This is Undaunted Life, a man's podcast. I'm your host Kyle Thompson. Let's get into it.
0:54
Train up a child in the way he should go. Even when he is old, he will not depart from it. Proverbs
0:59
22-6. Guys, before we get into the content for today, which, whoo, it's going to be a tough one.
1:03
But I just want to thank all the guys that are partnering with us on a monthly basis and are
1:07
donating to our ministry. Again, as I've talked about a lot before, we do not sell anything other
1:11
than t-shirts, which we basically don't make any money off of. But we have guys that are partnering
1:14
with us on a one-time basis, but also on a monthly basis because they know that this is important
1:19
content. They want it to get out to more people. And that is how we have to do this, guys, because
1:23
when we accept donations, we put that right back into the ministry to figure out ways to
1:27
get this content out to more guys like you. So thank you to those guys that are already doing that.
1:30
But if you would like to help us out as well, you can go to our website, www.Undaunted.life/donate.
1:36
Again, guys are dropping into an a one-time deal. But also we have guys that are hopping in,
1:40
you know, basically across the board, they want to help us on a monthly basis because they're
1:43
looking at their budgets. They're like, yeah, I support this every month and this every month.
1:46
I want to support something that's doing really, really good work. So obviously we would ask
1:49
you guys to consider doing that. Now, I'm just going to go ahead and get into the subject matter
1:52
for today. And I'll just be real honest with you guys from the very, very beginning.
1:55
Preparing for this episode was incredibly difficult. It was incredibly taxing on my brain because I
2:01
wanted to talk about a lot of different things. And anytime you're tackling a subject where there's
2:04
a lot of different tendrils coming off of it, you got to make sure that you're doing a good job.
2:08
But I was just angry. I was furious. I was so mad at points during this episode research that I
2:13
could spit nails. And I even apologize to my wife because whenever I was doing most of this research,
2:18
I was like, man, I was not being very nice. But it was like the subject matter was absolutely
2:22
weighing on me. Because here we are, we're back to normalizing pedophilia.
2:27
Like, I literally cannot believe that this has turned into a series, right? So I did a race in
2:33
America series. I did the botting Afghanistan series. But now normalizing pedophilia, I guess
2:37
it's going to be a thing now. Okay. Because episode 87 of this podcast was called normalizing
2:42
pedophilia. I kind of brought some things up there. And then in episode 152, I visited it again,
2:46
because we're talking about basically the normalization of P as the LGBTQ plus P is kind of where we're
2:52
at now. So I would definitely suggest you go back and listen to those episodes to kind of give you an
2:55
idea of kind of where we're at and how we got to where we are today. But this particular episode
2:59
was inspired by a mother and a courageous and brave mother that brought the fire to a recent
3:06
school board meeting. So her name is Stacy Langton. A lot of you guys have seen this. But she went
3:10
to the Fairfax County Virginia school board meeting on September the 23rd of 2021. And I'm
3:14
going to show the video here in a second, but shout out to do better F CPS. I think that's Fairfax
3:18
County public schools for the video. I want to make sure that they get credit for this. So it
3:22
will be in the show notes. But guys, I'm just going to tell you from the jump explicit content
3:26
warning for this video, but also for the rest of the podcast, because we're we're not going to
3:30
pull any punches with this. We're going to get right into some of the content that is going into
3:34
your kids ears. Okay. So I'm going to go ahead and play the clip for you here.
3:36
After seeing a September 9th school board meeting in Texas on pornography in the schools,
3:45
I decided to check the titles at my child's school, Fairfax High School. The books were available
3:52
and we checked them out. Both of these books include pedophilia, sex between men and boys.
4:03
Both books describe different acts. One book describes a fourth grade boy performing oral sex
4:12
on an adult male. The other book has detailed illustrations of a man having sex with a boy.
4:19
The illustrations include Filetio, sex toys, masturbation, and violent nudity.
4:33
pedophilia here. From the author, Maya Kobabe, quote, "I can't wait to have your cock in my mouth. I am
4:42
going to give you the blowjob of your life. And then I want you inside me." End quote. From the
4:47
author, Jonathan Everson, "What if I told you I touched another guy's dick? What if I told you
4:54
I sucked it? I was 10 years old, but it's true. I sucked Doug Goble's dick, the real estate guy,
5:00
and he sucked mine too." This is not an oversight at Fairfax High School. This material, their children
5:10
in the audience do not interrupt my time, do not interrupt my time. I will stand here until my
5:19
time is restored and my time is finished. These books are in stock and available in the libraries
5:27
of Robinson for high school, Langley and Anandale High School. Pornography is offensive to all people.
5:34
It is offensive to common decency. It is the reason why the MPAA is our next speaker is Alex.
5:42
I mean, astonishing. Absolutely astonishing. I'm so glad she responded the way that she did.
5:48
She didn't just keel over and be like, okay, roll over, play dead. But this clip should
5:52
infuriate you guys for a myriad of reasons. Here are the ones that I just pulled off top of my head.
5:56
First of all, the school board authoritarians, they interrupted her during her speaking time,
6:01
which is just bad to quorum. She wasn't doing anything that was outside the pale of common
6:07
decency. She was reading from books that were at her kid's school. The second thing is that the
6:11
school board authoritarians actually cut off her mic. They're looking around like,
6:17
if you're watching the video, which I highly suggest that you watch it on our YouTube channel,
6:20
but they're looking around at each other like, what are we going to do? What are we going to do?
6:23
Then they just cut her mic off in the middle of her time. Again, she wasn't doing anything
6:28
that was worse than what these kids are already being exposed to. Another thing is the school board
6:34
authoritarians a little bit tongue tight, but they actually edited the public video stream.
6:39
So if you watch the video, again, they edited the public video stream so that you couldn't see
6:43
the pictures from the book that this mother showed. So it looked like the mother had blown up these
6:48
pictures from the book showing all these, you know, sex acts with children and like just opened
6:52
them up and showed it to them and made sure all the school board can see them. But they changed
6:55
the video to where it wasn't focused on the mother. So you couldn't see the pictures. It was like a
7:00
backshot where you couldn't see anything. That should make you furious. Another thing is one
7:04
of the school board authoritarians tried to smooth over this woman's rage, right? By explaining to
7:09
her that, man, these books are for high schoolers. I don't know if you caught that, but man, these
7:13
books are for high schoolers as if that matters, right? Because again, these books were in middle
7:18
schools, right? Or maybe like ninth grade area, but we're talking 13 14 year olds.
7:23
Man, I mean, these aren't these aren't for anybody. These are for high schoolers.
