Transgender Agenda in Schools
Funded by Tax Dollars

The Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) sponsors "TransAction Day" in schools across Massachusetts to promote transgenderism and "gender non-conforming" behavior. For TransAction Day, held this year on Feb. 27, GLSEN makes available curriculum that includes workshops exploring the use of gender-neutral language and terminology. GLSEN encourages students to use their school's Gay-Straight Alliance, a tax-payer funded club, to sponsor these activities.

• Students are instructed to use pronouns such as "zie" and "hir" instead of "he" and "she" or "his" and "hers."
  
  
• Students are told to discuss definitions of terms such as "Butch," "Femme," Drag king/Drag Queen," and "Genderqueer."
  
  
• Students are instructed on sexual reassignment surgery and hormone treatments.
  
  
• Students are told to hold "drag shows" to raise money for their cause.
  
  
• Students are encouraged to advocate for transgender issues in their schools, including petition drives to fund costly gender-neutral or multi-gendered bathrooms and locker rooms.
  
  
• Students are instructed to challenge school policies on male-female couples at prom, homecoming king and queen, and gender-based colors for graduation gowns.
  
  
• Students are given resources on bringing transgender speakers to school. They are told to encourage teachers to offer extra credit for attending.
  
  
• Students are told that "transphobia" is on-par with sexism, racism, ageism, and other oppressions.
  
  
• Students are told that "exploring gender (and sexuality) is a healthy expression of growing up and developing as a person.
