Not only does this insanity exist, but it is being pushed on schoolchildren of the youngest ages. If you dare to oppose this agenda, you’ll be called a “bigot” and more, just as opponents of jihad violence were marginalized with the same charges years ago. The tactic works, and is now being more widely employed.
“Watch: Teacher Tells Kindergartners ‘When Babies Are Born,’ Doctors ‘Guess Whether the Baby Is a Boy or a Girl,’” by Breccan F. Thies, Breitbart, April 11, 2022:
A teacher at a Boston-area charter school revealed to young children she identifies as a male and claimed that when babies are born, doctors can only “guess” if the baby is a boy or a girl, but “sometimes the doctor is wrong.”
Ray Skyler, a first grade teacher at Brooke Roslindale School who told four- and five-year-olds she is transgender, presented her sexual identity to the children on an “Identity Share” Zoom call consisting of kindergartners, first graders, and second graders.
Sarah Hammond, the school’s assistant principal, opened the floor to Skyler for her “I am” statement, telling the children, “Remember: Your job during the Identity Share is to be listening really carefully so that you can learn something new about Mr. Skyer [sic].”
“So something that’s really cool and unique about who I am is that I am transgender,” Skyler, who is a female identifying as a male, said. [Emphasis added] “So when babies are born, the doctor looks at them and they make a guess about whether the baby is a boy or girl based on what they look like. Most of the time that guess is 100% correct; there are no issues whatsoever, but sometimes the doctor is wrong; the doctor makes an incorrect guess.”
“When a doctor makes a correct guess, that’s when a person is called cisgender,” she continued. “When a doctor’s guess is wrong that’s when they are transgender.”
“So I’m a man, but when I was a baby the doctors told my parents I was a girl,” Skyler explained to the young children….
somehistory says
“really cool and unique.” That explains why these fools are making the claim that the “doctor was wrong” and that they are not what they were born to be.
It’s isn’t “cool” and it’s spreading rapidly…in a few more days, it will cease to be “unique.”
it’s all for attention; to get people to say things in an exclamatory way and ask questions…all for attention.
This is why Gov. De Santis and the other guys and ladies in the Florida state government recently wrote and enacted a Law against this demonic indoctrination of little kids. The only thing I find wrong with the Law is that it only protects the youngest of kids….through third grade. But, some kids are still in awe of their teachers in later grades.
This woman should be fired…she is too mentality ill to keep “teaching” kids. and that goes for her boss who told the kids to “listen” and they might “learn” something. The only thing one can “learn” from this attention-seeking idiot is that she is a liar and an idiot and should not have anything to do with little kids.
bill says
It is insulting to suggest that experienced doctors and midwives cannot tell whether a child has a penis or a vagina. Yes it is true that there are certain cases of hermaphrodites but they are rare.
The gender of the child can be established by genetic testing.
A person with a penis and testicles is a male and one with reproductive organs ie. a womb and a vagina is a female. That is all there is to it..
If a woman changes to representing herself as man and then bears a child, she is still a woman
whatever she or he may claim.
Wellington says
The fact of the matter is that the American public educational system, which was one of the best, if not the best, in all the world around 1950 has been almost totally ruined. The Bozos of my generation, i.e., the Baby Boomers, are ensconced in their cushy tenured positions in almost every college and university in America and they have now instructed not one, but two generations, in their many stupidities and moronic ideas.
So, now we have a huge number of teachers, like the turkey mentioned above, “instructing” children in all kinds of anti-American, anti-common sense, anti-biological, etc. nonsense. This is why, if a parent is able, and I understand for many this would be very difficult, they must pull their child out of the public school system in America, which system has been totally corrupted by Leftism. Having spent 33 years in education, I know what I am talking about here and it is getting worse by the year.
Public education in America, as now constituted, must be destroyed and then built back from the ground up. Yes, it’s become this terrible, courtesy of Leftists aplenty and the utterly despicable teacher unions.
somehistory says
Wellington, it is my belief that a parent is the best teacher of their kids.
After all, the loving parent (as meant by my first line), teaches their babies to talk, walk, to use a spoon, to put on their shoes, tie laces, dress themselves, and an entire dictionary of words and their meanings, and to be a loving, ethical person who can then learn things on their own.
If a parent can teach all these things successfully, then that parent can also teach reading, writing, math, science and so many other useful and even, fun things. One-on-one education.
Without all this lying garbage being fed daily to kids and warping their thinking processes.
I was not an “educator” as you were, but I did homeschool my kids and it was very rewarding.
My son hates math and does not enjoy reading. He would draw all kinds of stuff along the margins of his papers and now, even though he went to UF Law, became a lawyer, etc. , he makes his living painting in oil and acrylics. Had he been in a government run school as a little kid, he would have been in trouble for his art, discouraged by the teachers.
Wellington says
You did a great thing, somehistory, homeschooling your kids, tough as that must have been at times.
And yes, parents are indeed the best teachers of their children, per your own assessment. But there was a time when teachers (like the Catholic nuns of St. Joseph who taught me exceedingly well grammar, math, Latin, et al.) were a great support, a terrific support, to parents, as my own parents knew only too well. Alas, those days are largely gone.
What a damn shame. What a waste. No excuse for this.
As education of the youth of a nation goes, so goes the nation. Right now, things are now looking very bright in the exceedingly silly age we live in here in America respecting where matters are going.
As Jesuits often asserted over the centuries, give me the child and I care not what you do with the man, so certain (and correct) were they that the child is indeed the father of the man, the mother of the woman. OMG, imagine what these poor young boys and girls are being taught by fools and worse aplenty and the repercussions of these many errors twenty, thirty, forty years from now. Chilling to reflect upon as I’m sure you’ll agree.
Wellington says
“…not looking very bright….” and not “…now looking very bright…”
Damn.
somehistory says
thank you, Wellington.
It was really tough at times…when I was working 40 hours on the nightshift and teaching them during the day. If I had to do it again, I would and I encourage others who have school kids to teach them at home. It’s a serious thing to entrust one’s children to another person.
I had some good teachers when I attended school too. some were even excellent and caring.
I feel bad for kids today and wish there was some way I could make people wake up…not the ‘woke’ stuff, but really thinking and observing what is happening.
When I can’t think of anything else, I feel like the guy in the “Night of the Living Dead” from the 60’s…the zombies were all gone, his companions were dead, and he was alone in the farmhouse …and the sheriff and others were approaching with guns drawn. No way out of it for him. And after all the fighting to survive.
somehistory says
It’s frustrating to write, submit and then see errors. but we all do that, some of us quite often (and I don’t mean you).
One thing I would like to mention….my oldest daughter is a nurse, my second was a bank manager, but traded that for mortage broker. When she was about fifteen, we had gone through all of the math courses that I was really knowledgeable about and wanted to do trig. A friend who was brilliant at that had tried to teach me when I was young, but it was still beyond me, so I bought some books and my daughter taught herself.
My third daughter is terribly dyslexic, and it took a lot of work for her, but she loves reading and she is a whiz on computers.
Teaching kids all manner of things can be a challenge, but if one puts their mind to it, the student can succeed and the parent can learn too.
Wellington says
“I feel bad for kids today…”
In brief, somehistory, you accurately summed up much, though not all, of the entire problem. As usual, problems aplenty have a plentiful number of sources. And who can state them all, whether you, me or anyone else? I surely can’t. Surely.
What a strange and warped age we live in. Specifically, though much of Western Civilization has much to apologize for (though no more, even less, than other civilizations, nonetheless no civilization has done more to correct past wrongs than has Western Civilization, contra Islamic and Far Eastern civilizations—sub-Saharan and American Indian civilizations and societies too—you gettin’ any of this “bill?”). It seems only the West is held to one standard and non-Western portions of mankind are held to an entirely different one. How phony.
Besides, the West has done more to advance mankind than any other civilization or society, even with its wrongs. I challenge anyone to name for me a civilization or society that is non-Western that has done more for freedom overall, equality under the law, prosperity overall, women’s rights (N.B., real women’s rights and not those who wear something like the hijab), the most advanced innovative technological and scientific advancements, the most decent and fair legal systems, etc., than that of the West. Can’t be done I say.
Indeed, what is particularly disgusting and parasitic is that non-Western societies aplenty have appropriated Western inventions and developments without acknowledging any tribute to the West, and which is most ungrateful and, so many times as well, just downright mendacious. Think, as an example, minus Western technology, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the UAE, et al.—where would they be, drowning in wealth as they have been, over the past half century or so, minus Western know-how? Hardly.
Were I a Saudi and a completely honest person (a difficult combo to be sure) I would be embarrassed by how little the Islamic world has ACCCOMPLISHED ON ITS OWN over the past half millennium or even longer.
Enough. I am so sick of the castigation of the West without a concomitant castigation of non-Western societies. How phony. Nothing more so. About time the West produces Western leaders who know this AND state this. The non-West owes the West and not the other way around. Those averring otherwise are either lying or ignorant.
somehistory says
It’s true, Wellington, that I didn’t mention all of the problems. I would be cramped of hand if I tried. 🙂 And my comment would still be in the process of being written. If I could think of all of them. Big “if.”
Your assessment of the appropriation without the acknowledgement, reminds me of some experiences I had with a certain company. After weeks of training, a bunch of us were put to working a new product with the company.
However, the supervisors didn’t go through the same thing and some had no training at the business at all. but when they had to interact with clients, and had to ask people like me questions, then relayed the answer, taking credit for the solution, it always gave me a feeling of not being truly appreciated..
so, this taking without acknowledgement or even a thank you goes from the individual, up to entire countries as you make clear.
If not for the oil drilling and processing, the saudi’s would likely be no better than the poorest of the poor. Remember when “bo” ordered NASA to give credit to mozlums for much of their accomplishment?
which brings to mind an article by Mr. Greenfield, some years ago. He had a pic of a pakistani dentist using hammer and chisel on the mouth of a patient.
Yep, no appreciation, no acknowledgement, but plenty of blame.

