A hardy band of gender critics has delivered a Demand for Action to the Seattle School Board, calling for an end to the promotion of Gender Identity Ideology in Seattle Schools.
I'm happy to see that you're utilizing tools provided by WDI USA. Wonderful organization. Parents and gender critical feminists can accomplish great things together.
Kudos to Carol for her hard work on this. This is an important battle and it may hopefully serve as a model for similar struggles elsewhere. The resources in the appendices are superb! Thank you!
Awesome! THIS is how we do it! Start out with the initiative, and stay with the initiative! Do not back down, do not try to be accommodating, stay assertive.
Yes, there's a link in my article above. Near the end of it. I'm working on a second article about the Board's behavior...and how we deal with captured institutions.
Wow. Kudos to persons involved. Gender ideology: a fraud so regressive it was bought and sold without any notice. the more awareness of this fraud the better
This is significant, you are right. The information that trans widows (ex-wives of suddenly crossdressing men--I describe behavior, not feels) are aware that there are connections with pornography, prostitution and drugs in this world. As adults, our husbands got the 1 appointment diagnoses, going back 30 years.
Well done! It’s heartening to see people standing up for sanity and protecting kids.
I would have loved to see someone call out that vice president for essentially giving people the finger with her little “If you don’t like it, leave” bit. Unprofessional, hostile and divisive. Completely inappropriate for a school board member.
Thanks. With 2 minutes limit on speaking, unfortunately we were not able to add in much, if anything. I will, however, be dissecting the Board's actions in an upcoming post, including the obnoxious love it or leave it statement from Rankin. Totally inappropriate for her to say, as you note.
Shoot me an email if you want to get involved in upcoming efforts....behind the scenes or visibly! Email is on About page. Lots is happening. Response to the article has been great.
This is tremendously brave and I believe you are speaking for the majority of parents with kids in the district. A handful of very loud ideologues have captured public education and do their very best to bully and oust the committed teachers who disagree.
I was in school to become an elementary ed teacher in Seattle well over a decade ago and even my earliest coursework was centered on activism in the classroom. There wasn’t any discussion of a differing opinion at all. There were correct positions to hold and immoral positions to hold, full stop. I wasn’t even learning classroom management.
I left my teaching program after I saw the crowded conditions in SPS classrooms and the push-pull of all this ideology on kids. Even choosing a math curriculum was a political issue at that time. Everyone was deeply ideological but lacked any true pedagogy.
It was obvious to me as a dumb college student that the people leading all this activism had landed cushy DEI jobs and now had to continually manufacture new social justice rhetoric in schools to justify their salaries.

This is incredible! Thank you for doing this work. I'm downloading all of these to share and use as resources.
WOW. I will be sharing these resources with others. Thank you for making them available to others so easily.
Great idea linking it resources. Will shout this out in our aggregate newsletter
We will win.
The transactivists and and friends ideology is unsustainable.

Liza Rankin should be ashamed except that she is obviously incapable of shame.
If it continues, pass a rule that if they continue to support gender indoctrination that parents can withhold school board taxes.
Sounds good , but it might be illegal.
You are courageous in the face of this dangerous authoritarian movement! Keep on with your good fight! Don’t let them intimidate you! It’s vital !
This is very heartening -- you make me proud to be a fellow Seattleite!

Thanks for sharing your experience. Still in Seattle? Did you leave education altogether?
Excellent! Thanks so much for stepping up!
That's an amazing resource Carol. It must have taken many hours to put all of that together. Very well done!
