The document summarizes concerns about a "morally bankrupt agenda" influencing California's public school curriculum according to a group called "Advocates for Faith and Freedom." Specifically, it argues that gender identity policies force assumptions about students' gender identities and allow bathroom access based on gender identity rather than biological sex. It also claims the curriculum inappropriately emphasizes LGBT groups and prohibits views contrary to "gender liberation." Parents are encouraged to consider alternative school options or get involved in their children's education to address these concerns.

"If you want to be an engineer, doctor, accountant, etc., there are schools for that; but if you want to be a mother, father, husband, or wife there are few, if any schools.
The importance of child rearing and marriage is left to guesswork, trial and error, and whatever you picked up from your parents“
(Kunjufu, J. (1984). Developing positive self-images & discipline in Black children. Chicago, IL: African-American Images. p. 67)

This presentation defines abuse and offers warning signs for recognizing abuse. It describes the particular characteristics of abuse in homeschooling settings and lays out ways to help abused homeschooled children. Designed with homeschooling parents and communities in mind, this presentation should prove helpful for anyone frequently in contact with homeschooled children.

The California Teachers Association’s
Plan for Your Children
Gender Liberation:
• “Please do not assume anyone’s gender, even people you may have met in
the past.”
• “We consider it polite to ask: ‘What pronoun do you prefer?’ or ‘How do
you identify?’ before using pronouns or gendered words for anyone.”
• “Each of us can decide for ourselves in which bathroom we belong.”
3. HIJACKED K-12 www.faith-freedom.com
Gender Redefined
• SB 777 changed the definition of “gender”:
“Gender” means sex, and includes a person’s gender identity
and gender expression. “gender expression” means a
person’s gender-related appearance and behavior whether
or not stereotypically associated with the person’s assigned
sex at birth.
4. HIJACKED K-12 www.faith-freedom.com
Implication
• “Equal rights and opportunities” regardless of one’s gender or
“gender identity”
• Must allow a “self-defined female” access to any and all female
facilities
• A new bill (AB 1266) even allows for males dressed as females
and females dressed as males to share locker rooms,
bathrooms, showers, and sports!
7. HIJACKED K-12 www.faith-freedom.com
History Revised
SB 48 requires all K-12 public schools to change their history &
social science curricula to focus on the homosexual behavior of
prominent individuals or find obscure individuals to include in
such curricula.
9. HIJACKED K-12 www.faith-freedom.com
A Single Worldview
• So, public schools must now specifically emphasize the positive
role of LGBT groups and individuals in society…
• The Education Code prohibits any teaching or materials that
holds a view contrary to “gender liberation”.
11. HIJACKED K-12 www.faith-freedom.com
Real Consequences
Dr. Miriam Grossman testified to the negative consequences of
SB 48, including the fact that
“…the idea of transgenderism…is confusing and frightening to
children. These are difficult concepts for adults to comprehend,
let alone children.”
13. HIJACKED K-12 www.faith-freedom.com
Termination of Parental Rights
• What can your children do without your
consent?
• Get an abortion
• Seek confidential medical services
• Leave campus to get these medical services –
without you ever being notified about it
• Receive confidential treatment for infectious,
contagious, or communicable disease – including
STDs
On top of all this, state law requires that children be informed of these
“rights” to circumvent their parents!
14. HIJACKED K-12 www.faith-freedom.com
School Counseling
• School counselors are authorized to provide “personal and
social counseling” to our children.
• All information the kids say during their counseling sessions is
considered confidential (unless it pertains to a crime and/or
must be reported).
• Further, a minor can independently consent to confidential
mental health counseling.
Where does this leave the parents?
15. HIJACKED K-12 www.faith-freedom.com
HIV/AIDS Prevention Education Act
Information is required to be presented to kids at least once
in middle school and once in high school, with the goal to:
1) “Provide a pupil with the knowledge and skills necessary to
protect his or her sexual and reproductive health from
unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.”
2) “Encourage a pupil to develop healthy attitudes concerning
adolescent growth and development, body image, gender
roles, sexual orientation, dating, marriage, and family.”
We know that this is a serious health issue, but we
are concerned for the slippery slope this Act could
lead to in the moral education of our students!
16. HIJACKED K-12 www.faith-freedom.com
“Discrimination-Free” Zones
• School Board must choose to be designated a Discrimination-
Free Zone under the code.
• This designation means school administrators can remove
children accused of intolerance or discrimination from
campuses in order to re-educate them.
• Though no school is known to have yet adopted this
“Discrimination-Free” designation, what might it look like if one
does?
17. HIJACKED K-12 www.faith-freedom.com
Hostility Towards Religion – A Case
Study
• Chase Harper wore a t-shirt defending
his Christian view of homosexual
behavior at his school on the day of the
Gay-Straight Alliance’s “Day of Silence”
• He was detained/suspended by school
officials
• First Amendment Rights or tolerance?
18. HIJACKED K-12 www.faith-freedom.com
Hostility Towards Religion – Case 2
• Chad Farnan endured consistent rants against
Christianity from his AP European History teacher
in high school, including:
“When you put your Jesus glasses on, you can’t see
the truth.”
“There is as much evidence that God [created the
universe] as there is that there is a giant spaghetti
monster living behind the moon who did it…”
• So, teachers are censured for having a Bible on
their desk or praying with a student, but these
remarks from a teacher are ok?
19. HIJACKED K-12 www.faith-freedom.com
What Can Parents Do?
• Consider private school, homeschooling, or a charter school.
• Be informed – speak to your child’s teacher before the school
year starts to get information about the curriculum.
• Keep informed about what your child is learning.
• Join the PTA.
• Review the content of sex education modules, and opt out if
necessary.
• Contact (or run for!) school boards and state legislators.
• Contact Advocates if you learn of any misconduct in your child’s
public school education/experience.
20. HIJACKED K-12 www.faith-freedom.com
What Can Teachers Do?
• Withdraw from the California Teachers Association (CTA).
• Or, opt out of paying CTA membership dues that go towards
political causes.
• Become a leader in the CTA to effect positive change.
• Join the alternative Christian Educators Association
International (CEAI). www.ceai.org
• Contact Advocates if you face discrimination in the public
schools based on your faith.
