “most kids know who they are, how they identify, [whether] they feel like they are a boy or a girl, both, or neither.” The MMSD program leader boasts that the school district has “many elementary school students who identify as cisgender, as transgender, as nonbinary, and the whole spectrum of identities.”

On sexual orientation: Teachers discuss “who you want to marry when you are older” with students from kindergarten through third grade, emphasizing that “anyone can love anyone.” By fourth grade, children learn the meanings of “gay, lesbian, bisexual,” and other sexual orientations while figuring out who they are “physically attracted to.”

Why it matters: HRC reported that its “Welcoming Schools” program had reached 46 states and over 130,000 teachers in 2021. This is one of the ways school districts across the country partner with LGBT activist groups to push radical content onto young children. The federal government has allocated millions of taxpayer dollars toward promoting such efforts.
