Christian faith leader Franklin
Graham, chief of the Samaritan’s Purse aid organization, on Friday asked his
supporters – and there are millions of them – to contact members of the school
board in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg district in North Carolina.
Why? They have adopted the use of a
“Gender Unicorn” to “brainwash” children into accepting that homosexuality and
transgender behavior is all right, he said.
This is just the latest chapter in
the developing war over just that activity – imposing a homosexual agenda and
belief system on public schools in America. It had been advancing on several
fronts for years before earlier this year when President Obama abruptly ordered
public schools to let girls into boys’ rooms and boys into girls’ showers –
depending only on whatever gender they claimed to be.
The mandate was supposed to have
come from federal nondiscrimination law that banned discrimination against
girls based on their sex. It presumes that Congress, when it adopted that law
decades ago, intended for boys and girls to be showering alongside each other
in public schools.
There have been multiple lawsuits
over the issue, and the U.S. Supreme Court just this week agreed to review one
of the disputes, ordering the status quo – meaning boys in boys’ rooms and
girls in girls’ rooms – be maintained for now.

WND
also reported just this week that Pastor Carl Gallups, author of “Be
Thou Prepared: Equipping the Church for Persecution and Times of Trouble,” is offering a “Notice
of Compliance Letter” to be used by parents to protect
their non-transgendered children. It has been downloaded thousands of times
already.
He pointed out that Obama’s own
instruction to schools was that they have “a responsibility to provide a safe
and nondiscriminatory environment for all students, including transgender
students.”
Furthermore, “harassment that
targets a student based on gender identity, transgender status, or gender
transition is harassment based on sex, and the departments enforce Title IX
accordingly,” the Obama administration said. See the letter that Gallups has proposed.
Gallups points out that parents of
non-transgender students can demand the same protections for their students.
And he says they should.
On Facebook, Graham wrote. “The
Gender Unicorn? Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools in North Carolina wants to try to
brainwash our children into accepting that homosexuality and transgender
behavior is okay – and their using an innocent looking Gender Unicorn to do it.
“Parents, watch out. They are using
this unicorn to grab the imagination of children and make this seem acceptable.
Their new school policy, set to go into
effect August 29, says staff shouldn’t use the terms ‘girls’ and ‘boys,’ but
should use ‘scholars’ or ‘students.’ It says that the school will work with
students to determine when parents should be involved and that the staff can’t
tell parents what their [child’s] gender identity is without the student’s
permission. “Parents should be enraged and so should we,” Graham wrote.
“The Communists used brainwashing in
Eastern Europe and Russia, and they took the parents out of the decision-making
process and the state began to make decisions about morality. This is a
dangerous path,” Graham wrote.
“Check out the link below – everyone
should be aware of what’s going on. You can be sure that these battles are
being fought in your community as well, and if not, they’re just around the
corner. Be praying for the August 9 Charlotte school board meeting, and if you
live in Mecklenburg County make it a priority to attend.
“Every school board members’ email
address is in the link – you need to contact them and let them know how
outrageous this is,” he wrote. Linked in his post was a
page of the Keep NCSafe campaign,
which highlighted the schools training presentation on homosexuality. It lists gender
identity, offering children the option of “other.” The same option is available
for “gender expression” and “sex assigned at birth.”
The campaign states, “Meet the
gender unicorn. This was included in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools training
presentation on handling transgender issues under the new CMS policy that goes
into effect on August 29th. It’s startling that the school district feels they
have sovereignty to directly disobey state statute as outlined in HB2, but some
of the stuff in here is shocking.” For example, whether parents are involved,
or are even told, of what the student is doing at school is dependent on what
the student wants.
Further, they can choose their
changing rooms as will.
Said the campaign, “It’s a serious
offense for Charlotte-Mecklenburg schools to openly ignore and violate state
statute and the common-sense safety and privacy protections HB2 affords
children. But it’s a whole other level to guide teachers on keeping parents in
the dark, and allowing students to choose which dressing room they use, or
which gender they’ll stay with at overnight field trips.”
