Vermont School District Funds Gender Program

 

A school district in Vermont has partnered with a radical gay-activist group and is using tax dollars to encourage students to attend an after-school program called "Gendertopia."

Instead of learning about the two biological sexes, about a dozen students from Burlington School District are learning about "a whole world full of different genders" at Vermont's Queer Youth Center, The Associated Press reported.

The program is among the first of its kind to use tax dollars, according to Outright Vermont, which runs the program.

Steve Cable, the founder of the pro-family Vermont Renewal, said he does not support the group's focus on promoting homosexuality and "transgenderism" to kids.

"It just makes me really nervous that sexuality and these very complicated social behaviors are being normalized and talked about with kids who haven't figured out even their life yet," Cable told The AP. "I know Outright Vermont promotes all gender identities and expression of gender identities, no matter how weird that might be."

This year, Vermont became the first state to legalize homosexual "marriage" through the Legislature, which makes it easier for this kind of promotion of homosexuality and "transgenderism" in public schools.
