Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the wife of Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom, founded The Representation Project nonprofit to fight "sexism through films education, research and activism." Siebel Newsom writes and directs "gender identity" films produced through her for-profit operation, Girls Club Entertainment, that are then licensed by the nonprofit to public schools.
The films, which include "Miss Representation," "The Mask You Live In," "The Great American Lie" and "Fair Play," are licensed to taxpayer-funded schools across every state and sometimes contain sexually explicit imagery and push students to feel "shame and sorrow" about American society split by privilege and oppression. They are paired with curricula that include discussion on Gov. Newsom's comments within the films, urging them to gather their friends and vote for aligned politicians that support a "care economy" that "embraces universal human values."
"The Representation Project's films and school curricula deserve scrutiny because taxpayers fund schools that license them," said Open The Books founder Adam Andrzejewski, whose watchdog group discovered the materials and shared them with Fox News Digital.
"Newsom's films and curricula are saturated with images lifted directly from pornographic websites, their URLs visible onscreen," Andrzejewski added. "Minors are exposed to social commentaries about privilege and oppression, and one commentator says Americans need to 'express shame and sorrow about who we are and what we've done' as a society."
"When paired with calls to organize and spread the films more widely, it's clear that Siebel Newsom seeks to activate students politically and in accordance with some radical ideologies about gender, identity, race and privilege," Andrzejewski said.
Siebel Newsom's films promote far-left notions of gender and sexuality and, at points, contain sexually explicit images. The content has led to objections from at least one parent.
In 2019, a California resident filed a complaint after his 12-year-old daughter's class at Creekside Middle School showed "The Mask You Live In," which "follows boys and young men as they struggle to stay true to themselves while negotiating America's narrow definition of masculinity." It included sexually explicit images and violence against women in a portion of the movie dealing with Internet pornography.
"Some of the images, when slowed down, were not blurred, and even when they are blurred, it is obvious what is going on," the father told The Sacramento Bee. "It is absolutely profane and disgusting."
The school later found that the teacher had accidentally played the film's full version for the class, not the edited version meant for younger children.
Additionally, Siebel Newsom's films and the Representation Project's lesson plans heavily push gender identity. In the curriculum that comes with "The Mask You Live In," a "genderbread person" is introduced, which shows middle and high school students how biological sex, "gender expression," "sexual attraction" and "gender identity" exist on a spectrum and can be mixed and matched.
Kindergartners do not receive the "genderbread person" material, but similar "gender identity" lessons are offered, which include gender introductions beyond "boy" and "girl."
In the curriculum for "The Great American Lie,"which "examines the roots of systemic inequalities through a unique gender lens," students are asked to do a "privilege walk" that includes revealing personal information to compare themselves to peers inside and outside the classroom. The "privileges" include being "a cisgender man," "white," "born in the United States," "straight" and speaking English as a first language.…
