On Oct. 19, Republican Club members were honored to have Brenda Lebsack to speak about unlimited gender choices taught to kindergartners in public schools. Lebsack is a public school teacher in Santa Ana Unified School District, a former school board member of Orange Unified 2016-2020, and was the state delegate for the National Educators Association Convention this past summer, July 2022. Her website, www.Brenda4kids.com, shows examples of curriculum, books and documents from the California Department of Education (CDE), the CDC and Teachers’ Union which are taught to kindergartners in public schools. Videos are also provided. Becauseherhusband is a Nazarene minister, Lebsack started an organization called the Interfaith Catholic Statewide Coalition ( www. Interfaith4kids. com) where Jewish, Muslim, Mormon, Christian and Catholic clergy of varied races and language groups unite and oppose the gender indoctrination and sexualization of children through the schools.
Together, they created a video: “Diverse Voices Say ‘School Choice,’” which is on YouTube.
During the meeting, Lebsack covered:
• Books are in school libraries teaching children that their gender changes like the weather based on their feelings and that there are infinite pronouns.
• Mental Health Workers from outside agencies are partnering with school districts and are trained to affirm any gender identity or pronoun a child chooses (including gender fluidity).
• Parents are not told about a child’s gender identity without the child’s permission (age not a factor).
• In 2019, the CDE Revised Health Framework passed a term called spiritual abuse, defined as “using religion to justify gender is exclusively binary–male/female.” Thus the CDE concludes that the nonaffirmation of many genders is considered harmful.
For better understanding of these concepts and more, Lebsack recommends her sixminute video: “School Choice Now” which is on her website www.Brenda4kids.com or her YouTube channel, Brenda Lebsack.
The Republican Club Booth schedule is open from Nov. 1-8.
Sealed ballots can be received at this location. Ballots are guaranteed to be delivered in person to Registrar of Voters Office in Santa Ana everyday through Nov. 8.
