In sum, San Francisco Unified has created what @LeorSapir has called a "a school-to-clinic pipeline," beginning in elementary school with secret child sexual transitions and concluding in middle and high school with referrals to "gender-affirming" medical treatments. — PolitiTweet.org
Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ @realchrisrufo
In middle school, San Francisco Unified begins promoting a program called "Q Groups," which is designed to "connect students to mental health professionals and clinics that offer gender-affirming health services," such as puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and gender surgery. https://t.co/svgsikph9m — PolitiTweet.org

According to district policy, parents do not have the right to opt-out of the lessons on "gender identity" and "sexual orientation," which are incorporated into the curriculum for English, social studies, arts, and other subjects. https://t.co/S2nM1jUpwv — PolitiTweet.org
Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ @realchrisrufo
The district's policy is to facilitate child sexual transitions without notifying parents. "[Students] have the right to be 'out' at school, and to not have that information that they are 'out'—with new pronouns, with a new identity—in any way shared with those folks at home." https://t.co/vzO38DqeSJ — PolitiTweet.org
Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ @realchrisrufo
The district has created a system for facilitating child sexual transitions for its K-5 students, telling children that they may choose a different name and set of pronouns than the ones they use at home, and that this new identity will be kept secret from their parents. https://t.co/TpnRjCZTJA — PolitiTweet.org
Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ @realchrisrufo
The district also released a guide on "affirm[ing]" students who use "it" pronouns, explaining that it "has a long history being used as a slur to dehumanize trans and gender non-conforming folks," but can be "reclaimed," as African-Americans have done with the "n-word." https://t.co/nSzUQ1fqCa — PolitiTweet.org
Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ @realchrisrufo
The district teaches students that they can diverge from from "vanilla sexuality" and become part of the "bisexual umbrella," with sexual identity options including "fluid," "pansexual," "omnisexual," "homo-curious," and "hetero-flexible." https://t.co/FiMNrmMXWV — PolitiTweet.org
Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ @realchrisrufo
According to documents I've obtained from a whistleblower, the district has implemented a radical gender theory curriculum and celebrated "International Pronouns Day," teaching students that they can adopt a wide range of genders and sexual identities. https://t.co/1yQH1Tg3lZ — PolitiTweet.org

SCOOP: San Francisco Unified School District has released a guidebook encouraging teachers to facilitate secret child sexual transitions and to affirm students who use the gender pronoun "it" at school—which, the district says, is the gender-identity version of the "n-word." 🧵 — PolitiTweet.org

@wil_da_beast630 Yup, exactly. Parents are objecting to books that contain pornographic/sexually explicit content and are being *promoted to children.* That's it. — PolitiTweet.org

@janecoaston The whole thread was a discussion about books in public schools and libraries for *children.* And I didn't say "stocking," I said "features," which are not the same. You're free to disagree—and to say "Gender Queer" is good for kids—but honesty would be a good starting point. https://t.co/VZtMksPsPv — PolitiTweet.org

@cvaldary I'm also talking about public institutions, which are chartered by and ultimately subject to the regulation of voters through the legislative process. The critical race theorists want to regulate the *private speech of individuals.* Big difference on both counts. Not comparable. — PolitiTweet.org
Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ @realchrisrufo
@cvaldary (Additionally, the CRTists want to regulate the private speech of individuals. I'm suggesting that public institutions that have compulsory power over minors are ultimately subject to regulation by voters through the democratic process. Completely different standard.) — PolitiTweet.org

@cvaldary No, I'm qualifying it in an important way: I'm talking about *children.* You don't think children's libraries should feature copies of Hustler, Mein Kampf, and the NAMBLA newsletter, do you? — PolitiTweet.org

These books are so "banned," they have their own section at Barnes & Noble. https://t.co/2qjMaTY9hO — PolitiTweet.org
Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ @realchrisrufo
There are no "book bans" in America. Authors have a First Amendment right to publish whatever they want, but public libraries and schools are not obligated to subsidize them. Voters get to decide which texts—and ultimately, which values—public institutions transmit to children. — PolitiTweet.org
Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ @realchrisrufo
@brad_polumbo @kittypurrzog I take the opposite position: symbolic fights are extremely important. It's important to set boundaries within formative institutions—schools, libraries—and then extend protections to society at large, i.e., legislation that makes it harder for minors to access porn online. — PolitiTweet.org
Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ @realchrisrufo
@brad_polumbo @kittypurrzog "Kids have phones, so the library might as well include lightly pornographic titles" is the same line of reasoning as "kids have access to drug dealers in school, so the principal might as well give them OxyContin." Social approval matters; adults must provide good boundaries. — PolitiTweet.org
Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ @realchrisrufo
@brad_polumbo @kittypurrzog In a democracy, the voters who fund public institutions get to decide which values those institutions transmit to children. If a public library features Gender Queer (or Mein Kampf), it's an endorsement. And excluding those books is not a "ban"—they're widely available elsewhere. — PolitiTweet.org

@kittypurrzog Should public children's libraries should include copies of Hustler, Mein Kampf, and the NAMBLA newsletter on their shelves? — PolitiTweet.org

@SwipeWright This whole thing is bonkers. I think part of it is the "labcoat effect": doctors can launder their personal kinks through a medical journal and they're golden. — PolitiTweet.org