Wellington,
I started public school – back when they were still good – in the late 1950s.
Also went to catechism class on Saturday mornings.
I learned that the students in the Catholic parochial school were, even then, ahead of their public school counterparts in basic knowledge and the 3Rs.
a says
The Baby Boomers are not to blame for this madness as it is the children of the Baby Boomers that started this insanity and most Baby Boomers, like me, are now retired.
gravenimage says
a, the erosion of common sense teaching in the public schools does indeed date back to the Baby Boomers–and even earlier. Things have gotten increasingly bad under their “Gen X” children, but it didn’t start there.
somehistory says
The “Baby-boom generation” began in 1946 and lasted until 1964. that’s a full 18 years of people being born. the boomers that were the early ones, are not the same ones that began this madness. those people had experience in hard times.
this crt and other garbage shouldn’t be put at the door of people who saw the hard work of their parents and made efforts to be like what they saw, learned from the “common sense” of their parents and also have some. those people are aging, but still have more common sense…in the general population…than do the people who believe themselves to be “smart” and “woke” and the politicians who encourage it….
Infidel says
So why does our newest justice in SCOTUS think that biology determines if a baby is a boy or a girl? If the chromosomes in each cell do not define it, which is what would be needed for these ‘experts’ to be right, then how does biology even start to be a factor here?
Keith O says
My first thought was WTF??? I thought this was some sort of sick joke, then I realised, Nope, this wanker is for real and that is truly scary.
What twisted thought pattern tells these arseholes that it’s ok to tell kids, who’s only concept of male or female is whether they stand up to pee or not, that being mentally ill is “a cool thing” are they shitting me?
How the freaking hell did this crap, this child abuse, ever make it into the so called education system????
Don McKellar says
Observation of facts determines gender. Science determines gender. Not feelings. Not politics.
This person is insane and needs to be removed. There’s no telling how many children he has harmed.

