The Transgender Crusades: Another Case for Abolishing Government Schools

Op-Ed by Scott Lazarowitz

Revelations regarding the sexualization of children and transgender crusades are making a good case for abolishing government schools, also known as “public schools.”

The uproar over the schools’ mistreatment of children can now join other past scandals involving sexual exploitation of children, such as the scandal with the Boy Scouts, and the Catholic priests, especially in the Boston area.

An atmosphere of enabling abuse has been seen in other areas, including show business, media and the arts.

For example, Harvey Weinstein, and other celebrities for years got away with their sexual misconduct and abuse amid an enabling Hollywood culture which has also been plagued with pedophilia scandals.

Matt Lauer, Charlie Rose and other media celebrities were also enabled with silence by colleagues and managements.And in the classical music world, the late opera conductor James Levine chased after teenage boys, with some of Levine’s alleged victims having described the atmosphere of control as a “cult.” Apparently orchestras and their managements turned a blind eye to the tête-à-têtes between Levine and teenage boys.

And then there is the intentional confusion of the genders in our society, such as in the corporate world.

Disney, for example, is “committed to ‘exploring queer stories’ and has created a ‘tracker’ to make sure they are creating enough ‘gender nonconforming characters,’ ‘canonical trans characters,’ and ‘canonical bisexual characters’,” according to Christopher Rufo.

Are the people at Disney living in some alternate universe?

Such seems to be the case in education, sadly.

Not only is there apparently an enabling atmosphere of sexualizing childhood in the schools, but an enthusiastic atmosphere.

The crusade to sexualize childhood with sex discussions and sexually explicit children’s books in the classrooms, has been going on for years, as reported recently by Michelle Malkin.

It sure makes me want to again call for getting government out of the education business.

The sexualization of children in their earlier years sets the stage for further, more direct exploitation and sexual abuse of students by teachers in middle and high school. Reported incidents involving sexual contact by teachers or coaches, as well as including the use of pornography and explicit sexual language, have been on the rise. And such incidents of sexual misconduct and abuse involve students against students as well.

Besides the general trend of the schools enabling the sexualization of childhood, could the destructive transgender crusade be contributing to a culture of abuse?

More recently in the news was the Florida “don’t say gay” bill that had nothing to do with not saying gay but merely prohibited the inclusion of sexual and gender-related discussions in the school curriculum.
During that controversy, various videos were posted on the Internet including a self-proclaimed transgender kindergarten “teacher” who, in an apparent remote-learning video lesson, discussed transgender issues with kids ages 5 to 7. The self-proclaimed transgender “teacher” inappropriately gets into details of his/her own personal gender-related situation.

Now, why exactly are so many people now insisting on discussing sexual issues with little kids? It’s like a crusade now, to have to discuss transgender, sexual orientation or otherwise LGBT topics — with little kids!

And while this cultish transgender movement is going on in the private schools as well as government schools, it is still a good case for throwing government-run and government-controlled “education” into the dustbin of history, in my view.

And it’s not just discussion in general. The “teachers” are getting very personal and intrusive toward the kids. Why is it necessary to have to drill some kind of “gender affirming” (or denying) regime into little kids? Why do the children have to announce their gender or gender identity to the class?

Can you see the intrusiveness of such treatment by these “teachers” of the little kids? I can imagine the feelings of intimidation and humiliation experienced by the kids. Why else would a teacher continue to ask a child, for example, “Are you sure you’re a boy?” if not to intimidate and humiliate the child?

Now that is what I would call “bullying” by teachers, i.e. ideologues. Is the teacher trying to make the child feel shame for being a boy, or being a girl?

The truth is, what these “woke” activists are doing, and as a matter of their official curriculum, is confusing children and messing them up emotionally more than the kids might already be.

And in some cases, the activists tell the kids something like, “Don’t tell your parents about this,” and so on. Hmm, what are they hiding? That’s the kind of thing that child molesters would say to their victims.

No, I’m not saying the transgender activists are child molesters. But I am saying some of the things I have heard make these people sound like child molesters, especially given their apparent avoidance of being exposed.

Another example of how “teachers” try to hide their indoctrination and invasiveness from parents is the phenomenon of the “secret gender transition closets.” Here, the kids change into their opposite-gender clothing when they get to school and then change back to their parents-approved clothes before leaving the school. So their parents don’t know what’s going on in school.

Regarding the activists exploiting the children’s insecurity, they need to understand that many children go through phases in which the children express curiosity of or desire to be the opposite sex, but they grow out of it. It’s a normal phase in their development.

Narcissistic activists do not seem to respect the natural curiosity of the child, or understand that it is just a normal but temporary phase. Activists have an agenda they want to impose on the little ones, apparently.

And yes, the sex-pushing activists are narcissists, as they do not seem to have an awareness of the negative impact their invasiveness has on a vulnerable child.

Such disrespectful treatment by “adults” causes the little kids feelings of distrust, humiliation, shame, and can cause the kids to have a future of dysfunction, depression or other mental health problems.

Is it more than just intrusive and intimidating sex-related questions or discussions that the crusaders insist on having with little children? What else might be going on?

In my view, these “teachers” really sound like pedophiles and perverts. Now, I’m not saying they are pedophiles and perverts, just that this group sure sounds like pedophiles and perverts.

Is there any way to force the schools to just teach math and reading? Do the teachers know how to teach math and reading anymore? (Probably not, given that the tax-supported colleges most of them attended emphasize kooky sex-related social agendas and not math and reading.)

There have to be ways to reverse the corruption of our institutions and social decay of society. Abolishing income taxes would be a good start. A society, including its education system, based on the involuntary seizure of earnings and wealth by the government rulers is destined to become corrupt.

And in education, abolishing the government schools would be a good thing. No government funding of educational institutions, because such funding is received through coercive and immoral means (taxation). Educational institutions and their funding being made entirely voluntary, as with other services on a free market, would be the moral way to run education and would promote more moral behavior in the schools, in my view.
