Gender Unicorns: Coming Soon to a Classroom Near You…

What is an X-rated, gay sex columnist doing in a California elementary school? Ask the San Ramon Valley Unified School District. In a stunning move, officials at the Rancho Romero Elementary School made a “gender unicorn” bulletin board and peppered it with quotes from disgusting and disgraced LGBTQ activist Dan Savage. But if administrators thought no one would notice, they were wrong.

Parents flooded the school with complaints, so many Fox News’s Todd Starnes explained, that administrators had no choice but to take the offensive statements down. “For him to be a role model for 4-year-olds to 11-year-olds is utterly disgusting,” an anonymous parent told Todd Starnes Radio Show. Savage, whose “anti-bullying” videos were a favorite of President Obama’s and Hollywood, turned out to be the biggest bully of all. When he had a platform, Savage used it to humiliate students and curse faith. At one high school assembly, his tirade was so vicious and vulgar that it reduced some girls to tears.

Apart from being offensive, Savage’s message is also ineffective. Just last year, researchers like Professor Russell Toomey found that “Cognitive-based strategies, such as [Dan Savage’s] ‘It Gets Better’ approach, were associated with poorer adjustment and less likelihood of high school attainment.” In fact, he went on, “Our findings question the ‘It Gets Better’ narrative that’s been given to LGBT youth. Asking youth to accept negative experiences as the only coping strategy potentially exacerbates stress.”

Either way, as California parents told Todd, “He’s not someone you want to put up at an elementary school.” Of course, Savage and company aren’t always so blatant about their agenda. One of the subtle ways they’ve been getting their message in front of little kids is with their “gender unicorn,” one of the prominent features of Rancho Romero’s display. “A unicorn — an object loved by little children — was used to lure them to the bulletin board,” the parent said. “It felt like it was a creepy way to lure a child over to the board and confuse them about gender.” Fortunately, moms and dads in the district were paying attention.
