The full picture

American children are learning a lot about sex, "gender," and sexuality in their schools. District administrators, teachers, and even librarians are obsessed with pushing inappropriate topics onto kids, all in the name of fostering "inclusion." Children today learn that they were "assigned a sex at birth" and can change their sex or "gender" at will. Kids are no longer learning to read, write, or do math, but they are learning how to be "radical gender" activists. Meanwhile, school districts keep parents in the dark, hiding critical information about the health and well-being of their children from them.

Millions of American children now attend schools that practice Culturally Relevant Pedagogy (CRP), Critical Race Theory (CRT), Queer Theory (QT), Restorative Justice (RJ), and Transformative Social and Emotional Learning (TSEL).

We're told "It's not in schools," but the people who have developed these Marxist theories of culture, race, sex, "gender," discipline, and psychology can't stop writing about their revolutionary intentions. They want your children to develop a radical political consciousness. They are inspiring kids to disrupt and dismantle America. The evidence is overwhelming.

This website was developed as a tool to help you understand what these theories are, where they come from, andhow they show up in your child's classroom.

It is01

"It" is Critical Pedagogy.

Critical Pedagogy is a marxist teaching method inspired by Brazilian marxist Paulo Freire. The purpose of Critical Pedagogy is to develop a "critical consciousness" (marxist political consciousness) in children. That is to say, the purpose is to radicalize children and coerce them to become activists charged with dismantling America.

It is02

"It" is Critical Race Theory and Queer Theory

For 40 years, activists have incorporated marxist theories of culture, race, sex, and "gender" into their political teaching methods. Each of these marxist political projects is used to analyze different dimensions of a child's identity to inspire political action and revolution.

The goal is to incorporate discussions of culture, race, sex, and "gender" into every aspect of a child's education. If you want to understand what's happening in schools you must understand what these marxist political projects are and where they come from.

It is03

"It" is both Theory and Practice (Praxis)

They don't just teach these theories in schools. They practice them.

If racializing and sexualizing children wasn't enough, the activists who practice marxist theories of culture, race, sex, and "gender" also work to re-engineer social outcomes with equity. Activists disrupt and dismantle traditional school and classroom practices, attempting to force all students to achieve the same outcomes (socialism).

  • de-tracking classes
  • eliminating gifted and talented programs
  • overhauling course curriculum
  • eliminating late homework policies
  • eliminating standard A-F grading practices
  • demonizing standardized tests
  • imposing minimum grading scores so no student can fail
  • removing parents from decision making processes
  • hiding information from parents
  • Limiting or eliminating detentions, suspensions, and expulsions

Which is to say —"It" is cultural revolution.
