"Children's Hospital" charges school districts thousands of dollars to teach them how to instruct children in... an@l sex.

An Illinois children's hospital is charging school districts thousands of dollars for a sex education workshop that features lessons on how to teach kids about anal sex and gender identity, according to documents obtained through a public records request by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago is charging school districts up to $1,500 for a presentation to educators on "inclusive sexual health ed practices" that promotes the National Sexuality Education Standards (NSES), a K-12 sexual education curriculum, according to a copy of the presentation obtained by the DCNF through a public records request. The presentation recommends that fifth graders should learn several different sexual orientations, while eighth graders should be taught about anal and oral sex.

The NSES, which the presentation notes is in line with Illinois law if schools choose to adopt it, was created by a coalition of organizations part of the Future of Sex Education (FoSE) Initiative, including several LGBTQ activist groups and Planned Parenthood.

The Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago charges public schools for several services, including a "student facing" presentation for $150, a question-and-answer workshop for $750 and an "inclusive sexual health ed practices" seminar that can either be "$1500 for one 90 minute workshop or $1000 per 90 minute workshop for a series," according to a November 2022 email from a hospital official to an administrator with Kildeer Countryside Community Consolidated School District 96.

...

Under the NSES, by eighth grade, students should be able to define anal, oral and vaginal sex as well as explain several sexual orientation definitions including "heterosexual, bisexual, lesbian, gay, queer, two-spirit, asexual [and] pansexual," the presentation states. The hospital presentation notes that the standards require fifth graders to be able to distinguish the difference between sex assigned at birth and gender identity.

The NSES notes that fifth graders should also be able to explain that "gender expression and gender identity exist along a spectrum," as well as be able to evaluate how gender stereotypes may impact themselves and others, the presentation states.

...

When talking about puberty with fifth and sixth graders, the presentation advises educators to use gender-neutral language such as "people who menstruate," "people with penises," "people with testicles" and "people with vulvas." The presentation offers sample slides for fifth and sixth-grade sexual education lessons on testicle and vulva anatomy.

This hospital of horrors are being funded by the trans-extremist Pritzker family that controls Illinois politics.

A professor alleges he was fired for teaching the religious heresy of human biology.

Varkey told CBN's Faithwire the college informed him of an ethics complaint in January and terminated him just weeks later, purportedly without allowing him to learn the precise reason for his firing.

Furthermore, Varkey said he had no opportunity to offer any defense.

"On the 12th of January, I received an email from the vice president of the department of the school that they are doing an ethics violation investigation on me," he said. "So, I responded to his email and asked him, 'What are the complaints?'"

Varkey said he was told he would hear from human resources but alleges no one contacted him until Jan. 27, when he was given a termination letter.

The professor, who taught more than 1,500 students about human biology since taking the position in 2003, was left to postulate about the root cause of his firing. In November, he told a class sex is determined by chromosomes X and Y, a biological fact.

Oh no -- not that.

Anything but that.

A few students walked out of the classroom, leading him to ponder whether this was the catalyst of the complaints at the center of his termination.

...

But Varkey said he was "surprised and shocked" by his dismissal. He's been teaching the same realities about the human reproductive system for two decades, and this is reportedly the first time he has experienced a negative reaction.

...

Russell told CBN's Faithwire she and First Liberty decided to take the case for various reasons, but mainly found it compelling Varkey had been teaching for so long without incident. Beyond that, she said there is an understanding the case "probably has a lot to do with the new cultural trends on these issues."

"When I saw the termination letter, and I see that the university is accusing him of religious preaching ... I think that what they don't understand is, even if he was, they still can't fire him for saying something that he believes to be true," she said. "One of the things he said was that life begins at conception."

The New Scientific Religion teaches us that life begins with a child's first hormone-blocker injection.

The British police are quietly documenting a large number of sex crimes against children perpetrated by... um, "women."

"Queering Jesus" is going mainstream at progressive "churches."

Vignettes from progressive Christianity today:

* A Presbyterian church goes viral online for marking the Transgender Day of  Visibility with a public prayer to the "God of Pronouns." The congregants of the church, First Presbyterian of Iowa City, pay obeisance to "the God of Trans Being," giving due glory to "the Great They/Them."

