A public school district in Seattle is replacing established biological science with woke ideology in regard to how humans reproduce.
Amid a financial crisis brought on by declining student enrollments, Washington state’s largest school district has replaced terms like “male” and “female” with “person with a vagina” and “person with sperm” in its sexual health education curriculum for elementary school students, Fox News reported.
According to training materials obtained by Fox News Digital through a public records request, Seattle Public Schools (SPS) will introduce sexual health education to students as young as nine years old on April 24. As per an SPS presentation for elementary school educators, the curriculum is designed to combat “gender stereotypes” and “heteronormativity” by challenging the notion that heterosexuality is the norm. The presentation outlines the objectives for the 2022-2023 school year.
The training materials indicate that “actively dismantling toxic masculinity” is a fundamental component of the school district’s sexual health education approach.
The “Family Life and Sexual Health” (FLASH) curriculum, created by the Public Health Department of Seattle and King County, is being used by SPS. The district is urging educators to employ “inclusive language” and be at ease with the use of “they/them” pronouns in most circumstances, Fox News Digital continued.
The lessons for fourth-grade students feature abundant gender-neutral language when it comes to describing male and female anatomy, pregnancy, and the reproductive system. For example, fourth-graders are informed that “vaginal sex is a common way for people to become pregnant,” and that “babies with a penis are born with a sleeve of skin around the penis called the foreskin.”
Fourth-grade students in SPS are taught that there are more than two genders, with the curriculum frequently using the phrase “all genders” to refer to individuals. They are also educated about the anatomy of a “person’s uterus” and how a “person ovulates,” the outlet’s report continued.
“Sometimes people get pregnant without having vaginal sex,” a fourth-grade lesson on the reproductive system says, the outlet reported. “Sometimes egg and sperm cells meet in a laboratory, where the egg is fertilized, and then a doctor puts the fertilized egg in a person’s uterus to implant and begin a pregnancy.”
Additionally, the curriculum delves into the topic of hormone treatments and puberty blockers as a means of treatment for transgender individuals.
“Some people decide, with the help of their doctor, to take medicine or hormones to change puberty on purpose to better match their gender,” a fourth-grade lesson on puberty states. “They might take medicine that interferes with hormones so puberty changes don’t happen at all. Or, they might take medicine made of hormones so that they have specific changes.”
“People of all genders experience very similar changes during puberty, including cisgender, transgender, and nonbinary people, and those who don’t identify with any gender,” another lesson for students in the same grade says.
The curriculum was developed in response to a Washington state law enacted in 2020 that mandated all public schools to furnish all students with comprehensive sexual health education by the 2022-2023 school year.
Fourth-grade students were also educated about the Black Lives Matter movement on January 30th. Furthermore, many schools in the district commemorated the union-supported Black Lives Matter at Schools Week of Action (BLMSWA) last month, Fox News Digital reported.
