Alexandra DeSanctis debating wth Peter Sterne at Bold TV's Is Trump at War With the Press
(She is Right/Left: He is Left/Right)
I recently posted the article Catch them While They're Young about a story-telling event at the Art Gallery of Mississauga, where a lesbian writer who published a "transgender" book for toddlers was given a weekly slot at the gallery to use the book for story-telling events with toddlers.
And here is an article at the National Review Online today:
Forcing Transgender Ideology on Kindergartens
So far so good (at least with the title). But further down the author - Alexandra Desanctis (brief bio at NRO: "Alexandra DeSanctis is a National Review Institute William F. Buckley Fellow in Political Journalism and a graduate of the University of Notre Dame, where she studied political science, theology, and the Constitution.") - adds this:
The kindergarten teacher did not notify parents of the lesson and ceremony [“transition ceremony” for a gender-dysphoric student in her class, introducing him to other students as a boy before he changed into a dress and announced his new, female name."] in advance; they found out only after their children came home and told them. Many of the students reported being “deeply emotionally bothered and traumatized,” according to Jonathan Keller of California Family Council, a group that has been counseling the families about their rights.What do they teach in theology classes these days? How about: What is Right and what is Wrong. What is Truth and what is Falsehood? The big questions on morality, which is exactly where "transgenderism" fits.
If the best parents can do is demand their "right" to know what their children are being taught, then how will they explain to little Johnny: "No. You are a boy and can never be a girl." And tell young Mary: "Listen here young lady, you don't change what God gave you."
Of course the problem is clear, and deep. These parents DO NOT believe in gender specification. "You can be whatever you want to be" is what they've grown up with and damned if they wont impart that bit of wisdom, and fight to do so if necessary, to their own cherubs.
And through what lack of moral analysis can a theological writer, who appears to be "con" transgenderism, not realize this?
