Kids at this age don't understand this kind of thing and should not be taught it.. Nor should they have to learn anything about sex.. Our children should be allowed to be a child as long as the can be.. There is no reason to make them grow up faster then they already have to.. Why in the world would you want to give your babies more to worry with.....

This can be stopped if we are willing to fight for our children and grandchildren. And one of the first orders is to remove Jay Inslee and Patty Murray.....the Obama puppets

Not the schools place or job. We are the parents not your system or any other. Respect people's privacy and personal rights. We will remove our children and grandchildren before this is in any of their classes.

This is not the state or governments business. Stop undermining the rights of the parents.

This is wrong...no other words need to said. I would not let my child go to public school if I had children of school age..

The federal ad sdate governments have no right to try to change sex and gender from what has been acknowledged as truth for thousands of years. This is all a form of indoctrination to make these children conform to a "new society" which will have no understanding of moral behavior or natural reticence. Meanwhaile, true learning is being neglected - worse, ignored.

PUBLIC EDUCATIONAL STANDARDS ARE TO REMAIN PRIMARILY FOCUSED UPON INTELLECTUAL, MUSICAL, ARTS, FITNESS/HEALTH MATTERS. SOCIAL REFORM IS NOT IN ANY WAY APPROPRIATE IN A GOVERNMENTALLY RUN ENVIRONMENT. THIS AGENDA IS DANGEROUS, WRONG AND SEVERELY DAMAGING TO CHILDREN IN A WAY THAT GROSSLY OVER REACHES INTO MATTERS BEST LEFT TO THE FAMILY & COMMUNITY. THANK YOU FOR BRINGING FHIS TO LIGHT & CONTINUIING YOUR WORK.

Keep the 'liberal agenda' OUT of the public schools!! Children should NOT be indoctrinated with Transgenderism!! This is NOT the role of educators to expose this to children.

They seek to legitimize through propoganda what more and more reputable mental health specialist see as a mental condition!

This is really sick to teach that young kids. Some are sick and are born with gender issues, but this is not a reason to twist a young kid's mind to make them sick.

Randy, thank you for your efforts on this important issue. I applaud you. For those of you disturbed by this consider the following:
* Whether you are aware of it or not, some of your children will have classmates who are gender fluid, transgender, or otherwise different. I personally have an early elementary school student who is in one of those categories and know personally of several children who were persistent, insistent, and consistently telling their parents the best they knew how from 18 months and up. These are not "evil" lifestyle choices, but how the children come from Heaven. They are built that way. What kind of a classmate and friend would you like your child to be? One who understands and is a compassionate person? One who doesn't understand and is afraid?
* Suicide attempt rates of transgender people is 40%... way above average. THE thing which is documented as the number one determination of healthy mental health is loving and supporting family and friends.
* Violence, including assault, rape, and murder regularly occur against these populations. These actions are largely fueled by fear and ignorance. Perhaps, just perhaps education like this can decrease violence.
* There is some credible science which shows that there are legitimate differences in the brains of those who are gender non-conforming, etc. They exist and pretending they don't won't make them go away. You live in a reality which includes all types of people, as such, understanding helps make the world a better place.
* As such, learning these age appropriate concepts can't "rub off" or make someone transgender, gay, gender non-conforming, etc. Your children are not being exposed to some nefarious plan to convert people to "alternative lifestyles". Can I say anything which will change your sexuality (gay or straight)? Can I convince you that you are a gender you don't feel you are? No, that is preposterous. Likewise, your children are in no risk of being changed, either.
* Many

Not appropriate for Kindergarten. Non transparent disclosure to the public when released in March. Shame on OSPI!

Please re-consider this decision. My family firmly believes this is not the sort of 'education' the public schools should involve themselves in. And we object to spending our tax dollars towards this effort.
