NYC private schools introduce ‘sexuality curriculum’ in kindergarten
Elite private schools in New York City are implementing gender-identity programs and sexuality curriculums for students as young as four and five years old, according to The New York Post. The publication found that some of the city’s top private schools, such as Dalton School, are even asking about a child’s gender identity and preferred pronouns on their kindergarten admissions applications. One education consultant told The Post that this move is part of a broader effort to sexualize younger and younger children. Leftist nonprofits and corporate interests are among those pushing gender ideology on young children, according to Jay Richards, a senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation. Critics argue that this is part of a “radical ideology of expressive individualism” and that schools are putting financial interests ahead of the well-being of their students.
