I have to hear any credible reports of teachers anywhere doing anything other than possibly provided instruction in empathy. The Iowa majority has been provided boiler plate language to create false talking points. The I hear, or I was told crowd, needs to be told to show actual instances of bias.
I didn't get into this but during the House Education Committee meeting, Democrat Sharon Steckman said she asked the Mason City school district's curriculum director for materials on what they are teaching kids about gender. She read from one of the lessons designed for 5th graders. It was basically about undermining stereotypes. Like they would introduce "Jay" as a student who likes math and playing different sports, and then ask whether Jay is a boy or a girl. Or they would emphasize that boys can also like dancing. It wasn't sexual.
Schools use other age-appropriate material on human growth and development for those age groups.
Sounds like Pat has as much intellectual integrity as Grandpa.
