Toxic Empathy: How Progressives Exploit Christian Compassion

by Allie Beth Stuckey

Sex education in American public schools that teaches the existence of “gender identity” is pervasive. For example, California’s Newport-Mesa Unified School District employs a sex-ed curriculum that includes the use of the “Genderbread Identity,” a childlike depiction of a gingerbread man that attempts to draw a distinction between anatomy and gender.[6] In some school districts, these ideas are taught to students as young as pre-K.[7] According to journalist Christopher Rufo, over four thousand schools in the United States host gender and sexuality clubs. The stated mission of the national GSA organization is to abolish the American judicial system, as well as “cisgender heterosexual patriarchy.”[8] School and public libraries across the country offer books related to gender transition to children, including sexually explicit works like Lawn Boy and Gender Queer.[9] In 2023, an elementary school in Missouri allowed a classroom reading of I Am Jazz to second graders without parental consent.[10] The book illustrates the story of a boy, Jazz Jennings, whose parents helped him “become” a girl as a child.
