A K-12 education consultant and public speaker recently exposed numerous resources provided for teachers to groom their students into the LGBTQ+ agenda.
Deb Fillman, an advocate for keeping the government out of schools and an education consultant, exposed the “resources” in a Twitter thread.
The resources included guides such as “Creating Safer Spaces for LGBTQ Youth: a Toolkit for Education, Healthcare, and Community-Based Organizations,” as well as “Queer & Now Pride Month Toolkit.”
“Wondering what teachers are given to ‘help’ them ‘teach’ during Pride month?” Fillman tweeted on July 10, along with screenshots of the resources. “May I suggest you immediately start following the accounts they list as ‘resources’ so you won’t be blindsided by the BS your child’s teachers/schools/peers and even your CHILD will be soon spouting (if they aren’t already).”
In an interview with CatholicVote, she said that the problem goes deeper than just one company providing resources to schools—the issue also lies in the school system.
According to Fillman, GLSEN (the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network) is one of the primary distributors of “teacher resources,” while even national organizations like NAIS (National Association of Independent Schools) are teaching educators how to indoctrinate children with the LGBTQ+ agenda.
Fillman also said that Advocates for Youth and the Trevor Project are among the most active groups in distributing resources to teachers for their classrooms.
“The NEA [National Education Association] is also all over this, pushing teachers to take classes like these for professional development credit, and NAIS—the most prestigious and largest private school accreditation group—is even pushier,” Fillman told CatholicVote.
“You have to remember that certified teachers are incentivized to take PD [professional development] courses to keep their certifications current and/or to meet “equity” goals,” Fillman said. “Their jobs depend on these things, and as I said, even in private schools, there are incentives—pressure—to show up.”
The problem extends to the classroom, said Fillman.
“Even if [the teachers] weren’t taking training, they have to put together ‘equitable’ and ‘inclusive’ lesson plans, and have their classrooms evaluated for ‘inclusion’ and ‘diversity’ visuals, so up go the flags and posters, and books,” Fillman continued.
“If you see ‘inclusive’ or ‘belonging’ on a school’s website, you can count on this stuff being in most, if not all, classrooms, all the way down to kindergarten.”
If teachers don’t implement the politically loaded materials, they will “be considered hostile and ‘not fostering inclusion and belonging in their classrooms,” she said.
To protect children from indoctrination, both online and in classrooms, Fillman suggests homeschooling as a good alternative. While not everyone can homeschool their children for various reasons, it is rapidly becoming the safest option for children.
“I would advise parents to do whatever they have to do to avoid taking any government aid for homeschooling,” Fillman said. “I would further advise them not to use materials made for schools at home. That’s not homeschooling, that’s school at home.”
Fillman said that she recommends that parents go as off-grid or old-school as possible in their homeschooling to protect their children from government interference in education and grooming in leftist agendas.