7:28
Otherwise known as children, right below the age of 18. Another thing that I thought was crazy is
7:35
one of the school board authoritarians feigning that they were actually trying to protect children
7:39
that were in the room while simultaneously trying to silence the woman pointing out that these books
7:46
were available to the children, such as the ones in the room to begin with absolute seared
7:52
consciousness, unbelievable. But also a couple of things that that should absolutely make your
7:57
skin crawl is that these books were available in the library to begin with, and that the mother
8:01
had to dig to find them, right? It wasn't just out there. She had seen something that went on in a
8:08
different state and thought, I wonder if that's going on in my school and then lo and behold,
8:12
it was. Okay. So guys, there's a lot of reasons for today's show, but I want to kind of boil it
8:16
down for you. The reasons for today's show to the first one, I guess, is to expose you to other
8:21
stories like Stacey Langton's. Okay. Including guys, you're definitely going to want to stick around
8:26
for this, including one from my own backyard from a school that is five to 10 minutes away from where
8:34
I'm standing right now in my studio. Okay. I'm going to eviscerate this school board, right? So
8:41
you're going to stick around for that. But also a reason is I want to give you guys the tools to
8:45
fight back against this darkness. Again, everything that we do, everything that you guys that are
8:49
partnering with us are helping us do is equipping men to push back darkness. There is some crazy
8:53
darkness in this area. And most of you guys don't have the tools to fight back. We're going to help
8:57
give them to you. And the last thing is just to wake you up. Again, I talk about parents all the
9:01
time just being asleep at the wheel. No more, no more. We're going to do what we can, but you got
9:06
to do what you do. Yeah. Like you got to do some things as well. But let's go ahead and get into
9:10
some other stories from around the country because just even doing a cursory glance and a cursory
9:14
look, I found so many stories. And I just pulled the ones that I found first and put them on here,
9:19
but there's so many more. So we're going to go into a bunch here. So the first one is from the
9:22
Christian post and it's a I'll read the, I'll basically read the title and then we'll get in
9:26
some different things. But here's the title. Here's the headline. Ohio mayor order school board to
9:30
resign or face criminal charges over child pornography taught in schools. Okay. So in this particular
9:36
school district, so this is in the Hudson city, public school district in Ohio, they had writing
9:40
assignments that they were given to these children. Okay. Here were some of the writing
9:44
assignments that were given to these kids. Write a sex scene. You wouldn't show your mom.
9:48
Explain a time when you wanted to orgasm, but couldn't describe your favorite part of a man's
9:56
body using only verbs and write an X rated Disney scenario.
10:01
Yeah, seriously, that was an English assignment in English class. Okay. But it doesn't just stop
10:10
there. The teachers in the school district told the students not to take this writing prompt book
10:17
home. So their parents wouldn't know what they were writing about. They were trying to hide it
10:21
from the parents. Okay. So at the Hudson city school district, board of education meeting that
10:26
happened, I think it was four or five weeks ago. Now Hudson mayor, Craig Schubert, a Republican,
10:31
actually addressed the school board directly. And he said this,
10:34
girl, members of the board, my name is Craig Schubert, I'm the mayor of this city.
10:44
It has come to my attention that your educators are distributing essentially what is child pornography
10:51
in the classroom. I've spoken to a judge this evening. She's already confirmed that.
10:58
So I'm going to give you a simple choice. You either choose to resign from this board of
11:05
education, or you will be charged. Thank you. I mean, you want to talk about a drop the mic moment.
11:19
I mean, when we get a Republican back in the White House, we need to get this guy,
11:22
the Congressional Medal of Freedom. I absolutely love this. He was up there for what 30 seconds,
11:26
and he just basically burned the place down. I loved it. Okay. So let's get in some more stories
11:30
here. This is from Fox News, Texas mom erupts at school board over anal sex passage in
11:34
middle schoolers book. So reading from the article here, Cara Bell, a former school board candidate
11:39
at Lake Travis independent school district read a sexually explicit passage from out of darkness
11:43
by Ashley Hope Perez, went, which she said could be found in at least two district middle schools.
11:49
Take her out back, we boys figured, then hand on the titties, put it in her corn box,
11:55
put it in her corn hole, grab ahold of that braid, rub that calicle,
11:59
Bell recited on the ball to the board Wednesday night. You can find that on page 39 of the book
12:04
called out of darkness, which you can find at Hudson Bend Middle School and B cave middle school.
12:09
I do not want my children to learn about anal sex in middle school said Bell raising her voice
12:13
before her mic was cut off. Yeah, they're doing that there too. You are not public health officials.
12:18
You are not supposed, or you are supposed to be educating our children. Okay. So that's from Fox
12:23
News. Now we got CBN news. Here's a headline outrage. Six year old students told to write
12:28
gay marriage proposal and love letter. So this is actually one from the UK reading from the article
12:33
here. A controversy is brewing in the UK after a video surface last month showing a group of young
12:39
students at a primary school in England being asked to write a same sex love letter. BBC Radio's
12:44
man or radio Manchester posted a video detailing the LGBTQ lesson that was taught to children in
12:49
Bucey Lodge primary school in Warington, England. In the video, teacher Sarah Hopson instructed
12:54
the class to pretend to be a fictional fairy tale character named Prince Henry and write a
12:58
love letter to the princess servant Thomas explaining why they should get married. They're going to go
13:03
out into the world and find this diversity around them and they'll find that at a young age as well.
13:08
Hopson told BBC and the more they can be accepting at this age, you are not going to face it further
13:13
on because the children will be accepting now and will be accepting this diversity around them,
13:19
right? And in she just a sweetheart. Now another one from Fox News. So this is Minnesota Public
13:23
School asks students to role play sex scenarios as gay or trans or as gay or trans activists take
13:31
issue. Okay, so I love how that's in the title. Like, oh, activists take issue. Yeah, with the fact
13:35
that they're telling students to act out gay and trans sex scenarios. My goodness. I mean,
13:40
let's go and get in the article here. Activists spoke out against a sex ed program used in a
13:45
Minnesota school district that includes asking straight students to role play gay and transgender
13:50
relationships. The lessons include asking students to role play various relationships scenarios,
13:54
including straight students pretending they were in a gay or lesbian relationship and to work through
13:59
whether the hypothetical couple should have sex. In one of the lessons the student is asked to
14:04
pretend to be a male named Morgan who is very active in his school's LGBTQ club. While another
14:09
student is asked to be parents, a student who wants to have sex with Morgan and is not publicly out
14:14
is gay. Morgan then outlines a plan for the two students to secretly meet according to the curriculum
14:19
and they make a decision about whether to have sex. Another lesson other lessons include having
14:24
students pretend they are transgender and make a decision about having sex with a woman curriculum
14:29
on anal sex designed for students in kindergarten through fifth grade. In the context of HIV AIDS
14:36
prevention and a section for teachers outlining some straight male students might have a homophobic
14:42
response to the role playing. Yeah, just keeps getting better. Now from the daily wire, Texas
14:47
teachers instructed to help students hide gender identity from parents from the article, a teacher
14:52
training for a Texas public, Texas public school district directed teachers to hide information
14:56
about students gender identity from their parents in order to make a school a safe place. Teachers
15:01
at Leander independent school district north of Austin received a training presentation in
15:06
October last year that instructed them to discuss gender identity with students, ask them whether
15:11
it was okay to share the parents or to share the students preferred pronouns with their parents.
