Avast ye! Ye New York parents and landlubbers be raisin' a ruckus o'er a charter school that be aimin' to teach wee ones progressive gender notions. Methinks they be soundin' the alarm, fearin' the spread of such ideas amongst our young scallywags!
New York parents and political figures are expressing their concerns over a proposed charter school called Miss Major Middle, which aims to promote gender ideology to children in grades 5-9. The school describes itself as a "Genderful school" and claims to live at the intersection of gender, choice, liberation, joy, and creativity. It promises to create an inclusive and genderful environment for its students and prioritize self-expression and community engagement through various art forms.Critics argue that introducing such complex ideology to young children is dangerous and can lead to physical harm, such as the use of puberty blockers and irreversible surgeries. They believe that the school rewards and encourages gender dysphoria and is essentially using and abusing children to promote its ideology. Some parents are also concerned about the push to normalize the transgender movement at younger ages and exclude parents from knowing about their children's transgender inclination.
Helen Qiu, an NYC mother and political candidate, described the school as shocking and claimed that it is part of a larger effort to normalize the transgender movement and exclude parents. Natalya Murakhver, a co-founder of Restore Childhood and a mother, criticized the school's premise, saying it could potentially prey upon children with preexisting mental health issues.
The school is named after Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, a Black transgender activist involved in the 1969 Stonewall riots. It claims to be dedicated to advocating for the rights and well-being of transgender and gender-nonconforming individuals. However, its future remains uncertain as it is one of many applicants for a limited number of charters in New York City.
Fox News Digital reached out to Miss Major Middle for comment but has not received a response yet. The final decision on the school's approval will be made by SUNY in June.