* The United Methodist Church boasts the first drag queen in the world to become a certified candidate for ordination. This traveling minister, who describes drag ministry as a "divine duty," is lauded by a Florida pastor as "an angel in heels" after appearing in that church in a sequin dress to deliver a children's sermon and denounce the privilege of Whiteness and cis-ness.

* At Duke University's Methodist-affiliated divinity school, pastors-in-training and future religious leaders conduct a Pride worship service in which they glorify the Great Queer One, Fluid and Ever-Becoming One. The service leads off with a prayer honoring God as queerness incarnate: "You are drag queen and transman and genderfluid, incapable of limiting your vast expression of beauty."

* And the Presbyterian News Service offers online educational series such as "Queering the Bible" (2022) and "Queering the Prophets" (2023) during Pride Month. A commentary in the former refers to Jesus as "this eccentric ass freak" who challenged first-century gender norms.

These examples from this year and last are just a few illustrating how progressive churches are moving beyond gay rights, even beyond transgender acceptance, and venturing into the realm of "queer theology." Rather than merely settling for the acceptance of gender-nonconforming people within existing marital norms and social expectations, queer theology questions heterosexual assumptions and binary gender norms as limiting, oppressive and anti-biblical, and centers queerness as the redemptive message of Christianity.

The largest teachers union in America recommends that its members read Gender Queer.

So that they can indoctrinate their students, of course.

The National Education Association (NEA) on Monday recommended that teachers include the controversial book "Gender Queer" on their summer reading lists.

The book was featured in the NEA's "Great Summer Reads for Educators!" list that showcased 11 books. Among those books are "White Fragility," a book that insists that White Americans use anger, shame and guilt to avoid taking responsibility for racial inequality.

Other sections included "books to help you forget about work" and "books to celebrate or help you understand Juneteenth."

Under the "banned books" section, Gender Queer is recommended as a reading.

"Gender Queer" has as courted major controversy among America parents for being in public school libraries throughout the U.S. and has been challenged for its depictions and descriptions of oral sex as well as discussions on masturbation.

Fox News Digital previously reported on Gender Queer's author, Maia Kobabe, defending the sexually explicit graphic images in the memoir during an interview with NPR in January.

"And I honestly think the book is a lot less explicit than it could be," Kobabe told NPR.

"The topic of gender touches on identity... and it touches on sexuality," Kobabe continued. "And it's hard to fully explain I think what like how a gender identity can impact every facet of life as an adult without touching at least a little bit on sexuality. And I wanted to at least not to like shy away from that."

A California high school has suspended two students for five days for "misgendering" a teacher.

The Newspeak word "misgendering" of course means "correctly gendering" in the English language.

The "misgendering" incident reportedly occurred at Herbert Hoover High School in the Glendale Unified School District just north of Los Angeles.

The school also made the kids undergo "restorative justice" training, an email allegedly sent by former Principal Jennifer Earl on May 24, 2022, appears to show. The email was first reported this week by GUSD Parents Voices, a group that says it works to "support children's educational goals and development" in the Glendale school district.

"I suspended two students for five days each today and will be conducting RJ with students and teacher for the following," Earl wrote in her email, according to the screenshot from GUSD Parents Voices.

"The students (not enrolled in his class) entered [the teacher's] classroom one at a time and called him [a gender]. The teacher responded it is [a different gender identity] After doing so, they ran away. In interviewing them, they admitted to being curious about a transgender person. I asked my teacher how he wanted to handle it, if he wanted me to just teach them about misgendering or would he like me to speak about being trans. He asked me to educate on transgender. It was well received from students and parents. RJ will happen after suspension," Earl added.

A spokesperson for the Glendale school district said a student can be suspended if using the wrong pronoun escalates to harassment.

"A student has never been punished, much less suspended, for accidentally using the wrong pronoun to refer to a peer or staff member. However, a student could be suspended if the action escalated to harassment or bullying," a district spokesperson told Fox News.

That's a yes.
