…The teacher, taking his cues from New York Times bestseller This Book Is Antiracist, continued with his Marxist reading of society, instructing the eight-year-old students that ...“folx” (touted as a more inclusive term for “folks”) “who do not benefit from their social identities, who are in the subordinate culture, have little to no privilege and power.”
Awareness is drawn to “families” such as those with “two moms, two dads,” without making any distinction from “mom and dad” families, in an attempt to give the former categories a kind of credence or normality.
The students were expected to draft short essays, “at least one full page in writing,” in which they would assess their own “intersectionality,” including their sexual identity, and ordering themselves according to the principles of intersectionality. To help the students identify what rung of the intersectional hierarchy they fit into, the teacher’s presentation offered a “social identities” page, listing such identities as “transgenderism and non-binary sexuality.”
For any of the children who might have been confused by terms like
“transgender” and “cisgender,” the teacher provided an “example identity
sentence” to train them out of the habit of identifying gender “just by
looking at” people. Instead, the class are taught that “gender is
something you get to choose.” Lifesite
