"Comprehensive Sex Ed" Tied to Programs to Sexually Groom Children: Brenda Lebsack | Clip

Schools are adopting programs tied to comprehensive sex ed and others that are teaching a hyper-sexualized narrative on gender and personal relationships. Behind these programs is a system that is pulling children from the authority of their parents and exposing them to direct lines of communication with adults on sexual platforms. Children who refuse the new sexual and political narratives face various forms of racial and sexual discrimination. And parents who refuse to acknowledge the sexual narratives can be accused of spiritual abuse. According to Brenda Lebsack, a teacher of 30 years and a former school board member for Orange Unified School District, these programs equate to grooming of children and are part of a broader agenda. Hey Brenda, thanks for being on Crossroads. First off, I mean I want to talk a bit about what's happening with this sex ed in schools because we've been hearing a lot of mixed things. We hear on one side that, oh, it's not really enforced. Yes, you know, teachers can choose to enforce it or not. We hear also that, no, it's just twice a year. We hear it's everywhere. We also hear there's other organizations pushing it. So what's the situation with this new comprehensive sex ed? Well, it does integrate into a lot of different areas because it is actually bringing social change on how we look at gender and how we look at sexuality. So we have a system called multi-tiered systems of support. It's called MTSS. And it's something that definitely California is part of where school districts partner with outside agencies. It can be for mental health. It can be for suicide prevention. It can be for tutoring or for sports. But there's many different outside agencies that are coming and having five-year contracts with a memorandum of understanding. So let's break this down a bit. So in addition to the way that it's being pushed in schools, which we'll get into a bit, there's also third-party organizations that are pushing this kind of new type of sexual education. Absolutely. Before we get into those organizations, like, what is the kind of stuff they're actually pushing? Like, if I hear, like, suicide prevention or mental health, I'm like, great, help the kids. You know, why is that a bad thing? Well, as a teacher, we have some new mental health workers because there's a lot of grant money coming in right now for mental health. And so we have a lot of young new mental health workers, counselors being added to our schools. And when I've asked them, you know, so how are you trained to define gender identity? And they have blatantly told me that it's a choice. And I've said, well, what if a kindergartner comes to you and says, I think I'm both genders and want to go by the pronoun of tree? How are you trained to deal with that? And the mental health worker said to affirm it. And I said, what if the kindergartner says, my parents aren't going to like that, so please don't tell my parents. How are you trained to deal with that? And she said, we can't tell their parent. We have to keep it confidential until the child feels comfortable because we want our school to be a safe place. Now with kids seeking mental help, you know, what's the chances of them calling, you know, calling these numbers and the call being caused by this kind of gender confusion? Well, the gender confusion, it's coming in more and more because I've already studied like the preschool. I teach preschool as well. And a lot of grades, but because I'm a PE teacher for special education kids. So I'm in a lot of schools and a lot of grades, but I've studied the preschool and the universal preschool that Biden wants to bring in. And it already has all of that in it. A lot of it comes from human rights campaign, welcoming schools that teaches kids, you can choose your gender when you're born. Parents or doctors just make a guess at your gender by looking at your body parts, but that doesn't determine who you really are. And you can be both genders, neither gender, gender fluid or change as you go, depending on your feelings. So what you're saying basically is that these organizations coming in, they're putting books and education structures in the kindergartens. And I guess throughout, this is not limited to just the sex ed programs and what you're talking about. Oh, absolutely not. It's part of anti-bullying programs. It's part of diversity, anti-racism, Black Lives Matter. It's part of all of that. And so as the schools then begin pushing these narratives, you're saying your parents, your parents just don't know, you know, in these kids, their parents are their worlds. What their parent tells them is the world at that point. Then suddenly they're told out of the blue, they first go to school, your parents don't actually know. We know, your parents don't know. And the kid is like, well, what's true then? My parents or what they're telling me? It's definitely creates a dilemma. And I'm not going to say, you know, there's a lot of teachers that don't agree with this, first of all. And it's