15:15
The training titled supporting LGBTQ plus youth in schools was led by two school social workers
15:22
working for the district Felix Barnhart and Monica Kelly who describes herself as fat positive and
15:27
sex positive therapists. Add your pronouns where wherever your name is published and then also
15:32
whenever you are introducing yourself just to normalize the sharing of pronouns Kelly suggested
15:37
to participants in the training. Another idea she said is to let students identify themselves
15:41
on the first day of class with their individual name and pronouns and make sure to inform substitute
15:46
teachers and anyone else visiting the classroom of their correct pronouns. So that way it protects
15:51
the student from being misgendered or called a name that they don't identify with. So that's just
15:57
a little bit from around the country. Again, I could have done 100 more probably, but now we're
16:03
going to get into my backyard here. I could not believe this story. It's going to take me a while
16:09
for to unpack this, but just buckle up. So I'm putting Dear Creek Public Schools on notice, okay,
16:17
specifically their elementary schools. Okay, so as I mentioned earlier, the school in question,
16:22
which I can't name the exact one and I'll get into that in here in just a second. It's five
16:26
to 10 minutes away from my house. Okay, now here's the thing. The Dear Creek School District,
16:30
if you don't live in Oklahoma, you don't know about it. But Dear Creek is in the top 10 school
16:34
districts in the state of Oklahoma, regardless of the of the list that you look at. Okay, so Edmond,
16:39
which is the town I live in is typically number one or number two. And then you've got Dear Creek,
16:42
that's also in the top 10. And so we have people that are moving from all over the state, really,
16:47
from all over the place into this area, because they want to be in the Edmond Public School District
16:51
and the Dear Creek Public School District. Okay, it's an incredibly but desirable school district
16:56
for these parents to move to. So I got reached a guy reached out to me who listens to this show,
17:01
because he was forwarded a letter and email from a parent, basically saying, hey,
17:07
this is crazy. How can I get this information out to more people? So I'm going to be leaving
17:12
names out of this because I can't, you know, violate confidentiality. There's some things going on
17:15
behind the scenes that I can't really talk about. But I am going to talk about it in general. Okay,
17:19
so there was an email that a father of a student sent to the teacher that was teaching his student.
17:25
Okay, so again, I'm leaving names out, but I'm just going to read you the email that he sent
17:30
to the teacher and the response from the teacher. So this is the email to the teacher from the
17:34
father. Good evening, teacher's name. This is the parents name, the student's father. It was nice
17:41
meeting you today. And the student is really excited about being in your class. I have a quick
17:46
question. When reading the quote, just a few things quote memo, I was concerned with a section
17:51
titled critical literacy. While several of the topics I feel are appropriate and well-intentioned,
17:57
some of the other topics I do not feel are appropriate for this age group. Is the curriculum that was
18:03
designed or is this curriculum that was designed by the school district or are you in control of
18:08
all the learning material? Okay, so now let's get into the response from this teacher to the father.
18:14
Okay, good evening, Mr. Blank. Thank you for sharing your concerns. And it was wonderful
18:18
meeting you as well. I do want to assure you that the conversations are very child friendly
18:23
and the critical literacy books are picture books written for this age. There is not a
18:27
district reading list, but we do practice inclusive literature as a means to honor all
18:33
diversities. I do not ever impose my personal beliefs or try to change other children's beliefs
18:37
when having discussions with students. But I do try to read books that relate to all the unique
18:42
needs of all of my students each year. It is important all students and families feel honored
18:47
and the children hear stories that they can relate to as well as ones that are different
18:52
as this helps the child build this helps build the children's perspective, taking and acceptance
18:57
of others. The list I provided is a general list. And I do not necessarily read all the books every
19:03
year. If there are some specific choices you are concerned about, I am more than happy to discuss
19:07
them further with you. I know many of the topics seem heavy, but you would be surprised what kids
19:11
this age are drawn to. For example, the lemonade club is a story about a girl who has cancer. In the
19:17
story, her classmates show their support for their friends by shaving their heads after they learn
19:21
that their friend is scared to go to school after her chemo treatments. She loses her hair and is
19:25
afraid of what her friends might say. When she returns to school for the first time, she is welcome
19:29
with a class of hairless friends. In my class, I am usually stopped as the children are all wondering
19:34
when she will get her hair back. They usually are not caught up in what cancer is or ask me to explain
19:40
that. We talk about how her classmates showed kindness. I asked them if they would be willing
19:44
to do something like that for their friend. Most of them say no. And we talk about why our hair is
19:49
so important to us. We also talk about how the girl was feeling and a time when my students were
19:54
worried about something about someone else about what someone else thought of them. In this example,
19:59
I can also tell you that in the past three years, I have also I have had almost half of my class
20:05
know someone or a relative dealing with cancer. And it has been a way for them to realize that they
20:09
are not alone. And we may and we may all face something this scary. How do we deal with that?
20:14
And how can we help our friends who need us? Side note, I never encouraged them to shave their heads,
20:20
but the illustrations and from the story are so heartwarming. I can assure you that all the
20:24
conversations are very G rated and appropriate winky face. If you have any specific concerns,
20:30
I am always available to discuss them with you. Okay, so a few problems with this email.
20:35
Okay, and then we'll get into the actual attachment. So there's this quote, there is not a district
20:39
reading list, but we do practice inclusive literature as a means to honor all diversities.
20:44
So again, the words inclusive and diversity should not be trigger words, but they are today.
20:50
Because that doesn't mean a lot of things. It basically means one thing and it's one segment
20:57
of diversities. There's another quote, quote, I do not ever impose my personal beliefs or try to
21:02
change other children's beliefs when having discussions with my students, unquote. Yeah,
21:07
if you believe that I've got some oceanfront property in North Dakota that I can sell you.
21:10
Another problem from this is this quote here. It is important to all students and families
21:15
feel honored and the children hear stories that they can relate to as well as ones that are different
21:19
as this helps to build children's perspective taking and acceptance of others. Again, the word
21:25
acceptance there is another issue because in modern parlance, that is accepting of a particular
21:31
category of people and their particular worldviews, right? Another quote here, I know many of the
21:36
topics seem heavy, but you would be surprised what kids of this age are drawn to. Oh, do they seem
21:41
heavy? Do they seem heavy? I wonder how you got that idea. And the last thing here, I can assure
21:47
you that all the conversations are very G ready, G rated and appropriate winky face. Again, if
21:52
you're typing an email as a professional and you use a winky face, you know, I didn't general
21:56
have problems with that, but I just love how they're just letting you know, hey, this is very,
22:00
very G rated, you know, we're not getting into crazy issues here. But now let's get into the
22:05
attachment. Oh boy, the attachment. Okay, so I'm not going to read the entire attachment. I'm just
22:09
going to read the section in question, which is the critical literacy section. Okay, so here we go.
22:14
At least once a week, students will be read a story that reflects real world events. The topics
22:20
range from cancer, racism, injustice, suffering, bullying, poverty, or diversity from multiple
22:28
perspectives. Now, just as a quick aside here, what could possibly go wrong here? I mean,
22:34
teachers are doing well to get their all their classmates and all the people that are in the
22:38
class with them up to grade level competency. But yeah, sure, let's let them talk about racism
22:42
and injustice and diversity. Yeah, I think that's a great thing to do. Okay, we'll get back into
22:46
to the attachment here. Stories are written for children and encourage discussions of fairness
22:52
right from wrong social injustices and perspective taking. The skills encouraged through readings
22:58
and discussions allow the children to become more socially responsible, accepting and aware.
