Elementary school taps Planned Parenthood to teach gender, sex lessons in Olympia

Part of the curriculum was the "gender wheel" which enables children to choose pronouns, body types, and genders including "trans femme" "drag king," "agender person," "girlish boy," "boi grrl."

Fourth and fifth-grade students at Lincoln Elementary in Washington State's Olympia School District were taught graphic sex-ed curriculum by Planned Parenthood, which included depictions of vaginas and penises, as well as intersex private parts.

Brandi Kruse of the unDivided podcast obtained the material that was given to students on May 9 from a parent in the district. According to one of the pamphlets, “Bodies can look all sorts of ways!” and “It’s okay if you don’t look like one of these photos! It’s impossible to represent everyone in just a few photos. Every body is a good body.”

Some of the drawings included pubic hair shaped like animals.

Included in the pamphlet are images of items children might need once they hit puberty, including tampons, razors, deodorant, and puberty blockers.

Part of the curriculum was the “gender wheel” which enables children to choose pronouns, body types, and genders including “intersex,” "trans femme,” “drag king,” “agender person,” “girlish boy,” “boi grrl,” “nonbinary” and pronouns such as “they,” “ze” and even “tree.”

According to the pamphlet, “The wheel is alive. All of the circles turn to show the infinite dance that includes every body inside and outside, as well as out in the world. Words and ways of thinking are changing all the time as old, limiting beliefs transform and evolve.”

The material was created by Maya Gonzalez, a “Xicanx genderqueer femme with three decades of experience as an independent researcher with a specific focus on LGBTQ and suppressed history.”

According to unDivided, parents were notified that the lessons would be taking place but the content had not been approved or shared with families in advance.

When confronted by parents, Lincoln Elementary Principal Marcela Abadi claimed the material was not part of the school’s approved curriculum and wrote in an email obtained by Kruse, “We are investigating the matter and working with staff to get more information to determine next steps. If you have any questions, please reach out to me.”

According to additional emails obtained by unDivided between parents and the district, the instructor was not a teacher but was in fact a speaker from an outside organization called the Teen Council, which is part of Planned Parenthood.

The principal said the Planned Parenthood presenter “went off script” and would not be invited back to speak.

Draconian: South Australia just topped NSW, Tas, Victoria, Queensland with new laws penalising peaceful protesters

A bill introducing harsh penalties and extending the scope of a law applying to those who obstruct public places has been passed after an all-night sitting by the South Australian Legislative Council this week.

South Australia now joins New South Wales, Tasmania, Victoria and Queensland, states which have already passed anti-protest laws imposing severe penalties on people who engage in peaceful civil disobedience. South Australia’s new law carries the harshest financial penalties in Australia.

Thirteen Upper House Labor and Liberal MPs voted for the Bill, opposed by two Greens MPs and two SABest MPs. The government faced down the cross bench moves to hold an inquiry into the bill, to review it in a year or add a defence of ‘reasonableness’.

The Summary Offences (Obstruction of Public Places) Amendment Bill 2023 was introduced into the House Assembly by Premier Peter Malinauskas the day after Extinction Rebellion protests were staged around the Australian Petroleum and Exploration Association (APPEA) annual conference on May 17. The most dramatic of these protests was staged by 69 year old Meme Thorne who abseiled off a city bridge causing delays and traffic to be diverted.

Meanwhile the gas lobby APPEA which is financed by foreign fossil fuel companies has stopped publishing its (public) financial statements. Questions put for this story were ignored but we will append a response should one be available.

The APPEA conference is a major gathering of oil and gas companies that was bound to attract protests. Its membership covers 95% of Australia’s oil and gas industry and many other companies who supply goods and services to fossil fuel industries. The principal sponsors of this year’s conference were corporate giants Exxon-Mobil and Woodside.

Since March, Extinction Rebellion South Australia has been openly planning protests to draw attention to scientific evidence showing that any expansion of fossil fuel industries risks massive global disruption and millions of deaths.

