Calling for the PA Secretary of Education to Remove the Offensive Material or Resign

Details

As you may recall, the Acting Secretary of Education, Eric Hagarty, has been called out for including a “Gender Identity” webpage on the PA Department of Education website.   This page, and others on the website, are simply LGBT indoctrination for kids as young as 3! Here’s some of what’s on the website – we’ll start with definitions:

  • Binary Gender – The faulty concept that there are only two genders: male and female.
  • Genderqueer – A broad descriptor many people use to indicate a person does not identify as either male or female.
  • Gender Expression/Gender Presentation – How we show our gender to the world through external choices (e.g. dress, behavior, hairstyle).
  • Preferred Personal Ponouns – In addition to the traditional pronouns (he/him, she/her, they), some people prefer to use gender-neutral pronouns, such as ne, ve, ze/zie and xe. If you don’t know a student’s preferred personal pronoun, it’s always best to ask.

The page includes links to outside sources such as Gender Spectrum, an “organization committed to the health and well-being of gender-diverse children and teens”.  It also includes links to the Southern Poverty Law Center, which specializes in attacking those who hold traditional values, and the United Nations.  Check it out for yourself!

Twenty-one State Reps said ‘enough is enough’ and are calling on PA Department of Education Acting Secretary Eric Hagarty to remove the offensive material or resign.  They have issued an official ““Reform or Resign Ultimatum”.
