I just received word that the education standards are being revised to address our concerns. I am truly overwhelmed by this result and I know this never would have happened without the thousands of you who stepped up to speak out. Please keep an eye on these policies as they …

Kindergarten used to be a place for children to learn how to add, subtract, and read. Next year, Washington school children as young as five years old will instead be learning about gender expression, gender identity and fluidity, sexual orientation, and HIV prevention.
The newly-minted health and education standards, released by the Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI), will be implemented in schools across the state for the 2017-2018 school year.
Parents should be concerned about whether these standards are age-appropriate, as well as whether the manner in which these topics will be taught may undermine their values.

Sign our petition to request that OSPI modify the 2017-18 Health and Physical Education Standards, and to request that OSPI respect the wishes of parents and taxpayers by removing these controversial topics from the elementary school curriculum standards once and for all.
Once this petition reaches 10,000 signatures, it will be presented to OSPI and members of the Washington State Legislature.

I started this to express my own concerns as a parent and I am truly shocked that so many of you feel exactly the same way. The stories you are leaving in the comments show that this is about so much more than just policy documents. I am currently working on organizing a way to get these concerns in front of the right people.

The classroom is not the place to push certain values, beliefs and opinions. Its a place to teach academics. I'm shocked that the state is overstepping this boundary. Banning God and religion but TEACHING gender identity and other such opposite values.
I vehemently object to the teaching of gender identity and sexual orientation in Washington public elementary schools. These topics are absolutely age inappropriate for elementary age children. These topics should be left to parental discretion.
I am concerned about the newly-minted health and education standards released by the Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction. Children should be learning to how to read and do math, and health related issues taught by their parents.
This is unacceptable, that you implement this teaching without notifying all parents of this change! You are not a Czar or dictator, you have been placed in your position by the people and for us. Please do the right thing by us and notify all families!
Please let us deal with these issues at home. I cannot imagine the school telling my 10 year old grandson he has to decide if he is homosexual, heterosexual or bisexual! He is a kid and shouldn't be thinking about sex...government needs to back up.
Children are too young to learn this concept. It’s should also be a topic taught in high school. This is completely ridiculous!
Gender theory is a cult.
