The three classes Murphy attended were designed to recruit middle school students to GSA clubs, she said.
“The overarching theme of the classes that I attended were California Teachers instructing other teachers on how to sneak in the LGBTQ+ curriculum in a manner that does not alert parents,” Murphy said.
Caldeira and Baraki led a workshop called “How we run a ‘GSA’ in Conservative Communities,” and they described the obstacles they faced as activist teachers in concealing the activities of these clubs from parents.
In the audio clip, Caldeira advised teachers who lead LGBTQ clubs to maintain an air of plausible deniability so they can play dumb if they are questioned by parents. “Because we are not official, we have no club rosters. We keep no records,” said Caldeira, who is also
an LGBTQ club leader. “In fact, sometimes we don’t really want to keep records because if parents get upset that their kids are coming? We’re like, ‘Yeah, I don’t know. Maybe they came?’ You know, we would never want a kid to get in trouble for attending if their parents are upset.”The teachers bragged about spying on students’ online searches and activity as well as eavesdropping on their conversations to
identify and recruit sixth-grade students into these LGBTQ clubs whose
membership rolls are kept hidden from parents. They suggested that parents who refuse to call their child by pronouns of the child’s choosing should be arrested and charged with child abuse, Murphy said.
Baraki
backed up Caldeira’s advice, suggesting activist teachers to disguise
the nature of GSA clubs by calling them something less obvious. Baraki
provided an example of this deception, pointing out she avoided naming
her LGBTQ club a GSA. Instead, she called it the “Equity Club” and later
changed the name to the “You Be You” club." ZeroHedge