23:03
Some of the stories will fuel service learning projects. A list of some of these types of stories
23:07
is attached. Note, many of the stories are nonfiction and written based on actual events.
23:12
Please feel free to explore any of these books as your chai or with your child. Any that give
23:17
you concern, please let me know. I do encourage the children to discuss difficult topics like these
23:22
and I will not impose my views. Weird. She used the exact same language in her email,
23:26
but we'll keep going. Children are very perceptive and very eager to help be accepting of others
23:32
and show compassion more often than adults. So it is important for you to listen to their
23:36
ideas when reading these stories and pay attention to the details they notice.
23:39
Often it is something so subtle that we might have missed and not so much the big idea of the story,
23:45
which yeah, as an aside here, you see you big it. You need better. You need to be better.
23:52
I need to teach you how to be a good person and I'll do it through your kid. All right, back to
23:57
the attachment. For example, in the lemonade club, does the sound familiar students and I have read
24:02
that are very concerned about a little girl losing her hair and how the class shaves her heads to
24:06
show their compassion. They rarely even ask about cancer. They want to know how long it will take
24:11
for beautiful hair to grow back. This lends itself to discussions on why our hair is so important to
24:15
us and it what it makes us who we are. Weird. It's almost like she was planning to say that because
24:20
that was also in her email. Would they be willing to do the same for a friend who was sick? It helps
24:25
children develop perspectives and begin to think philosophically. It is social studies, humanities,
24:30
literacy and high level thinking and is essential for lifelong learning. Now let's go ahead and get
24:36
into the book list. So that's kind of the primer for the actual book list. Okay, the critical literacy
24:41
book list at Deer Creek Elementary School. Okay, now this is going to be broken down by title and
24:47
author. And then there's kind of an issue discussion. There's about 40 books on the list. So there's
24:51
the lemonade club by Patricia Palaco that talks about cancer and compassion. There's a book called
24:56
those shoes by Maribeth Bolts. It's about poverty and generosity. And then there's The Empty Pot
25:02
by Demi, which is about honesty and perseverance, which obviously, you know, perseverance is like
25:05
resilience. That's all great. There's a bunch of other books that, you know, some might be suspect,
25:10
they might not be suspect, but you know, most of these, you would actually have to buy and read
25:13
them for yourself to evaluate the content. But there was one book that stuck out like a
25:19
turn a punch bowl. It was called My Shadow Is Pink by Scott Stewart. Now Scott Stewart is an
25:26
Australian author who wrote this book for his son, Colin, who he says is trans. Okay. Now,
25:33
I was going to summarize the book for you, but I don't want to, you know, move you in one way or
25:38
the other. I'm going to actually read this book to you. Okay. It's not going to take me very long,
25:43
but just follow along and see if you notice anything. Okay. So this is My Shadow Is Pink
25:47
by Scott Stewart. My dad has a shadow that's blue as can be. And there's nothing but blue
25:53
in my whole family tree. But mine is quite different. It's not what you think. For mine is not blue,
25:59
My Shadow Is Pink. My shadow loves ponies and books and pink toys, princesses, fairies,
26:04
and things not for boys. But there's one thing it likes most I have found. It loves wearing dresses
26:10
and dancing around. It spins and it sparkles and it dwells through the air, then stops as my dad
26:15
walks in with a glare. It will turn blue one of these days. Don't worry. He says it's just a phase.
26:20
Dad's shadow is blue. It is big. It is strong. But when I stand with it, I just feel so wrong.
26:26
I wish mine was blue like all the others. I wish mine was blue like my dads and my brothers.
26:32
I'd be part of the group of that there's no doubt, but I cannot fit in when my shadow stands out.
26:37
Now things are all changing and that is not cool. I'm ready to start my first day of school.
26:42
The teacher has asked us to dress up with our shadow in its favorite thing. My heart
26:46
skips a beat as I put on a dress and I look at my dad who is anxious and stressed. He takes me to
26:52
class and I turn to say bye. His face is all worried. It's fear in his eyes. So I step in the
26:58
doorway and puff out my chest. One thing is clear. I'm not like the rest. I try to say hi, but my
27:04
voice is too quiet. The kids turn around in the room. It goes silent. I run out the door and I
27:10
push past my dad. I run to my house feeling angry and sad. If my shadow was blue, I'd be there making
27:16
friends. I'd be laughing and playing and drawing with pins. I rip off my dress and throw it on the
27:21
floor. I won't wear it again. Not ever. No more. Just then at my door came a soft little knock.
27:27
It's my dad walking in and I look up and shock. Both he and his shadow in dresses they stood
27:33
with shimmering seams and pink sparkling hoods. He speaks in a voice that's quite soft but is stern.
27:39
Pick up that dress. You must listen and learn. Your shadow is pink. I see now it's true. It's
27:46
not just a shadow. It's your inner most you. He showed me the photos of parents and brothers
27:51
and sisters and aunts and uncles and others. We've had a lot of shadows that's hidden from eyes.
27:56
Sometimes our shadow it lives in disguise. His shadow loves painting and fashion and art.
28:02
Her shadow loves engines and powerful cars. His shadow loves dance and its tones and its swirls.
28:07
Her shadow she hides in her it her shadow likes girls. His shadow loves theater and acting in plays.
28:14
Her shadow loves science and planets and space. Your shadow is you and pink it will be so stand
28:20
up with your shadow and yell this is me. And some they will love you and some they will not.
28:25
But those who do love you they'll love you a lot. So put on that dress and get back to school.
28:30
If someone won't like you then they are the fool. My heart is nearly burst and my shadow
28:35
it soared. I picked up the dress and wore it once more. We ran out the door this time holding hands.
28:40
My dad and our shadows together we stand. I stride in my class and I puff out my chest.
28:45
I may be different but different is best. I join a small group though when I don't blend
28:50
they look up and smile. Will you be our friend? Okay. So that's my shadow is pink.
28:57
Now there are a lot of stories that are out there for kids. But this one's fairly unique.
29:04
Obviously talking about transgenderism. It's not going to line there about being a lesbian
29:10
about about this woman. You know she hides in her shadow and her shadow likes girls right.
29:18
But I'm going to give you a little piece of information that I didn't give you from the
29:23
very top of the story. So the teacher in this story from Deer Creek Elementary School teaches
29:29
wait for it kindergarten kindergarten
29:42
five year olds. My shadow is pink is in a kindergarten classroom.
29:50
They are introducing to five year olds the idea that they may not be the gender that they are.
29:58
Again a five year old can you know barely write their name and make it through the school day
30:05
without crapping their pants. But let's go ahead and introduce gender identity to them. Anybody
30:13
see any problems with this? To my Deer Creek parents that are listening to this which I know
30:18
there are a lot of you. Did you know that this was going on in your elementary school
30:22
for kindergartners? Because it actually gets worse than that guys if you can believe it.
