OR Dept of Education Refers Children to Secretive Chats Supporting Polyamorous Relationships, Activism and More
Can't have parents seeing it, so the chat has a "Quick Escape" button
Disclaimer: For those haters out there, let’s just get it out of the way right now: I do not hate any LGBTQIA+ people. Kids, adults, anyone, anywhere, I do not hate them. You be you, and I’m not telling you not to be (unless you’re telling me I can’t be me). My issue is the school participation in engaging with and advocating for LGBTQIA+ issues. In my view, it’s simply not their role, especially at the childhood education level. The school system should not know or care about ANYONE’s sexual orientation. And the school’s involvement in propagating questionable services toward children with little to no rigor around them is of special concern to me, as it relates to this story.
Arizona, on a number of occasions, has found itself on the wrong side of parents’ rights and getting roasted online for it, and you might wonder what concern of mine or Oregon’s is it that anything happens in Arizona. Well, it probably normally wouldn’t, but for reasons that will become clear, let’s take a look at a few of the stories.
SICK! AZ Superintendent Of Public Instruction Democrat Kathy Hoffman Sued for Directing Minors To Hyper-Sexualized Chat Rooms And Grooming Students (Gateway Pundit - Sept 9, 2022)
Arizona Office of Education Promotes Chat for LGBTQ Youth Led by Planned Parenthood (Breitbart - May 16, 2022)
Public Educational Initiative In Arizona Instills Far-Left, ‘Social Justice’ Values (Daily Wire - Nov 15, 2019)
The first and second articles being the most recent should be of concern to parents of school-aged kids in Oregon because the Oregon Department of Education directs kids to the same “hyper-sexualized chat rooms” on Q-Chat. The very same one!
With your tax dollars, the state’s administration over education is pushing a method of communication that is designed to be kept a secret from parents, and points your children, admittedly as young as 13 (if not younger) to some very questionable chat spaces, with even more questionable topics, all managed by people whose only requirement to do so is that they say they’re LGBTQ and want to talk to curious children. Well, I don’t see how anything could go wrong with that… unless you’ve ever watched To Catch a Predator.
As an outcome of the Menstrual Dignity Act in 2021 that hoodwinked the state’s Republican lawmakers (putting tampon dispensers in Salem-Keizer School’s boys bathrooms, as well as all over the state) the Oregon Department of Education has put out a document called “Student-Facing Menstruation Resources”. It is a one-pager that explains various types of menstrual products and provides a list of links to check out for more information. At the end of the list is a subset for “LGBTQ2SIA+ Virtual Support Spaces”. Why no support for heterosexual cisgender girls? This can be traumatic for them, too! But this list details various places that LGBTQ youth can go to for help, with age ranges for each one.
Oregon Department of Education has also put out another guide on Mental Health and Social Supports titled “How to Support LGBTQ+ Youth”. This three-page document finishes similarly to the previous one, with a section called “Resources for Educators and Students”.
If a lawsuit has been brought in Arizona over their Department of Education promoting this, maybe it’s time for one in Oregon?
For more information on Q-Chat, you can also check out this article by a group called Not in Our Schools. In it, they outline the sign-up process and who’s behind it, one of which is our good friends Planned Parenthood.
More dramatically, you can look at the write-up from Breitbart (some of which was a repeat of the linked article above Arizona Office of Education Promotes Chat for LGBTQ Youth Led by Planned Parenthood) where they outline that the CDC also refers to the same online chat service.
You can also look at a recent article (May 2022) on The Daily Wire, where they also call out the chat service Gender Spectrum, which is listed in both Oregon Department of Education documents discussed above. In it, they list Pearson (as in the school textbooks most kids use) and The Biden Foundation as key partners in Gender Spectrum’s effort.
It’s pertinent to summarize here the outreach efforts captured in the previously linked articles. Q-Chat attempts to lure kids in with chats about Pokemon, Star Wars, and video games, only to pass them onto discussions around:
For a lot more information, including a short video, go check out Libs of TikTok’s reporting on the situation developing in Arizona. When you’re watching the video (below), just replace Arizona with Oregon, and replace Kathy Hoffman (who coincidentally is from Oregon) with Governor Kate Brown (who is also the Superintendent of Schools in Oregon), Representative Tina Kotek, and Senator Betsy Johnson. These three Democrats were in power, along with their entire political party, while these woke policies were put into place and amplified by the Oregon Department of Education.
The Progressive Marxist left are using your children as pawns in their ideological games. They want the schools, with your tax dollars, to be the introduction, if not the epitome of government oversight and control. They already have the kids for their education (which is being corrupted), now they’re saying “come here for your food” (free breakfast and lunch — dinner is next and is already happening in at least one school district in Oregon and probably others), come here to recreate (think afterschool sports, clubs, summer camps and events, etc), and coming soon (if not already in your area) will be school based healthcare centers, (which embattled SKPS Board Chair Ashley Carson-Cottingham is focused on — go to skeducationfirst.com to sign the recall) where kids can get healthcare and medication for anything they want, without parental consent or knowledge. As a reminder, minors 15 and up (sometimes 14 and up, sometimes ANY AGE) can do whatever they want for healthcare with no parental permission or knowledge. If on its face, this doesn’t make your eyebrows go up, you’re falling into the trap, because who would argue with providing free services of all these types to kids? That’s what they want you to think.
They want parents to abdicate their role and authority to the schools, as in the government. Look at this! Just give us your child. It’s SOOOOO expensive and difficult to do this on your own. We’ll feed them, teach them, entertain them, we’ll even make sure they’re healthy. Just don’t ask what we show them or make them do while they’re here, you ungrateful, lousy parent! You can’t do this; you never could. Let your benevolent government overlords take care of you.
Remember all this when you vote in November for Oregon’s next Governor. Are you happy with where things are? Maybe it’s time to try something different.
Vote for Christine Drazen, and as the video says, let’s remove their dangerous “woke” views from our schools and our state! Children deserve a good education, not indoctrination!
