Wisconsin School Sex-Ed Pushes Gender Fluidity

In an affluent Milwaukee, Wis., suburb, the Wauwatosa School District is generously offering its students a new sex-ed program that adheres to the deceptively titled National Sex Education Standards — a private program developed by such leading lights as Sonya M. Norsworthy, the national director of education for the Planned Parenthood Federation of America. The program trains students in gender ideology starting in kindergarten and progressing through high school.

Like many such programs, it cloaks itself in concern for a child’s well-being while explicitly teaching five-year-olds about the anatomy of “female-assigned” persons. Perhaps most insidiously, the ideological instruction is woven into state-mandated sex-education programs, meaning that gender and sex — feeling and biological reality — are conflated.
