Fighting The Culture Wars: Are Pronouns Out of Control with DJ

Today, DJ and I discuss the harm that pronouns have on our children’s education and how conversations about gender have no place in the classroom. DJ shares the story of his own parent’s reaction when he came out as a teenager, and how their understanding and respect helped him support his nieces and nephews. We dissect what the role of teachers should be, and how teachers are overstepping parental boundaries by assigning gender identities to children and expecting parents to follow their lead.

I share some much-needed advice about how to stop being afraid to parent and how to take back parental authority. We also discuss how trans-athletes take opportunities away from female athletes.

“They're asking our children how they identify, and then they're telling parents. It's empowered teachers to play more of an operative role outside of education, which I just totally disagree with.”
