West Hartford Teaches Kindergarteners About Transgenderism as Part of Its 'Social Justice' Lessons
One parent was particularly disturbed by a book taught to fourth graders entitled, "When Aidan Became a Brother," which the parent described as "full on gender theory" that teaches students their biological sex is "wrong."
"When Aidan was born, everyone thought he was a girl. His parents gave him a pretty name, his room looked like a girl’s room, and he wore clothes that other girls liked wearing," the book's description reads. "After he realized he was a trans boy, Aidan and his parents fixed the parts of his life that didn’t fit anymore, and he settled happily into his new life."
The description goes on to say that, when Aidan’s parents announce that they are having a second child, Aidan "wants to do everything he can to make things right for his new sibling from the beginning" including selecting the "perfect name" and picking out the right clothes. The book asks what "making things right" actually means.
Another fourth-grade title is about pronouns, called "They She HE Me; Free to Be!"
Meanwhile, kindergarteners are taught about a text entitled, "Introducing Teddy," which tells the story of the character's teddy bear explaining their wishes to change from a boy teddy bear to a girl teddy bear.
"One sunny day, Errol finds that Thomas is sad, even when they are playing in their favorite ways, the description reads. "Errol can't figure out why, until Thomas finally tells Errol what the teddy has been afraid to say: 'In my heart, I've always known that I'm a girl teddy, not a boy teddy. I wish my name was Tilly, not Thomas.' And Errol says, 'I don't care if you're a girl teddy or a boy teddy! What matters is that you are my friend.'"
Books about crossdressing and avoiding the use of pronouns are taught to elementary school students.
The district’s director of equity advancement, Roszena Haskins, wrote in an email to parents that the schools have "redoubled district-wide efforts to attend to the social and emotional needs of children and adults."
