Vigilantly protect your child from indoctrination

• Explore alternatives to government schools. Public School Exit seeks to facilitate the exodus of American children and families from government-controlled education by educating the public and helping families.
• Know that schools around the country are starting to implement “Transition Closets”. These closets enable students to go to school in their typical clothing and change into donated clothing that matches their gender-identity – all without parental knowledge or consent. Students are being socially transitioned in public schools by teachers and administrators using opposite pronouns and changed names with zero parental involvement or approval. If your child attends public school, it is time for frank conversations with teachers, administrators, and school board members regarding this issue. It’s up to you to decide if you trust your child with these individuals and whether or not your child can withstand a pervasive social contagion that is being spurred on by professional-level activist groomers.
• The Gender Sexuality Allies (GSA) after-school club that meets in your school district is not a benign support group for kids that simply encourages kindness, inclusion, and diversity. It is a local chapter of a well-funded, professionally staffed, political organization whose main goal is to establish radical Left-wing ideology in all areas of public education.
• Limit your child’s screen time.  The introduction of the smart phone has been overwhelmingly negative for children and teens.  Not only is it a major factor in the meteoric rise in anxiety and depression among youth, but it is a direct portal to predators, pornography and political indoctrination.  Trans activists who will welcome your child with open arms are just a YouTube click away.  They assure struggling teens that their discomfort with their lives and their bodies will go away once they start the transition process.  TikTok has thousands of videos that glamorize being transgender.  Kids and teens are simply not equipped to handle social media in general, much less the professional-level grooming that takes place online.  They aren’t equipped to be in contact with their friends 24/7.  What they need is face to face time with family and friends.  To play outside.  To challenge their minds and attention spans by reading books – actual,  physical books with no pictures.  Adults, let’s relearn what it’s like to live without a phone glued to our side and our faces, and let’s lead the way to a healthier and happier life for our children.
• Disciple your children. The primary responsibility to train a child up in the way he should go cannot be outsourced to Sunday school teachers and Christian schools.  Activists are working around the clock to disciple the next generation into secular progressivism and complete obedience to an increasingly wicked and authoritarian government.  Imparting values that run counter to our culture requires as much, if not more, effort than the well-funded elites who are dedicated to capturing the hearts and minds of the next generation.

Be willing to do what it takes

• Don’t buy your child a smartphone. If they need a phone, consider buying one without internet access, social media, or third-party apps.
• Don’t relinquish your authority as the parent.
• Don’t tolerate Gender Ideology in your child’s education.
• Reintroduce privacy into the home. Refrain from oversharing your family’s life on social media. Exemplify for your child that it is not necessary to make big personal announcements on social media.
• Consider big steps to separate your child from the harmful social contagion of the transgender movement. This may mean pulling your child from school and/or moving temporarily or permanently if they insist on their perceived transgender identity.
• Remind your child that going through puberty is uncomfortable for almost everyone. Remind them that it is a temporary stage in their lives, but it is a necessary, natural, and beneficial process in their physical, emotional, and intellectual development.
• Do not affirm your child’s changed name and/or pronouns. Be their reality check and make it as easy as possible for them to change their mind once they mature out of this phase.
