Step 12 of The Global Walkout
Curriculum awareness week
Step 12 of The Global Walkout is a vital one for parents, grandparents and anyone else who is caring for children:
Find out what they’re teaching your kids!
Book an appointment with your child or children’s teachers or principal, and ask them which books are on the curriculum, and what kind of sexual education content they teach. Read these books yourself (or at the very least, read summaries or reviews online) and ask to see examples of sex education teaching materials.
The Step 12 page has a template letter that you can download, edit, and present to your child’s school to indicate non-consent to any sex education material that conflicts with your beliefs, or that you - as the person in who is most invested in your child’s well-being - judge to be inappropriate or harmful to them.

Better yet, check out home education options! You can start by watching the roundtable on critical thinking skills that I did with Homeschooling Australia:
I suppose someone should put up a couple of Sir Ken Robinson's videos about education. What makes them so entertainingly watchable is that he's a very funny guy.

And on a more serious note, I suppose a couple of videos by Helen Joyce on the Trans phenomenon are warranted. She's smart and communicates clearly, so she's also well worth hearing if you don't know of her. The first two are short twelve-minute videos, followed by a longer fifty minute one. There's also an even longer, interview with Jordan Peterson, which I haven't seen, so I haven't posted it, but you can find it on youtube. You can also search Helen Joyce for more videos

People who are interested in homeschooling may be either pleased or alarmed to know that Bertrand Russell, the distinguished English philosopher, born 1872, was homeschooled, and that his grandmother took him to church every Sunday until the end of his teenage years, but he still turned out to be an atheist and free lover.
