The Colorado Republican Party called on parents Tuesday to remove their children from the state’s public schools, citing “LGBTQ indoctrination.”
“Our next policy aims to save Colorado’s children from progressive Democrats who want to turn more kids trans by requiring teachers to use ‘pronouns’ that don’t make sense and cause gender confusion,” according to a fundraising email from funds sent by the state Republican Party.
In the email, the party takes issue with a new law recently signed by Democratic Gov. Jared Polis that requires teachers to use a student’s preferred pronouns without notification or permission from a guardian.
“In reality, all Colorado parents should aim to withdraw their children from public education,” the email says.
“The bill, sponsored by four far-left progressives, two of whom do not know their own gender and have no children, requires public school teachers to use ‘pronouns’ for gender-confused children that do not align with its real scientific science. gender, without parental consent.”
The school choice movement has gained momentum in recent years, with dozens of states passing laws that make it easier for parents to homeschool their children or send them to private institutions.
The party encourages those who believe their rights are being violated to look into religious exemptions and highlighted a case in California where a teacher won a lawsuit against a policy that required her to use students’ preferred pronouns.
“The objective here is clear; the Colorado legislature seeks to break up the family unit while convincing children that the government knows what is best,” the party said in the email.
