When my kids were in elementary school, they were constantly being asked to be the targets of some weird psychological experiment. Luckily, at least back then, we’d get a notice asking our permission for our kids to be guinea pigs. I always said no because you could see the agenda-pushing in the description of the “experiment.”

But it wasn’t just in-class experiments that were a problem. Many schools hire contractors to run their after-school care, and many of these contractors are there to push social-justice agendas. Since both my wife and I work, I just told my kids that most of what these multicultural groups tried to tell them in after-school care was bunk and to just ignore it. This being Durham, most of it was that the white man was the font of all evil in the world.

Now, it seems, the don’t even ask permission to indoctrinate your kids and try to underminde everything you are trying to teach them as their parents:

Parents at Hardy Middle School in the affluent Glover Park neighborhood in Washington, DC were shocked to discover that a sex-and-drug-use survey had been distributed to 12-year-olds in their physical education classes without any warnings or consent forms sent to parents.

It gets worse:

The mindset of these popsicle psychiatrists was evident right off the bat. The very first question was “What is your gender?” Two possibilities, you think? Try four boxes: Male and female, plus – “transgender (M to F)” and “transgender (F to M).” This was handed out to 12-year-olds.

They also asked how often they’d used drugs like heroin and cocaine. 12-year-olds! Should it be a surprise that lefty academics think 12-year-olds might already be hopped up on meth or cocaine or be thinking of a sex change? Doesn’t surprise me.

No wonder homeschooling and private schooling is a growth industry.