30:28
Because I actually went to the publisher's website that's Larkin House or Larrick in
30:32
house and I found the teacher's notes that come along with this book. So this is what comes with
30:37
the book to give ammunition to the teachers for what they should do to help this land even more
30:42
with the students. Okay so this is from the activities section. Draw the student's attention
30:46
to the line my shadow loves ponies and books and pink toys princesses fairies and things not for
30:51
boys. Get the class to work in small groups to create lists of activities and things that are
30:56
not for boys. Have the groups work to create lists of activities jobs things that are not for girls.
31:02
As a class go through and discuss each item. Question why they think it's not suitable for
31:07
that gender. Explore examples of how these lists are incorrect and discuss how gender
31:12
should not play a part. Okay and it gets better. Here's another one from this section.
31:17
My shadow is pink is written in rhyming verse. Have the students write a poem about their own
31:22
shadow. What they like and what makes them unique. Okay so it's interesting that they have this
31:28
activity right. Considering that they've been given the activity after the idea has been put
31:35
into their heads that they may not be the gender that they were assigned at birth.
31:39
That their shadow might be a different color. So here you are saying hey you're going to write
31:43
your own poem now. Would it be a miracle to suggest that some of those kids are going to write about
31:48
how their shadow is pink when it should be blue or vice versa. In the last thing here from this
31:53
section in small groups have the students act out the scene where the boy goes to school dressed
31:57
in a dress and gets rejected by the other students. Discuss what the other students could have done
32:02
or said to be more welcoming. Redo the scene with students responding in kind welcoming
32:08
and accepting ways. Okay so that's a tough thing to get through but I'm going to say this for a
32:16
lot of different reasons because I went through all these stories spend the time going through them
32:20
including one from my backyard because these stories communicate something and they should
32:24
be communicating a lot of things to us. Okay. The first thing is that this can happen in any
32:30
school district in the country. It doesn't matter if you're private or public, urban or rural,
32:36
metro or suburb, red state or blue state, Christian or otherwise this can happen in your school
32:43
district. I am in a state where every single county I think for the last three or four presidential
32:50
you know elections running every single county voted red. And this happened right in the middle
32:56
of the state. Another thing this should communicate to us is that your government overlords right?
33:02
They are convinced that they are better parents to your children than you are.
33:06
And you know the way that some of you act to be honest you'd think that you agreed with them.
33:12
I mean these people are on a power trip and they are convinced that you can't parent them
33:19
in a way that is most appropriate for the child. This was actually crazy. I think this came up last
33:23
week but in a recent gubernatorial debate in the state of Virginia so you've got Terry McAuliffe
33:27
who's the Democratic nominee for governor of Virginia and then you got Glenn Youngkin who's
33:31
the Republican nominee for the governor of Virginia. They had this little back and forth so this is
33:34
Youngkin the Republican he said this. What we've seen over the course of this last 20 months
33:39
is our school systems refusing to engage with parents. In fact in Fairfax County this past week
33:43
we watch parents so upset because there was such sexually explicit material in the library that
33:49
they had never seen. It was shocking. And in fact you vetoed the bill the bill that would have
33:53
informed parents that they were there. You believe school systems should tell children what to do.
33:58
I believe parents should be in charge of their kids' education. Okay so then McAuliffe kind of
34:02
responded to Youngkin and you kind of said a bunch of things but this was the important response
34:06
for the Democrat he said that he was not going to let parents come into schools and actually take
34:11
books out of the library and make their own decisions and this was the quote here. I don't think parents
34:17
should be telling schools what they should teach. That's Terry McAuliffe running for governor of
34:22
Virginia. Okay the other thing that this should communicate to us is that school boards have
34:28
operated in relative autonomy until COVID hit. Okay there was nobody that would go to school
34:34
board meetings. Nobody would ever bring up anything. Nobody would ruffle any feathers. Okay and then
34:38
COVID hit and then all of a sudden parents are paying attention. Again that's the being asleep
34:42
at the wheel thing that I talk about a lot. But these people these school boards they love power
34:46
but boy do they hate attention. They do not like attention. They do not like the fact that their
34:51
meetings are now going viral because these parents are pushing back. They don't like that at all.
34:55
Which begs the question why don't they like that? Shouldn't they want more people to know
35:01
their great ideas? If your ideas are so good and so moral wouldn't you want to spread those ideas
35:06
but they hate it? They hate the fact that there's a docket full of speakers from the community.
35:11
They don't like it and they're trying to actually get it to stop in a lot of ways. So
35:15
recently the national school board association actually sent a letter that's one of the biggest
35:19
you know school associations and you know teachers unions out there the national school boards
35:23
association. They sent a letter to Joe Biden demanding that the White House and the federal
35:28
government send federal law enforcement troops and officers to school board meetings to address
35:35
the growing number of threats of violence and acts of intimidation across the nation.
35:40
Really? Basically they don't like that people are pushing back on them verbally. So they want
35:47
to send out the troops. They want to send out police officers, federal police officers to come
35:52
in there and stop parents from speaking. So the reason why this is coming up for these school
35:58
districts it's it's it's in response to the mass mandates. It's in response to the vaccine
36:02
mandates which we're going to see a lot more of here in the coming months. I already guaranteed
36:05
you that you know the CRT critical race theory outrage and this will surely be used for sexual
36:10
and gender subjects as well. They don't want the communities talking about it. They want you to
36:14
shut up. They want you to drop your kids off pick them up seven or eight hours later and just deal
36:19
with the consequences and deal with the wreckage. They don't care. The other thing that it should
36:23
communicate to us is that our children are being used as cannon fodder in the fight to change society.
36:28
That seems a little heavy handed to say but it's true because here's the thing guys
36:32
if they can't bully you the adults into complete submission they will use your children to do it.
36:39
Or, contrastingly, they will simply bypass you entirely by influencing the next generation directly
36:46
and cutting off your ability to have direct influence over your family tree and the direction of your
36:50
family name. That's what they want to do. That they will just completely go around you. They're like,
36:55
okay, you're just going to be a stick in the mud. We're not going to be able to convince
36:58
you. We're not going to be able to shut this down your throat. So we're just going to convince
37:00
your kids while their brains are still developing and they're they're still developing overall.
37:04
That's what we're going to do. And guys, if the K through 12 system doesn't accomplish their goal
37:08
of revolution, the college and university system will finish the job. We've seen that,
37:12
right? And there's a lot of guys that I've talked to individually that say, look,
37:16
I'm not saving for my kids college anymore. I'm saving for them to open up a business or to go
37:20
into some sort of a trade school. I'm not sending them to four years of an indoctrination, right?
37:24
That's not what I'm doing, right? The other thing that this should communicate to us is that
37:28
as parents, right? It's our fault if we're asleep at the wheel when all this is going on.
37:33
It's our fault. You know, it's easy to kind of point around and look at other people because
37:37
when these materials are in your kids' schools, you can have an effect on that to a degree, right?
37:42
This also includes the fact that many of you allow the state, right? The government officials
37:48
from the state to teach your kids about sex in general by putting them in the sex ed program.