Fire the coach for allowing this guy to play on the girls team.

One of the things the article said was that this was not allowed by the rugby association. but, it was allowed and he injured three girls. everyone who had the option of keeping him off the team and out of the game, should be fired.

Aussie Infidel says
Ray Skyler looks like a man (male appearance and facial hair); talks like a man (deep voice – an octave or so below what is normal for a female). When he was born, what made the doctors tell his parents he was a girl? Was he born without male genitalia? Were any other tests done? Has he been on medication of any kind? All unknown!
If Skyler truly is the way he claims (transgender) for whatever reason), I wouldn’t hold that against him per se. None of us can help the way we were born. Having practised hypnotherapy for many years, I have known of other people (both male and female) whose gender is somewhat indeterminate. Something has simply gone wrong in the reproductive process. It’s only when this aberration is exploited by malicious people for political purposes that I object to it. A presentation like this to immature young children is not “cool” or appropriate; it only serves to produce confusion and should not have been allowed.
The sad part is that neither Skyler or his assistant principal Hammond seem to understand the unintended consequences of their actions. However, you can be sure that the Leftist intellectuals pushing this agenda from higher up the food chain – and who no doubt have brainwashed these two gullible pawns – understand exactly what they are doing. Generating confusion, particularly in young minds, makes it easier for their totalitarian propaganda to control society; until everyone bows to their great god Marx.
James Lincoln says
Aussie Infidel says,
“Having practised hypnotherapy for many years, I have known of other people (both male and female) whose gender is somewhat indeterminate.”
True enough, but *real* cases – in actuality – are extremely rare.
Nowhere near the 2% of high school students that the CDC claims “identify” as transgender.

……………
Aussie Infidel, I would imagine that Skyler’s deep voice–and five o’clock shadow–are due to taking male hormones. I rather doubt this would have developed otherwise.
Andrew Blackadder says
At the risk of appearing to be a sexual pervert, which I most certainly am not, I have to wonder how the Doctors managed to close of her Vagina and replace it with a Penis, and does this Penis act in the manner of a normal Penis, does it get erect, does it ejaculate sperm, if so does this sperm produce life.
If the ”person” is male and they cut the Penis off and replace it with a Vagina, does it get moist when excited, does it have a clitoris… I really would like to see this surgery completed and then decide if this person can indeed be another sex other that the one they were born as and that is not even taking into consideration of the chromosomes of the human…
However taking all of that aside this is most certainly NOT something children should be taught at such a young age as even this dude said he was 18 years old when he ”came out” though he/she/they/them thought of being a boy even though ”they” had a Vagina all ”their” life..
This is truly satanic and playing with creation.

What possible reason does “he” have for even mentioning this? Confused, addled people like this shouldn’t be near kids. How many “men” actually teach first grade anyway. It’s the XX in him driving his desire in a twisted way, and we’re suppose to go along with this as normal.
OLD GUY says
And this body teaches first grade so it knows everything. I wonder if this teacher has checked to see what gender he or she or it is?
tgusa says
He may have once had aspirations to become a doctor but he didn’t measure up. And so he became a first grade teacher instead. First grade could be taught by a mature and responsible high school student. He shouldn’t even be teaching first grade but there he is and here we are.
