For a group of people who likely haven’t stepped foot on an elementary school campus in decades, there seem to be some strong and very misinformed feelings about what goes on there. Kindergarteners aren’t learning about sexual intercourse, Second Graders aren’t being encouraged to explore different genders, and Fifth Graders aren’t being pitted against each other in some sort of guilt-inducing race war. That’s utter nonsense, and the people peddling it are lying to you for votes and ratings.
Instead of raging over the vile hogwash you are being fed, I’d encourage you to make better use of your time by volunteering an hour of your week reading with struggling students, becoming a business partner to help fund different school projects, or signing up to be a substitute teacher once a month. Find your local elementary school and start putting effort into getting to know the staff and students there. We aren’t evil liberals indoctrinating the neighborhood kids with some leftist agenda; we’re real people with big hearts who choose to spend every day working with kids so they better comprehend what they read, explore the world around them, ask questions so they can more fully understand what they see, and live effectively in a community. We tie shoelaces, give hugs to sad seven-year-olds, talk through conflict between fourth-graders, and provide wet paper towels to soothe boo-boos Kindergarteners swear exist but we can’t actually see. We laugh with our kids, eat lunch with them, and give them a feeling of comfort and stability many are missing at home. Sometimes we might even provide the first smile or kind word they’ve gotten that day. And yes, we occasionally lose our cool and raise our voices because the little boogers have gotten on our last nerve and we’re human, for goodness sake.
But mostly we love.
Stop believing the lies, quit demonizing us, and let us do our jobs. Carve out some time in the coming weeks and and make a visit so you can see what really happens in these weird and beautiful little spaces.

As a retired educator I thank you for your comments, they're spot on my friend. :)
 
I would like the distinction between public and private schools.

The research is the most extensive body of work to date that shows comprehensive sex education should begin as early as kindergarten.

New York state Sen. Samra G. Brouk, a Democrat who represents western parts of the state, introduced a bill this year that would "ensure all pupils receive, as an integral part of education in grades kindergarten through twelve, comprehensive sexuality education."

The new standards, reportedly expected to be implemented once revised curriculums from various districts across the state are approved, assert that by the end of the second grade, students should be able to “Discuss the range of ways people express their gender and how gender role stereotypes may limit behavior.”

An elementary school in Cupertino, California—a Silicon Valley community with a median home price of $2.3 million—recently forced a class of third-graders to deconstruct their racial identities, then rank themselves according to their “power and privilege.”

It's only okay when private schools can indoctrinate their kids into religion in school. You know. God hates fags, women should be in the bedroom pleasing their men, that sort of thing.

The OP asked you to find out what is actually going on in your local schools and your response was to scour the internet and post a list of "the side I dislike behaving badly."

The OP made several assertions, including that sex ed and CRT inspired lessons on race weren't happening in our public schools. The OP also challenged others to stop believing lies.

I simply corrected those false statements and, by doing so, demonstrated that it is the OP who is, ironically, believing lies.

I think we should indoctrinate our kids on the evils of overuse of CAPITALS!

Oh, come on. Three of your four links are not about a current curriculum. The fourth one is a hair-on-fire article from a conservative think tank. The links don't support your assertion that the OP is believing lies.
 
And to that end, politics has solidly and intentionally destroyed yet another concept... education.

You corrected nothing. You demonstrated nothing.

And you can let us know when you have something beyond gainsaying to add to the discussion. I provided cites to backup my assertions. You've provided nothing.