37:52
And this is this next part here is probably going to offend a lot of you, but you know, honestly,
37:56
I don't really give a crap. But this also extends out and includes giving your child
38:01
a fully unlocked smartphone when they're in elementary school or junior high,
38:06
which allows them to easily access hardcore porn whenever they want to, right? This also
38:13
includes giving them a fully unlocked personal computer and a Wi-Fi connection, which allows
38:18
them to easily access hardcore porn whenever they want to. And this includes letting them have
38:22
a television in their room with a PlayStation or an Xbox hooked up to the internet, which
38:27
allows them to easily access hardcore porn whenever they want to because it's a little rich to me
38:32
that some parents want to just eviscerate these school boards, which I'm all there with you.
38:36
I'm right there along with you. But then all their kids have access to hardcore porn everywhere
38:40
because these passages in these books, the ideas in these books are absolutely horrific and toxic
38:46
and could be deadly and in their demonic. They're all the horrible things, right? But they've got a
38:51
smartphone. They've got a television in a room, right? So when they're done playing video games
38:56
at all hours of the night, they're turning on their television, right? And all the other
39:02
channels are unlocked. They have Cinemax and Showtime and HBO. And in the middle of the night,
39:07
you know what's on those stations, softcore porn, right? And you're just, you're you want
39:13
to fight the school board. So pairs are either not wanting to fight at all, or they want to do
39:16
the big, I'm going to go to the school board and pound my chest and talk for two or three minutes
39:20
about how they're being so evil. But then in their own house, they're not doing things to protect
39:24
their children. So we need to talk about that as well. But we're going to kind of get back to
39:28
the main subject, because it all boils down to this. Everything I've talked about up to this,
39:33
to this moment and everything that I've kind of set you up with, it comes down to this.
39:36
This is about sexual grooming, the normalization of pedophilia and gender confusion.
39:44
I'll say it again. What all this boils down to is it's about sexual grooming of children,
39:50
the normalization of pedophilia and gender confusion. And to those of you saying, you know,
39:55
Kyle, you know, I've been with you all the way up to it right now, but but this is ridiculous.
40:00
I would urge you go back to episode 87 of this podcast, okay? Go back to episode 152 of this
40:05
podcast where I had to talk about pedophilia in those, in those contexts, in all the different
40:10
stories they're in. But also go back to episode 116 is called shifting the overton window.
40:14
For those of you that don't know what the overton window is, the overton window is basically
40:18
what is acceptable in common discourse as a society. And that can shift up or down over time,
40:24
you know, because, you know, a hundred years ago, gay marriage, you wouldn't even think of a thing,
40:27
but even 10 years ago, you wouldn't think about transgenderism for kids, right? But now that's
40:31
kind of in the overton window, we're allowed to talk about it, right? Think about 20 years ago,
40:35
can you imagine drag queen story hour? I was just reminded again here recently that there are places
40:41
in my community that do these drag queen story hours of these, these horrifically evil men that
40:46
dress up like women and come in and read stories to your kids. And you're so stupid that you just
40:51
drive your kids up to the library and say, yeah, this is a great idea or the restaurant or wherever
40:55
they're going, right? Just go back. If you think that that's crazy, you need to go back and listen to
41:01
those things and realize the world that you're sitting in right now. And also to those of you
41:06
that would say this, because I can already hear it now, Kyle, are you saying that all teachers are
41:10
pedophiles and sexual predators to which I would answer? Of course not. Of course not. However,
41:19
every cultural and societal revolution requires two things, two things. Number one is zealots
41:27
and number two is useful idiots. And I would say a significant number of teachers in these schools
41:35
are the latter. They are useful idiots. And I'm not saying they're dumb as a person,
41:39
but they are just allowing these things to happen. And they're allowing these things to be brought
41:44
into their classrooms and the curriculums to be taught because they've been convinced that
41:48
diversity is the best thing. And acceptance is the best thing. And we can't really push back
41:52
because that might be offensive. Okay. And gosh, I mean, the useful idiots moniker extends to
41:58
parents that are asleep at the wheel as well. Like this is absolutely true. I've already talked about
42:03
the stuff you do in your own household, but it's all these useful idiots, right? Because again,
42:08
if you can't contribute something to malice, you should contribute to ignorance. Everyone's
42:11
heard that, right? But at some point, someone is making a decision, a conscious decision to put
42:16
these materials in the classroom. And if the teachers don't stop it, if the administrators
42:22
don't stop it, if the parents don't stop it, it's not going to be stopped by the kids, right?
42:26
But one thing that I did as well to kind of give you the tools and give you access, I kind of put
42:32
together a parents beware book list. Okay, and this will be in the show notes. So you don't have to
42:36
pull over and try to write all these down. But here were just some of the most popular books that
42:40
I found in every single one of these books. These are somewhat common to be found in different schools,
42:47
right? You know, K through 12. And every single one of these books has some sort of perverse and or,
42:53
you know, disjointed or graphic sexual content. We're talking about straight gay, lesbian, bisexual,
43:00
transgender, pedophilic, rape, necrophilia, all of it. It's all in there. And so I broke up the list.
43:04
There's kind of a junior high and high school list. And then there's an elementary school list. So
43:08
you need to be on the lookout for these books. And we'll get more into kind of what we can do with
43:11
that information here in a second. So for junior high and high school kids, the book lawn boy by
43:16
Jonathan Evison that describes pedophilia and graphic gay sex. We have genderqueer, a memoir by
43:21
Maya Kobabe that describes pedophilia and graphic gay sex. We have out of darkness by Ashley Perez,
43:27
which describes rape and graphic sex. My friend Dahmer by Dirth back Dirth, which describes necrophilia,
43:34
that sex with the dead in the dream house by Carmen Maria Machado that describes BDSM and
43:39
graphic lesbian sex. So BDSM is like, you know, bondage and torture and, you know, sex toys and
43:43
all that stuff. And then we have Mondays not coming by Tiffany Jackson, which describes sexual assault
43:48
and graphic sex. So there's those are some for you to be paying attention for for middle school
43:52
and high school. But here's some for elementary school. So we have my shadow is pink by Scott Stewart,
43:56
which we already described transgenderism. Then we have I am jazz by Jessica Hurthall,
44:01
which describes transgenderism. Then we have they she he me free to be by Maya and Matthew Smith
44:08
Gonzalez. I think the guy actually hyphenates his last name what a tool. So that talks about
44:12
gender identity. Obviously, then we got Prince and night by Daniel hack, which describes being gay.
44:18
Then we have who are you the kids guy to gender identity by Brooke Pessin Webby or Webby who
44:23
freaking cares. It's about gender identity. Then we have my princess boy by Cheryl kill Davis,
44:28
which is about transgenderism. And Tango makes three by Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell,
44:33
which is about a gay family. And then neither by Arlie Anderson, which is a book that has a lot
44:38
of different themes in here as well. But guys, I want to give you those lists so you could be
44:42
aware. So if you see any of these titles pop up that you can be like, Oh, I've heard that before.
