Feminist Current: Carol Dansereau on gender identity in schools

While kids once would (perhaps awkwardly) learn about the birds and the bees in school, sex ed has changed suddenly and rapidly, without consultation with parents or consideration for the impact on kids. Today, students are no longer learning about sex, but about gender and gender identity. Many are concerned about the impact this will have on kids and their understanding of their bodies, sex, reproduction, and sexual orientation, as well as on their developing minds. One of those people is Carol Dansereau — a parent and grandparent who worked for nonprofit environmental organizations for over 25 years as an attorney, organizer, and nonprofit director. She started digging into these new curriculums in Seattle, and was disturbed by what she found, leading her to produce a number of videos outlining what is being taught to kids in schools across the US, under the guise of "inclusion." In this episode, Meghan Murphy speaks with her about what she discovered, why we should be concerned, and what we can do about it.
