Video Stirs Controversy in Connecticut School Community
Get ready for a surprising turn of events at Wells Road Intermediate School in Granby, Connecticut. Out of nowhere, a video discussing gender identity was shown to third, fourth, and fifth-grade students without warning. This unexpected occurrence has left parents in shock and confusion.
The video, produced by Universal Kids, features children who introduce themselves using their “preferred pronouns.” For example, Jasper uses “they/them” pronouns and discusses personal freedom, while Mavis, a “she/her” individual, talks about her two moms. Additionally, Simon uses “he/they” pronouns and advocates for freedom.
However, this video has caused quite a stir among parents who feel their children are too young to be exposed to discussions about gender identity and changing sex. One parent, Kyle Reyes, withdrew his children from the Granby School District in response. Reyes firmly believes that these conversations should be had at home between parents and their children.
Furthermore, unsuspecting parents were caught off guard when a reporter confronted them with the gender identity video during school pick-up. They expressed their frustration, stating that they should have been informed beforehand to have the opportunity to discuss the topic with their children at home.
Adding fuel to the fire, a “puberty kit” was discovered in a student’s backpack. The kit contained panty liners and maxi pads, creating an unexpected lesson about puberty.
In response to parental outrage, Dr. Jordan Grossman’s office, the superintendent of Granby schools, has chosen to handle the situation internally. However, they have not provided an explanation as to why parents were not informed about the video beforehand.
Now it’s your turn to weigh in on this controversial school incident. Should the school have informed parents in advance or is this a normal part of education? We value your opinions, so share your thoughts with us and let the conversation continue!
