Protect our youth.


Help Parents Resist Propaganda
Pushed into Schools


There's an epic struggle occurring in today's public schools.
In the name of "diversity" and "tolerance," school administrators and classroom teachers are being encouraged to promote materials—primarily by outside sexual advocacy groups—which blur the lines of normal gender roles. And, oftentimes without the parents' knowledge.
One such book recommended in "diversity" materials for educators is 10,000 Dresses, a story about a boy named Bailey, who dreams about dresses and wants to wear them. The story switches back and forth between gender pronouns that refer to Bailey:
"Dad, I dreamt about a dress," Bailey said. ...
"And I was wondering if you could grow me a dress like that?"
"Bailey, what are you talking about? You're a boy. Boys don't wear dresses!"
"But, I don't feel like a boy," she said.
"Well, you are one, Bailey, and that's that! Now go away, and don't mention dresses again!"

So, is it any wonder that children might come home confused or asking questions about their own gender identity?
And, why do outside groups aggressively promote books like this for use in the classroom?
Simple: To familiarize and normalize behaviors, such as cross-dressing, to children at very young ages. And more parents and students are encountering classroom lessons, which cross the line—well beyond diversity teaching into actual sexualized propaganda.
Do you agree parents should be the ones to determine when, how and if their children are exposed to sensitive subjects like this—not outside activist groups? And that all students' deeply held values—including those who follow what the Bible says about sexuality and gender—should be respected in taxpayer-funded schools?
If so, we invite you to partner with Focus on the Family®, as we continue to equip and engage parents with biblically based, unique resources provided by True Tolerance®.
As a donor-funded ministry, we look to God and to you to help us continue providing practical and proven resources—such as our new Equipping Parents to Respond to Gender Confusing Messages in Schools—you can use with your own family, church and friends.
