SCHOOL IGNORES PARENTS, GIVES 11 YEAR OLDS “LGBT” WORK~”I AM JAZZ” TRANSGENDER BOOK FOR YOUNG CHILDREN EXPOSED

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:

From FreedomProject Media:
Students as young as 11-years old in a suburb of Atlanta were forced
to complete “homework” and a “quiz” dealing with “sexual orientation”
and “gender identity” — even after their parents tried to “opt out.”
According to news reports, outraged parents apparently did not realize
what government schools were “teaching” these days.
The controversial homework assignment, handed out in Georgia’s DeKalb
County School District, included questions about the proper terminology
used to refer to men who are attracted to men (“gay”), women who are
attracted to women (“lesbian”), and people who are attracted to both men
and women (“bisexual”).
Students were also expected to know that “queer” is a “broad term
that can include gay, lesbian, and bisexual people, as well as others
who don’t identify as straight.” Meanwhile, a “person who identifies as a
woman” is apparently supposed to be referred to as a “female” (even if
this person is a male) and “a person who identifies as a man” is
supposedly a “male,” even if this person has female chromosomes.
Apparently, to the gender theorists, homosexual attractions are
inborn and immutable, while biological chromosomes can be overridden
based on how a person chooses to “identify.”

For whosoever shall offend one of these little
ones which believe in me, it were better for him that millstone were
hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depths of the
sea. (Matthew 10:6)

Perhaps, you’ve heard of the Sacramento, California
charter school Rocklin Academy where a kindergarten teacher read the
transgender picture book I Am Jazz, and who, after reading it,
presented a little boy to the class as now being a little girl.  You can
imagine how perplexing and unsettling this incident was to these little
ones, as well as to their uninformed parents.
Recently, a board meeting at the school caused a
huge confrontation between upset parents and a defensive teacher and
school board.  In the end, the board boldly asserted that topics dealing
with “gay, lesbian and transgender issues” are open for discussion at
Rocklin, and that parents may not always be notified before such
discussions occur. The board also maintained that opting out of these
discussions promotes a “discriminatory environment … prohibited by law.”
With this incident in mind here are some questions:  What exactly is in this innocuous looking picture book I Am Jazz? 
Who are its authors?  What organizations are supporting this book?  How
should Christian parents, and teachers respond? Will you be an
upstander or a bystander? To answer these questions and more, here is a
brief review of the book, the so-called “essential tool for parents and
teachers.”

I Am Jazz— Co-Author Jessica Herthel

Jessica Herthel, its co-author, is a Broward County,
Florida  mom of three, and an all-out advocate of the transgender
agenda.  Herthel, having met Jazz’s mom at a community function, soon
formed a friendship with her and her little boy who became “a trans
girl” renamed “Jazz.” Herthel then went on to co-write the book,
along with Jazz, telling what it is like to be a trans kid.

As a result of writing I Am Jazz Herthel
has become a recognized LGBTQ advocate on many fronts.  It began with
her volunteering for the Florida Broward County Schools (sixth largest
district in the USA) where soon she was designing inclusive lesson
plans, and purchasing diverse books for elementary classrooms.  Later,
she became the primary content editor of “Broward County’s LGBTQ
Critical Support Guide” presented to all district administrators in
2014.  After, Herthel worked as the Education Director at the Stonewall
National Museum and Archives in Fort Lauderdale, Florida,  which is a
nonprofit that shares the culture of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and
transgender people, and the role they play in society.

Beyond Florida Herthel travels nationwide spreading the trans kids agenda using I Am Jazz
as a jumping off point.  This message has taken her to such diverse
places as: Mt. Horeb Public Library, Mt. Horeb, WI (The Mt. Horeb School
System refused to allow her to read I Am Jazz in a public
school setting so it was read in the public library.); Temple Bat Yahm,
New Port Beach, CA (This is a welcoming Jewish congregation for all
including the LGBT community.); and The Human Rights Campaign “Time to
Thrive” Conference in Dallas, TX. (HRC partnered with the National
Education Association and the American Counseling Association to reach
out to LBGTQ Youth).

It must be noted the Human Rights Campaign
considers Jazz Jennings their foundation “Youth Ambassador.”  Coming
this December 7, 2017 HRC is sponsoring an “I Am Jazz: School and Community Readings” all over the nation at many venues.  Besides, HRC has a web site www.welcomingschools.org with lesson plans to aid in creating LBGTQ-inclusive schools.  Its “Top 10 Books for a Welcoming School” includes I Am Jazz and
an accompanying lesson.   Readers, I would urge you, to click on this
site to view this invasive school agenda–while it gives the appearance
of being about safe schools and stopping bullying, much of the its
materials are about other causes.

I Am Jazz–Its Transgender Agenda

I Am Jazz ( Ages 4-8) is “a picture book lure,” based on the actual life experiences of Jazz Jennings
designed to be read to preschool through grade
three introducing them to transgender ideas.  Herthel begins by
presenting Jazz as a “girl” whose favorite color is pink, and who
likes girly things like drawing, dancing, and putting on make up.  Most
of all Jazz is mesmerized by “mermaids.”

Now, Jazz’s best friends are Casey and Samantha with
whom Jazz plays dress up in high heels and princess gowns.  They also
do fun things like turning cart wheels, or jumping on trampolines. 
However, as a “sad-faced Jazz” says, “But, I’m not exactly like Samantha
and Casey.”

To explain, there’s a page of kids’ drawings
showing a very unhappy Jazz.  Below this, Herthel unleashes these
troubling sentences:  “I have a girl brain, but a boy body.  This is
called transgender.  I was born this way.”

Herthel records Jazz’s transition saga as a two year
old boy starting with Jazz’s mom saying he was a good boy, and him
correcting her as he retorted, “No Mama.  Good GIRL!”  Herthel also
writes, “At first my family was confused.  They’d always thought of me
as a boy.”   

The next pages show Jazz’s brothers and sister.  His
brothers comment that his dress up antics are “girls stuff;” while his
sister comments that his girl thoughts, dreams, and ambitions made him
“a funny kid.”

Whenever, he went out, the text continues, his
parents had him wear his “boy clothes” which made him mad!  One then
hears this startling thought, “Pretending I was a boy felt like telling a
lie.”  Talk about confusion.  Just imagine a child’s puzzlement to this
thought.

Then came “an amazing day” when all was changed for
his parents took him to a doctor who asked many questions.  There, says
the text, he heard the word “transgender” for the first time.* 
Listeners, at this point, have heard the term “transgender twice,” and
are now told this revelation was part of “an amazing day.”

*  His parents heard the words: “Gender Dysphoria.”

That night, relates Jazz, for the first time his parents told him to “Be who you are.” This caused
him to smile and smile as he went to bed dressed in a
girl’s nightgown.  Do what you want, and whatever makes you happy is
the sense one gets here, making one think of Judges 17:6 that reads,
“… every man did that which was right in his own eyes.” 

The book fast forwards to Jazz at school.  Here,
like Jazz’s family, his friends and teachers were “confused.”  Upset
with his teacher, Jazz found it hard to have to use the boy’s bathroom,
and be on the boy’s teams.  Jazz longs to be with Casey and Samantha.
Finally, the teachers change their minds allowing Jazz to use the girl’s
rest room and to play sports with the girls.

At this point Jazz shares how mean some of the
children are.  “This,” says Jazz, “makes me feel crummy.”  Here of
course, the teacher would stop and talk about not bullying, or making
fun of someone who is different.  The listeners are made to take sides
with Jazz for “being different like this is special!” To end, a beaming
Jazz declares, “I am having fun.  I am proud.  I am Jazz.”