The new laws will not apply to those arrested last week, several of whom have already been sentenced under existing laws. In fact, when the SA Attorney General Kyam Maher was asked about the protests on May 17 shortly after the abseiling incident, he told the Upper House that “there are substantial penalties for doing things that can impede or restrict things like emergency services. I know that (police) .. have in the past and will continue to do, enforce the laws that we have.”

Sensing that something was in the wind, he said he would be open to suggestions from the Opposition.

US Sent Billions in Funding to China, Russia For Cat Experiments, Wuhan Lab Research: Ernst

Hundreds of millions of U.S. tax dollars went to recipients in China and Russia in recent years without being properly tracked by the federal government, including a grant that enabled a state-run Russian lab to test cats on treadmills, according to Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa).

Ernst and her staff investigators, working with auditors at the Government Accountability Office (GAO) and the Congressional Research Service, as well as two nonprofit Washington watchdogs—Open The Books (OTB) and the White Coat Waste Project (WCWP)—discovered dozens of other grants that weren’t counted on the federal government’s USASpending.gov internet database.

While the total value of the uncounted grants found by the Ernst team is $1.3 billion, that amount is just the tip of the iceberg, the GAO reported.

Among the newly discovered grants is $4.2 million to China’s infamous Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) “to conduct dangerous experiments on bat coronaviruses and transgenic mice,” according to a May 31 Ernst statement provided to The Epoch Times.

The $4.2 million exposed by Ernst is in addition to previously reported funding to the WIV for extensive gain-of-function research by Chinese scientists, much of it funded in whole or part prior to the COVID-19 pandemic by National Institutes for Health (NIH) grants channeled through the EcoHealth Alliance medical research nonprofit.

The NIH has awarded seven grants totaling more than $4.1 million to EcoHealth to study various aspects of SARS, MERS, and other coronavirus diseases.

Buying Chinese Puppy Parts

As part of another U.S.-funded grant, hearts and other organs from 425 dogs in China were purchased for medical research.

“These countryside dogs in China are part of the farmer’s household; they were mainly used for guarding. Their diet includes boiled rice, discarded raw food animal tissues, and whatever dogs can forage. These dogs were sold for food,” an NIH study uncovered by the Ernst researchers reads.

Other previously unreported grants exposed by the Ernst team include $1.6 million to Chinese companies from the federal government’s National School Lunch Program and $4.7 million for health insurance from a Russian company that was sanctioned by the United States in 2022 as a result of the invasion of Ukraine.

“It’s gravely concerning that Washington’s reckless spending has reached the point where nobody really knows where all tax dollars are going,” Ernst separately told The Epoch Times. “But I have the receipts, and I’m shining a light on this, so bureaucrats can no longer cover up their tracks, and taxpayers can know exactly what their hard-earned dollars are funding.”

The problem is that federal officials don’t rigorously track sub-awards made by initial grant recipients, according to the Iowa Republican. Such sub-awards are covered by a multitude of federal regulations that stipulate many conditions to ensure that the tax dollars are appropriately spent.

The GAO said in an April report that “limitations in sub-award data is a government-wide issue and not unique to U.S. funding to entities in China.”

“GAO is currently examining the state of federal government-wide sub-award data as part of a separate review,” the report reads.

What about THE KAHAL OF THE CAHILLA?

The Source Of The Marxist Takeover Of American Institutions Is So Obvious It Hurts

It is impossible to deny how far left all of America’s institutions have shifted in the past few years. Corporate board rooms, the media, sports teams and even the military all chant the same dogma and insist that you comply.

How did that happen? As Ernest Hemingway wrote on how one goes bankrupt, “gradually, then suddenly.” Indeed, our leading institutions face a moral bankruptcy unprecedented in American history.

This could not have happened without the left’s successful “long march through the institutions.” This term, made famous by radical academics in the 1960s, refers to the strategy used by “New Left” students of that era. They aimed to achieve long-term social and and political change by infiltrating and subverting key institutions, particularly the elite universities they often attended.

