Editor,
It appears that our institutions have taken up a strange new fascination with gender topics and have decided they know what is best for families.
Editor,
It appears that our institutions have taken up a strange new fascination with gender topics and have decided they know what is best for families.
Three recent examples have concerned me:
1). I was at CuriOdyssey with my little girls earlier this week. We enjoy the well-curated science exhibits, the zoo and the friendly staff. This time, I noticed posters for drag-queen story hours to introduce children to “the fascinating world of gender fluidity.” Really? How is this in line with CuriOdyssey’s mission to “Inspire love for science and curiosity about the world to create a brighter future?”
2). Coach Steve Sell from Aragon High School has decided for the rest of the school and county that he knows best about topics of gender fairness in sports, completely ignoring concerns from parents and rulings from World Athletics (international sports governing association) and give labels to whoever disagrees with his views.
3). Assembly Bill 957, currently being discussed in the state Assembly, will make it a crime if parents don’t “affirm” their children’s chosen identity and provide for “gender-affirming” care. In effect, parents may lose custody if their 7-year-old child (example stated in the Assembly discussion) has announced to them they wish to transition to another gender.
Are there not enough hard topics for our leaders to deal with or is this a new “frankensteined” version of the Democratic party in our state?

Amit, thanks for your continued letters and comments on these gender topics. Seems we have more and more experts on the subject who tell us what’s best, as they ignore the girls/women affected by their short-sighted and prejudicial views. Of course, right now, I’d imagine Democrats are more interested in pushing out any issue as long as it detracts from the Biden crime family and their America Last policies.
I'm a registered Democrat but have grown increasingly concerned with the left's handling of gender issues. It's totally out of step with reality. I believe the majority of Democrats are asleep and don't realize how anti-science and anti-woman gender ideology is.
Thank you for highlighting these particular cases. I will not be going to Curiodyssey again. What a shame -- my sons like the owls.
Thanks for your comment! CuriOdyssey does many good things, please consider writing to their leadership to express your concerns. I have done the same. If children and parents are not asking for drag-queen story hour at CuriOdyssey, then who is?