coming in in a gradual way, but also because we have Hollywood, we have TikTok, we have Instagram and all these virtual platforms that are enforcing this for kids. And now we have our cartoons that are doing that. So they're getting these messages in so many different ways that when parents, you know, they have to be really firm to be able to intentionally teach their children, their values. Otherwise they can really get swept off their feet. And if a child starts thinking, maybe I'm some, a different gender, which is, you know, if you're taught these things and I know for me, I was a tomboy. So I know that if I were taught these things, I would have definitely thought, oh, you mean I can just take a pill and poof, I'll become a boy like Pinocchio went from a wooden boy to a real boy. That's what I would have thought. And a lot of kids are getting caught up in that reasonably so because puberty is a very awkward time and you want to kind of escape from that. And I think especially girls are susceptible because, you know, when you find out puberty for girls, a lot of girls are horrified, such as I was. And it's like, if I don't have to live that life, great. But it's just, it makes it sound like all you got to do is if you're not sure about your gender, just, you know, go on puberty blockers. It'll give you more time to decide. No problem. But if your parents don't agree with it, then in California, the California Department of Ed passed a term called spiritual abuse. So that new term actually means using religion to justify rigid gender ideology, such as gender is based on biology. Wait, spiritual abuse isn't a type of child abuse. Yes. So parents can be charged with child abuse if their religion does not affirm like transgenderism or something like that. Correct. What does that mean for parents, then, if a parent's a Christian or Muslim and, you know, whatever, and their religion disagrees with what's being taught? What does that mean for the parent if they tell their kid, no, that's not right? The school could call CPS, Child Protective Services, and they could have their child taken away. Based on the religious belief of the parents? Correct. So they are literally putting parents' backs against the wall and terrifying them. And how does that not violate religious freedom at that point, if it's specifically something targeting religious belief and morality? I'm not a lawyer, but we're going to have a lot of lawsuits, and there's already a lot of lawsuits going on now. And so at the same time this is happening, so this is the dilemma for parents. Their kids are going to schools, they're bringing these outside organizations, they're bringing in books, they're bombarding them on social media apps, working together with these same organizations, all these same groups, and they're bombarding kids, telling them, your parents don't understand, your parents assumed your gender, you can choose whatever you want. The kids are being told conflicting things between home and school and among their peers. And then if parents continue to disagree, the kid can go after their own parents for child abuse? Yes. And so what is, I mean, I'm trying to break this down. I mean, this seems like unreal. This seems like what people say is going to happen, and everyone says, no, that'll never happen. But you're saying this is already here. It is here, yes. And that's why they want to tell the children first and indoctrinate the children, because they're imaginative, they're trusting, and they want to be special. So when it's being portrayed that way, and along with the cartoons, such as AMAZE cartoons, where they actually incentivize kids to be, to identify as a non-conforming gender, and they liken it to exciting salad ingredients, but they liken biological genders to the kind of old school, like a rock-hard piece of lettuce and an old stinky, up-dried-up tomato. That's how they talk about it in these AMAZE videos. What are these AMAZE, what is AMAZE? AMAZE is part of Advocates for Youth, which is, it's a curriculum that it has a huge following on YouTube. And they're part of the curriculum, but they're also going worldwide in many different languages, teaching kids that gender is based on your feelings. You can choose your gender. It fluctuates, whatever you feel is your authentic self. And it also, with sexuality, the same thing. You know, you can just explore your sexuality at any age, and it can be fluid, and there's unlimited, ever-expansive. So this AMAZE thing, saying that gender is endless, and they're doing programs for kids, I mean, first of all, who's behind it? And also, how's it being pushed on kids, then, in the classroom? Well, who funds it is the Center of Disease Control, CDC. They fund Advocates for Youth, and so they're funding these AMAZE videos that are going worldwide. So this is U.S. taxpayer-funded programming, then? Yes. And the Center of Disease Control also affirms unlimited genders. So if you go on their website and you look up terminology for LGBTQ, you'll find the word non-binary, which is defined as meaning that a child can make up their own gender.
