North Carolina: LGBTQ-Themed Flash Cards Were Used in a Preschool Classroom

A teacher at Ballentine Elementary School in a preschool classroom reportedly used LGBTQ+ themed flash cards that featured a drawing of a pregnant man to teach the children colors. Preschool age children range 3 to 5 years old. The school’s principal removed the flash cards were determined to not be part of the the district’s Pre-K curriculum and were used without the Principal’s knowledge and/or approval. The news release comes as state Senate Republicans are moving ahead with legislation that would include new school rules such as preventing sexual orientation and gender identity from being discussed as part of the curriculum in K-3 classrooms.

The Wake County school system is investigating how LGBTQ-themed flash cards were used in a preschool classroom, saying the items were inappropriate for children that age. In a news release Friday from N.C. House Speaker Tim Moore, state Rep. Erin Paré says a constituent emailed her saying that LGBTQIA+ themed flash cards, including one it says showed a pregnant man, were used to teach colors to children in a preschool class at Ballentine Elementary School in Fuquay-Varina. The flash card shows a drawing of a pregnant person with short hair. The school’s principal removed the cards after being contacted by the lawmaker. In a statement Friday, Wake said the materials have been removed from the school and the district is reviewing the matter. “The district is concerned to learn of the inappropriate instructional resource found in a preschool classroom,” the school district said in the statement. “In order to help fulfill the educational goals and objectives of the school system, we strive to provide high quality instructional materials that will enrich and support the curriculum and enhance student learning. “An initial review determined that flash cards were not tied to the district’s Pre-K curriculum, did not complement, enrich, or extend the curriculum and were used without the Principal’s review, knowledge, and/or approval.”

As a NC State Representative I have to say this is not representative of NC. Unfortunately the outlier get the attention. The Dems push the envelope as far as they can but we fight back.

I keep wondering at what point most people walk away from the psycho far lefties and realize the Democrat party has been completely hijacked. They are the equivalent of poison to our youth. Get your kids out of these schools!