44:47
I think Kyle said that. And if it was said on this podcast, it doesn't mean it's green eggs and
44:50
ham. It's something worse than that. But guys, I want to bring all this down to kind of the what
44:55
we can actually do with this information side of things. So here are the calls to action. Okay.
44:58
So I'm going to read through this list and then we'll get into some detail here. But here's here's
45:02
what you should do. Here's your call to action. Number one, come to grips with the fact that
45:06
this could be happening at your child's school right now. Number two, contact your children's
45:11
teachers and request a comprehensive curriculum and book list for any and all content or books
45:16
that will be physically that will physically be or will be discussed in the classroom. Okay.
45:22
Number three, evaluate the teacher's reactions to your request. Number four, physically go into
45:28
the classrooms and libraries yourself to see if that list comprehensively reflects the materials
45:33
listed and present. Number five, check in with your children daily to verify the information
45:39
that they're being taught. Number six, if any of these inappropriate materials are found on the
45:44
career curriculum or book lists or in the classrooms or libraries, demand to speak with the teacher
45:49
and the principal or superintendent immediately and get an explanation. Number seven, if you
45:54
don't get a satisfactory explanation from the teacher and the principal or superintendent and
45:58
they refuse to remove the materials from school property, go to the next school board meeting
46:03
and verbally set the place on fire and demand action. Number eight, if the school board refuses
46:09
to remove the materials from the school property, remove your child from that school immediately.
46:14
And the last one here, number nine, never under any circumstances, let your child go through any
46:20
school's sexual education program, especially if you're in the public school. Okay. So let's go
46:25
back to the list and let's break it down. Number one, come to grips with the fact that this could
46:29
be happening at your child's school right now. For most of you, that's all you needed to hear.
46:33
Because you have had your head in the sand, you have had your eyes covered, your ears covered,
46:38
you don't want to see any of this potential evil. But as I just explained, why do you think I took
46:42
examples from red states from Oklahoma from Texas? Right? Why did you think I did that?
46:46
Because it can happen in your state. It can happen in your county. It doesn't matter. Red
46:50
state, blue state, I've already said this, private, public, Christian or otherwise,
46:53
these things are infiltrating the school systems. We've got to be aware. Okay. Number two,
46:58
contact your children's teachers and request a comprehensive curriculum and book list for any
47:02
and all content or books that will physically be or will be discussed in the classroom. Okay.
47:08
So yes, I mean this for K through 12. So you've got a kindergarten even, maybe even a preschooler,
47:14
right? All the way through your 18 year old senior in high school, you've got to get a
47:18
comprehensive list. Okay. And then we get into number three, evaluate the teacher's reactions
47:23
to your request. Because if they push back, they're not pushing back for a good and moral reason
47:29
to a degree they're offended. Is it perhaps because they're hiding something from you?
47:37
Because they know because they're, they're woke and they're progressive and they understand
47:41
things and they're better at this and you are. And this is what they do for a living.
47:43
They don't need some lowly parent pushing back and checking in on them and what they're doing.
47:48
Have you heard all the stories about these teachers that have parents that have kind of
47:51
been listening in on the zoom meetings whenever we were doing zoom calls with COVID and all that
47:55
kind of stuff with the classrooms and their kids, you know, their seven year old is on a zoom call
47:59
for eight hours a day. And then the parents are just kind of listening to being like,
48:02
wait a minute, what? What are you saying to my kid? What is this assignment? And all of a sudden,
48:08
all the parents woke up just like that. But the thing is, is if they push back at all,
48:13
I can guarantee you that they're hiding something because they should, the answer should be, you say,
48:20
hey, I would like a comprehensive list of everything that's going to be in the classroom and all the
48:23
curriculum, they should say, okay, I'll send that right over. That should be that is the only
48:28
acceptable response. Hey, you work for me. You're the kids teacher. You're paid by the state tax
48:33
dollars. I pay tax dollars. You work for me. Send me the curriculum. And if they don't do it,
48:38
big problems. Okay. So number four, you need to physically go into the classroom and libraries
48:43
yourself to see if that list that you are given comprehensively reflects the materials listed.
48:50
Because guys, if they're going to nefariously put these things in the classroom, wouldn't you
48:54
think that they would try to hide it, not even include it in their list? And when they get called
48:58
out on it, be like, Oh, must be an oversight, right? And guys, I don't care if you have to get
49:02
mission impossible with it. If you need a secret, you go in and secret and secretively go into
49:07
these classrooms and libraries to evaluate these things for yourself, freaking do it, do it. Okay,
49:12
because the evil schools or the teachers or the administrators, not obviously not all of them,
49:16
they're banking on the fact that you won't do any of this, by the way. We're only on number four,
49:22
right? They're banking on the fact that you won't do this, right? Especially if they have
49:27
nefarious things in mind. They're assuming that you're just going to keep your head in the sand.
49:31
And again, they've always got the, Oh, it must have been an oversight. Oh, this person was supposed
49:35
to put on the list and they didn't put it on the list. Oh my gosh, we'll make the correction
49:38
immediately. But these schools are being forced to take these books out of the classrooms,
49:43
out of the libraries. They're not doing it voluntarily. Okay. Then we have number five,
49:47
check in with your children daily to verify the information that they're being taught.
49:51
So this is just general good practice. And it goes beyond how is school today?
49:55
Do you learn anything good? It goes beyond that because they're bringing their books home for the
50:01
most part, unless they're being, you know, the teachers are being taught not to do that. Well,
50:04
like that school district in north of Austin. But again, this is beyond the trust, but verify stage,
50:10
right? I say that you shouldn't trust these teachers and these administrators at all.
50:14
Screw trust, but verify, right? You need to know exactly what they're reading. Open up their
50:20
textbooks. If they're reading a book for class, open it up, read it yourself. I'm assuming this
50:25
is at a reading level that you can do, right? You're listening to this podcast and you understand
50:29
what I'm saying. You can understand the kids book. You need to be checking in on a daily basis.
50:34
Number six, if any of these inappropriate materials are found on the curriculum or book list or any
50:38
of the classrooms or libraries, demand to speak with the teacher and the principal or superintendent
50:44
immediately to get an explanation. Okay. And this is the thing that I would suggest for you to do.
50:49
Again, if they push back, keep pushing, right? Don't let them be like, Oh, well, they're out of town
50:53
and they've got meetings. They got this. Go sit in the main office and say, I will be here until I get
50:58
a meeting with the principal. It's shocking how well that works, right? Don't be rude. Don't be
51:04
a jerk. Just be forceful. Okay. And here's the other thing. I would highly, highly suggest that
51:10
if you get that meeting, which you should, you're entitled to that meeting that you record it.
51:15
So I've got an iPad and I've got a program on there. So when I'm at a sermon or I'm at some sort of
51:19
speech, I can record it as I'm writing my notes and it's great. I can go back and listen to it later.
