Another scam. Michigan commercial fishers can’t catch Walleye but Canadians catch 14 million pounds of it and sell it back to us at $8 lb. Gets worse. Michigan Taxpayers pay 1.5 million to restock Walleye in our lakes so only Canada can catch them. @MichiganDNR
11-Year-Olds Forced to Learn Gender Ideology Under New State Standards
The Department of Education wants to make sure your children support all “gender expressions”
By Emily Richett @EmilyRichett
The Michigan Department of Education has proposed an overhaul of health education standards to be taught in classrooms across the state, the first update since 2007.
According to the MDE, the update is meant to “better reflect current trends, terminology, and best practices” and to be “more culturally responsive,” especially around nutrition, safety, and emotional health.
On paper, that sounds reasonable. But buried within the document for grades six through eight are topics that go well beyond typical health education. The new draft standards introduce gender ideology for children as young as 11 and 12, teaching that gender is fluid, attraction can change over time, and that schools should identify and support policies related to all “gender expressions.”
The section on sexual health for middle schoolers reads:
- Define gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation, and explain that they’re distinct components of every individual’s identity.
- Explain how biological sex, gender identity, and gender expression are distinct concepts and how they interact with each other.
- Explain that romantic, emotional, and/or sexual attractions can be toward an individual of the same gender and/or different gender(s), and that attractions can change over time.
Another section raises some valid concerns:
- Analyze the similarities and differences between friendships, romantic relationships, and sexual relationships and discuss various ways to show affection within different relationships.
I think I’ll pass on having children discuss with their teachers how to show sexual affection with adults and peers.
Another section also directs high schoolers to:
- Identify and support school and community policies that promote respect for all gender identities and expressions.
Districts will supposedly have flexibility in how they implement these standards, with parental input on sex education. But if history is any indicator, it’s likely to fly under the radar, with few parents even realizing they can weigh in.
Remember, as parents, we have the right to review and opt out of all sexual health education.
The most important thing we can do today is give our feedback. Public comment on the proposed health education standards closes October 10.
Funny how you probably haven’t heard much about it. It’s almost like they didn’t want parents to know.

Whether your children attend public school or not, this affects all of us. These standards shape what’s considered normal in classrooms and youth programs across the state. Homeschooling and private education are great options, but we also have to keep fighting for the schools that belong to all of our kids.
@conservmillen And so many of us would have LOVED such a childhood but didn’t have it- the agnostic homes with a loving upbringing but devoid of Jesus. I would have appreciated being led to higher virtue over more modern, hands off parenting that ultimately followed culture over religion.

@HabitExamples Option 3:
Normalize big opportunities.
Get used to being in situations that could have a big upside or none at all.
The more you do it, the more you can calmly believe “If not this one, then the next!”
