San Diego Unified School District Will Teach Children That Heterosexuality is Oppressive – And Promote “Genderqueer,” “Non-Binary” Identities

San Diego Unified is the latest public school district to adopt academic queer theory and translate them into K-12 pedagogy, with the goal of dismantling “heteronormativity” and promoting a constellation of new sexual identities, such as “genderqueer,” “non-binary,” “pansexual,” and “two-spirit.”

According to the school district, the gender binary has created an “unjust” society that distributes “heterosexual and cisgender privilege,” the sexual analog to the concept of “white privilege.”

In the presentation, administrators explain that “a heterosexual/cisgender person automatically receives” this privilege, which “benefits members of dominant groups at the expense of members of target groups” and “results in institutional power” for straight men and women.

This sexual privilege is connected to a broader range of privileges and oppressions via the theory of intersectionality, according to the district.

“Racism, classism, heterosexism, etc. do not exist independently,” the presentation reads.

“Multiple forms of discrimination interrelate creating a system of oppression.”

What is their solution?

To dismantle “heteronormativity” and break the “gender binary.”

Following the principles of queer theory, San Diego Unified has created a program of gender-identity instruction with the explicit goal of undermining the traditional conception of sex and promoting a new set of boutique sexual identities, such as “transgender,” “genderqueer,” “non-binary,” “pansexual,” “asexual,” and “two-spirit,” that promise to disrupt the oppressive system of heteronormativity.

A series of curriculum documents encourage students to study the basic tenets of queer theory and then examine photographs of gender-nonconforming role models, including a woman with a beard, a boy in a dress, a teenage girl with a “genderqueer” identity, a boy wearing a tiara, and an infant with a “gender neutral baby name.”

In another document published by San Diego Unified, administrators celebrate “nonbinary identities,” arguing that there must be a “linguistic revolution to move beyond gender binaries,” including the adoption of the term “Latinx,” which “makes room for people who are trans, queer, agender, nonbinary, gender non-conforming or gender fluid.”