These radicals were the progenitors of the critical theories that plague our offices and our children’s schools today. They knew these ideas could never be sold democratically to the American public, so they instead sought to disrupt disciplines — sociology, anthropology, philosophy, and cultural studies — that were more amenable to their critical perspectives.

Through their research, teaching, and activism, they eventually came to dominate entire departments or even university leadership. This power was then used to launder their ideology to a new generation of students who would unquestioningly carry it with them into the “real world.”

A new Harvard survey on faculty political leanings reveals that the left’s long march was more successful than they likely ever dreamed. A whopping 75% of Harvard faculty identifies as “liberal” or “very liberal,” while only 2.5% identifies as conservative. A minuscule 0.4 percent identifies as “very conservative.”

As law professor Jonathon Turley points out, these figures massively overrepresent liberals compared to society overall. Roughly equal portions of Americans identify as conservative or moderate, while only 26% identify as liberal. More Harvard faculty identify as “very liberal” (32%) than Americans overall identify as “liberal.”

The figure is representative across large swathes of American academia. In 1969, one in four college professors was at least moderately conservative. Now, liberals outweigh conservatives on campus by roughly 12 to one.

Yet Harvard’s stark disparity stands out more than the rest because it is the best that American education has to offer — or at least it used to be.

Nevertheless, its name is still intrinsically associated with excellence and prestige that few other universities are accorded. If you are a Harvard graduate, you are likely to impact the highest levels of American power in whichever field you choose to pursue.

That is precisely the point. By capturing the Harvard banner, radical activists then got to decide what constituted excellence and prestige. Their radical ideologies gained the legitimacy associated with the Harvard name and serve as an example for lesser universities to follow. Molded by these new definitions, Harvard graduates carry them out to the world where they shape the halls of power in business, government, and media.

Harvard boasts the most alumni who later became CEOs of Fortune 500 companies. With 41 alumni CEOs, Harvard dwarfs the nearest runner up, the University of Pennsylvania, by almost double.

School superintendent sent inappropriate videos of himself from work to what he thought was a 15-year-old, Texas police say

A Texas school superintendent was arrested for allegedly soliciting sex from one he believed to be a 15-year-old, according to police.

47-year-old Michael Stevens was arrested on the campus of the Itasca Independent School District on Thursday. He was charged with online solicitation of a minor after police said he was caught in an online predator sting sending inappropriate photos and asking for inappropriate photos from the online person.

Stevens, who is a former coach and a former principal, was allegedly planning a trip to Houston in order to have sex with the 15-year-old girl.

That girl turned out to be an undercover officer.

He also allegedly solicited another undercover officer who was pretending to be a 16-year-old girl in May.

Prosecutors provided numerous examples of explicit messages that Stevens is accused of sending to whom he thought was a minor.

Stevens allegedly told the girl during school hours to leave class to send him explicit photos, saying, "You have to take pictures for daddy, go into a stall and take pictures."

In another message, he promised to meet her in order to have sex, according to prosecutors.

"Yes can’t wait till we meet but surely you know that I’m truly committed to eventually meeting up with you, those other ones were just talking — I’m a different guy," he allegedly wrote.

He also reportedly said he would divorce his wife in order to marry the girl's mother so that he could have access to the daughter for sex.

"He was actually videotaping himself at his job, at his place of work. He apparently got very comfortable with what he was doing," said Precinct One Constable Alan Rosen.

Stevens made an appearance at a court hearing Friday during which a judge gave him a bond of $100,000. If he posts bond, he will be required to install software on his computer to monitor his online activity, submit to random drug testing, and avoid all contact with anyone under 17 years old.

Police are asking parents in the district to contact them if they believe their children might have been inappropriately assaulted by Stevens.

In addition to Stevens, the police sting nabbed six other men on similar charges.
