A California school recently gave students "gender identity" classes featuring "single-sex geckos and transgender clownfish." An outside group called Gender Spectrum taught the lessons with a grant from the California Teachers Union to teach the 350 children at the Oakland Redwood Heights Elementary School.

Fox News reporters were allowed to observe classes taught to kindergartners and 4th graders by Gender Spectrum director, Joel Baum. The name "Gender Spectrum" reflects the definition of "gender identity" Baum taught the students. "'Gender identity' is a spectrum where people can be girls, feel like girls, they feel like boys, they feel like both, or they can feel like neither," he said. "Gender identity is one's own sense of themselves. Do they know themselves to be a girl? Do they know themselves to be a boy? Do they know themselves to be a combination?"

Article complains about misinformation and propaganda and then is mostly comprised of the same. It is a shame that too many people will associate American College of Pediatricians' as something other than a religious anti-LGBT group.

I got to meet Joel Baum when he gave his Gender Spectrum presentation at my family's church. It was a great presentation, but I can see why Fox "News" would trash it.

And from my own experience, the information put forth by Mr. Baum was extremely accurate.

This blog post is, to me, little more than hate-filled drivel.

Suggestion to Fox News -- quit putting your foot into peoples mouths  and they won't get the urge to vomit as readily.   Feeding poison will get people killed!!  Easy!!

But then again, death and destruction and sickness sell news articles!!  So I see why you keep it up!!