51:23
It's awesome. But you also have voice memos on your phone. And but but you do have to be careful
51:28
about what state you live in. So I live in Oklahoma, which is a single party consent state. So I can,
51:32
you know, be a coffee with somebody and be recording the conversation without their
51:35
knowledge. And they can't sue me, right? So but guys, look at your state's laws. It won't take you
51:39
30 seconds or 60 seconds to figure out what the recording laws are. And if it's legal, you should
51:44
record it. And let's say you live in a state where they need, you know, both parties to consent to
51:48
being recorded. From the moment you sit down, you say, I'm recording everything that you're
51:52
going to say in this meeting. Don't worry about it. And then just hit record and set it down.
51:55
You don't need to have a big long discussion about it. Just start recording. Okay, number seven.
51:59
If you don't get a satisfactory, satisfactory explanation from the teacher and the principal
52:04
or superintendent, and they refuse to remove these inappropriate materials from the school
52:08
property, go to the next school board meeting, verbally set the place on fire and demand action.
52:14
Again, do what Stacy Langton did. Do what these other parents are doing. You can't let this go
52:19
on silently. You can't just text a few other parents in the class. You can't just talk to your
52:25
pastor about it. You can't just talk to your Sunday school. You've got to make this a big deal,
52:30
right? Because it is a big deal. And that doesn't mean going there and just hooting holler. There's
52:36
something to be said for again, go back to the video with Stacy Langton. She was very forceful in
52:40
her language, but very controlled until they started interrupting her. That's when she raised
52:46
her voice. That went. That's when she took everything that she was doing in her account. It's elevated
52:50
and you could feel the blood boiling inside of her body. But she didn't start there. I would give
52:56
you that advice if I were training you, you on this is like, if you just go in there, start screaming
53:00
and hooting and hollering, they can very easily tune you out. Okay, elevate your voice and elevate
53:05
your point when you're making your point. Okay, then we've got number eight. If the school board
53:08
refuses to remove the materials from school property, remove your child from that school
53:14
immediately. Remove them immediately. Okay, now you might be in a school district that doesn't allow
53:21
for this kind of vile filth to be in the classroom. Okay. And if you get all the way to this step,
53:27
you are in the one that allows for that, right? Because you're not even going to get to this step
53:32
unless you're in one of those horrible school districts that allows this. But in fact, every
53:36
single Christian listening to this, every conservative even should at least seriously consider taking
53:41
your children out of public schools, which is easy for me to say, because my kids aren't in school,
53:45
yeah, right? My son and, you know, my other son on the way, right? Now, I know what some of you
53:49
are thinking right now. As well, it wasn't a big deal when I was in school. You know, what's all
53:55
the fuss about? I've heard that a lot like, you know, I'm sure some of this stuff was going on
53:59
when I was a kid, but you know, what's all the fuss about? But guys, it's not like that anymore.
54:04
It's not like it was when you were in school. It's just not
54:07
everything is political now, everything, right? Everything in the culture war
54:14
now involves your kids. The cultural revolution is flying by. It is taking off at breakneck speed.
54:23
Okay. And your kids are just collateral damage, right? And just look how quickly society has shifted
54:30
and subsequently deteriorated during this amount of time, right? Again, just think about what was
54:36
absolutely unmentionable five years ago. Now it's common. That's the Overton window.
54:40
And again, I know that some of you are going to say that you just don't have the means by which to
54:45
make that happen, taking your kid out of the school, right? And to that, I would say I understand
54:51
where you're coming from, but I would ask you two questions. The first is, what is your child's
54:57
mind worth? And the second is, what is your child's fundamental worldview worth?
55:02
Because that's what's being shaped in that school, the schools that allow this filth
55:10
in their classrooms and libraries. What's that worth? Is it worth you or your spouse quitting
55:18
their jobs to stay home and do homeschool? Perhaps perhaps it is. Is it worth having to invest more
55:24
to put them in a private school that you get guaranteed assurances that don't allow those
55:29
things in addition to critical race theory, any of that other nonsense? Is that worth it?
55:33
I can't answer that question for you. But I think the answer is fairly obvious.
55:39
And here's the other thing is, again, if you literally can't do any of those things,
55:44
homeschool or private school, or, you know, there's no money for that. Like, I get it.
55:48
You have to work your way all the way through this list. You have to be on top of it. Your kids
55:52
are worth it. And again, the last thing here is never under any circumstances, let your child go
55:57
through any schools, sex ed curriculum, especially if you're in the public schools. One thing that
56:02
you might not be shocked by, but you know, I wasn't, but maybe you will be, is that Planned
56:07
Parenthood in several states across the country, hundreds of school districts, they're the ones
56:12
that put together a lot of the curriculum for sex ed programs. Is that shocking to you?
56:20
Because Planned Parenthood wants to make sure at an early age that you understand that abortion
56:25
is basically like birth control. It's just like an expensive condom, right? A lot bloodier,
56:31
right? But it's, it's birth control nonetheless. But then also we've gotten stories I should have
56:37
included one in the show notes. Maybe I can do that later. But we have these school districts
56:41
that are in the sex ed program. They're showing these kids how to do sex acts.
56:48
They're, they're having these kids act out sex acts as part of the sexual education program.
56:52
That's happening potentially in your school district. Why in the world would you allow the
57:00
state to teach you about, to teach your kids about sex? Again, if you're, if you're a conservative
57:07
Christian, you know, family minded person, how could you possibly do that?
57:11
And there are certain school districts that are not a, not allowing parents to opt out of sex ed.
57:18
I've definitely heard that in California. The state that basically they, they guaranteed
57:23
across the board think they're better at this whole parenting thing than you are. Because they
57:28
need to, they need to crank out some zealots for their left wing worldview. And how do they do that?
57:32
They start forcing it down their throats by the age of five. So by the time the kids 18,
57:36
they're helpless. They're gonna have to have a major, you know, road to Damascus conversion
57:41
before they get out of that, right? But guys, I want to kind of circle back to what we talked
57:45
about the very beginning of the podcast. And I was proverbs 22 six, train up a child in the way
57:50
he should go. Even when he is old, he will not depart from it. So guys, listen to me.
57:54
Your kids school, especially if they're in the government run public schools, are being trained up
58:02
in the way they should go. That direction is in, it's in the direction of the normalization
58:10
of sexual and gender perversion. Will you stand in the gap? Will you stand in the gap between these
58:19
evil forces and your child? The answer is either yes or no. I feel like I've done in the hour
58:25
that we've spent together today. I feel like I've given you all the tools necessary to at least
58:29
kick off your journey. If you choose not to go on it, then I can't help you. All right, guys,
58:34
before we let you go, we are going to do a quick resilience boost at undaunted life. Our mission
58:38
is equipping men to push back darkness with content that forge a spiritual mental and physical
58:42
resilience. And so without me listening, all these basically any YouTube video that I referred to

58:51
that's in the show notes. I've got, you know, a person reading that book. So if you didn't like,
58:55
you know, the way that I read my shadow is pink, I've got a YouTube video so you can listen to it
58:59
there. You can share that around to different people to be like, Hey, this is what actually
59:02
is in that book. If you don't want to share around the show, which you should definitely do.
59:05
But also the teacher's notes for my shadow is pink. I've got a PDF for you. It's all in there.
