DER ROLES We live between a world that many believe it is normal to be transgender or date the same sex. The problem with this issue is to begin with it does not align with the word of God celebrating the practice of different sexualities and encouraging same-sex attractions and unions are in direct conflict with God’s intended purpose for marriage and sexuality as revealed in the Bible. Their agenda is not only a sin but it’s also causing conflict for Christian’s, Americans and worldwide. Not only for us adults but for children questioning at such a young age and grade level “what is gay ? Am I gay? Can I transition from being a boy to a girl” which is not part of God’s creation. In order to overcome this agenda and issue we must stand, voice our opinion and defend the truth. The problem we are facing currently is the LGBT agenda being pushed upon our nation and children, this agenda is being taught in public schools. Government has taken God away from the school system and has replaced it with the LGBT. These are innocent children we are speaking about. This agenda is being taught in our schools, a couple months ago an article about Gavin Newsom’s wife came out and stated that she had “produced four films, which include "Miss Representation," "The Mask You Live In," "The Great American Lie" and "Fair Play” were shown at public schools these films included sexually explicit images, political boosterism, and something called ‘The Genderbread Person” who aims to show children how biological sex, “gender expression,” “sexual attraction,” and “gender identity” exist on a spectrum, which can be mixed. Middle school children are served images of upside- down 2
strippers with little left to the imagination. These films are not age appropriate for Middle Schoolers, and really should not have any place in school curriculum”. In order to resolve this issue there are laws being passed in the United States banning transgender procedures. Another way to resolve this agenda being pushed upon children is banning it from being taught in schools and bringing more of a correct curriculum to help our children learn and bringing Jesus back into our schools. We need more parents to stand up and attend school board meeting’s and fight for their children too many parents are busy with life that they don’t focus what is being shown to their children and taught the more parents fight for their kids the more of improvement will be made. Or else if parents start to take their kids out of school. The reason is because schools get paid for kids to go in if they leave in mass numbers it affects them and then they will listen up to now the schools are listening because at the end of the day they are still getting paid and just abiding by the state laws. If enough teachers start to push back that would also be ideal. Not enough teachers are also standing up and doing that because they are afraid to lose their job.This is the way to hit it at a government level. Amending the fair act would remove teachings of LGBT teachings. Currently under the fair act the LGBT teachings fall under social studies which is a required class in schools it's not an elective where they can opt out. If we don’t rise up for our children only imagine their devastating future we will be responsible for it. _________________ 1.

Masters Theses. 1272. https://thekeep.eiu.edu/theses/1272 We inhabit a world where many deem it normal to be transgender or date the same gender. This program directly opposes the word of God and is stirring up discord for Christians, Americans, and those globally. This agenda is being enforced on our nation, children and instructed in our public schools. These ushers to perplexity for children as young as elementary school age, who question themselves, such as "What is homosexuality?" and "Can I switch my gender from being a boy to a girl?" The heart of this matter is that religion has been ejected from the school system and superseded by the LGBT agenda. This is unfit for middle schoolers and profoundly detrimental to our young people's purity. This has been seen through the presentation of films like "Miss Representation" in public schools, which include sexually explicit images and are completely inappropriate for the age group. It is distressing that teachers and school districts permit pupils to be uncovered to this kind of material without the permission or knowledge of their parents. Schools should be safe and supportive places for children, not where alternate lifestyles are encouraged and accepted as the norm. Moreover, it must be noted that the LGBT agenda does not reflect the values and opinions of all families. Consequently, we should ensure our children are only subjected to this kind of range with the approval of their guardians. We should also ensure that the educational 4
system is not used to indoctrinate our children into a particular outlook as noted by (Friedman). Our youngsters should be free to select what they think without being pressured by their school. To address this problem, guardians must advocate for the facts according to (Thoreson) Legislation has been passed in the US preventing transgender conducts, but this is insufficient. We should also forbid this agenda from being taught in schools and return to a program more in tune with God's plans parents should go to school board conferences and battle for their children, and educators should resist this plan. If guardians start withdrawing their children from school, this can be a powerful way to make a difference since schools are reimbursed for students to participate. The future of our children is endangered. If we do not step up for them, we will be responsible for the disastrous outcome that this plan can have on their lives. We must take a stance and combat for our kids to develop in an atmosphere that respects and honors the gospel. We must act now without waiting any longer. This plan has already harmed our kids, and it will only worsen if we do not take steps to obstruct it. We must appeal to our state and national administrations to do something and guarantee that our schools teach our kids the reality and not advance the LGBT schedule. We must also keep familiarizing our kids with the truth of God's gospel so they can make enlightened judgments for their future.This is a critical issue that necessitates prompt attention. We must implore all guardians and people who care about this issue to take a stand and fight for our children. We must do everything we can to guarantee that our children are acquainted with the truth and have the autonomy to make their own decisions. We must be heard and take a stand for the privileges and liberties of our progeny. 5

The increasing societal reception of LGBTQ persons and groups, still, has pushed the topic back into the limelight in recent years. Enthusiasts of LGBTQ equality think everybody should be free to speak their minds and share their unique viewpoints across the globe. This faction also thinks everyone needs to be afforded similar consideration and respect at home, the workplace, and the community overall. Conservatives, on the other side, are generally hostile to LGBTQ rights and the LGBTQ agenda. The study discusses the potential risks of introducing LGBTQ subjects to young people, including the prospect of contributing to a moral deterioration in society and the danger of doing so unfairly. Appreciating each other’s viewpoints is essential to understand the intricacies of this conversation. Empathetic people towards the LGBTQ community believe that everyone has a right to live a meaningful life, free from the fear of persecution or stigmatization for their identity. Researchers argue that individuals who identify as LGBTQ face momentous trials owing to bigotry and a lack of representation. There is an ongoing bitter debate for a considerable amount of time about how the LGBTQ agenda will affect future generations. However, the issue has been brought back to 6

attention since there has been an increase in the general public's acceptance of LGBTQ people and groups. In particular, KJ Dykstra and Fenton Litwiller focus their research on LGBTQ- related topics, issues, and formations about children and youth. They conclude that additional hardship is caused to this group when non-LGBTQ people like parents, teachers, and peers try to emotionally coerce children and youth into accepting the LGBTQ lifestyle. This is especially true for those who cannot comprehend the complexities of formal repudiation. In this instance, the LGBTQ agenda is being pushed on children and young people not out of malice but rather out of a sincere desire to guarantee that everyone is treated correctly. The motivation behind this drive could not get more precise. The LGBTQ agenda poses a threat to Christian religious systems. Christians support heterosexual marriage and despise homosexuality. The Bible's prohibition against sexual activity between persons of the same sex has been consistent over human history and through civilizations. The Bible stresses sexual morality but promises forgiveness and eternal life to those who regret and believe in Christ. Marriage was created by God. We have no authority to change marriage. A person or government may only misuse the term in the context of non-marriages. Marriage is required for men and women. Society needs to understand that compromise requires both parties to learn and adjust their views. This can only be achieved if all parties step back and acknowledge the validity of the other's arguments, including that LGBTQ people. Finding common ground in the ultimate objective of this deliberation acceptance and freedom for all could also be helpful. This will be a long process. Still, robust talks between both parties will allow us to resolve the LGBTQ agenda on children debate and find a win-win solution. It takes time to resolve these struggles but a 7
phrase to always remember is nothing is impossible to the Lord, He asks for our hand first before our hearts. ___________________ 5. Bible Gateway.
