When people talk about things like transgender bathrooms and co-ed locker rooms in schools I immediately think of California or New York. I don’t think of a little town in the Midwest, surrounded by cornfields.
And yet, that is exactly where I came face-to-face with it when Bellevue, Nebraska, the oldest city in the state, became the first in the state to adopt a radical transgender policy promoted by Planned Parenthood and the ACLU.
Bellevue was just one of the school districts across America that received a letter from the ACLU strongly urging them to adopt a transgender policy citing potential lawsuits if they didn’t. After months of school board meetings filled to capacity with upset parents, Bellevue Public Schools voted to implement the policy despite parent protests. Parents are infuriated with the School Board’s decision and for good reason.

Bellevue’s policy (which isn’t really a policy at all but a list of rights for students declaring themselves “transgender”) states that “transgender students have the right to discuss and express their gender identity and expression openly and to decide when, with whom, and how much to share private information.”
Anyone with even a modicum of common sense can see the negative implications and inevitable ramifications of such a broad statement. All a student has to do is say they’re transgender and they can pretty much do whatever they want, whenever they want, with whomever they want. That single paragraph takes all authority from teachers and school staff, creates unnecessary chaos, and puts our children in a very vulnerable position. A detailed synopsis of the policy can be found at the Meeting of Moms website, created by moms to inform parents about these radical policies sweeping our nation.

​The school policy, like all the others being promoted across the country, provides “definitions” to help enlighten parents and teachers on this new way of thinking. A phrase used repeatedly is “assigned at birth.” According to the definition, the gender of our birth which is “not to be confused with the gender we identify with.” They define that as “a person’s deeply held sense or psychological knowledge of their own gender, regardless of the sex they were assigned at birth.”
This certainly seems an Orwellian attempt to convince a bunch of ordinarily sensible, intelligent people their assigned gender isn’t really who or what they are and then dictate the rest of us just accept it on face value. Unfortunatley their biggest target is our children.
Last year teachers in every school in Lincoln, Nebraska were sent a full-color flyer of the “Genderbread Person” to better help them and their students better understand these new definitions. The flyer, which has been circulated in schools across the country states, “Gender is one of those things everyone thinks they understand, but don’t.”
I’m pretty sure it’s not we who are the confused ones.
Sam Killerman, the founder of Its Pronounced Metrosexual and creator of the Genderbread Person states, “This tasty little guide is meant to be an appetizer for understanding. It’s okay if you’re hungry for more.”
Why would he use a cute familiar object from a popular children’s story if not to specifically target our children and create confusion in their hearts and minds?
It is clear this is an orchestrated attempt to force society (and our children) to separate gender and sex as if they were two different things and then try and make us feel stupid if we don’t “get it” and bigoted if we don’t accept it. These two are the same thing no matter what they try to convince us of or how many times they shove their ridiculous definitions in our faces.
It’s time for a dose of mommy sense. Apparently parents are the only ones sensible enough to see it and courageous enough to say it.
Parents in a California school became outraged when their 13-year-old children came home reporting they felt their teachers were pushing them to have sex. The teachers as it turned out, were actually staff members of Planned Parenthood (who promote the definitions on their website) using the Genderbread Person to teach students about sex and “gender identity.”
These definitions have filtered into the transgender policies being pushed on our schools.
The Bellevue Public School Policy, for instance, requires teachers, staff, and fellow students to use the “pronoun that corresponds with the student’s gender identity, as determined by the parent and student.” That is of course when the parents are included in the conversation. The policy disallows school staff from telling the parents their child has identified as transgender unless the child says it’s okay. Just to make things clear for school personnel, they are directed to use the student’s legal name when contacting parents unless the student or parent specifies otherwise.
It is a true sign of the state of decay our society is in, when a school policy has to explain which pronoun we use to reference a child when communicating with their parents.
Aside from the obvious issues with shared-sex bathrooms and locker rooms, these transgender policies go beyond any recognition of civility or common sense, create an unsafe environment and promote chaos and confusion. But then, that is clearly the objective.
If you want to learn more about these radical policies being forced our schools and our children visit the Meeting of Moms website. If this is happening in a small town surrounded by cornfields in fly-over country, you can bet it’s coming to a school near you—unless of course, it’s already there.

​“Mommy, what’s abortion?”

That was the question my 11-year-old son asked me yesterday — just a few weeks after asking another tough question, “What does transgender mean?”

I will admit in both cases my knee-jerk, momma bear, reaction was to tell my son as little as possible and shield him from things he shouldn’t have to deal with or even know about at this young age. But the fact that he was asking the question clearly indicated the protective shield had already been penetrated, and I was just grateful he felt comfortable enough to come to me with his question.
With all the stories flooding the news attempting to normalize debauchery and the myriad court decisionsradically changing our culture, questions like these will become much more common.

As tragic as that is, at least our children are asking the questions. It is when the questions stop that we need to be truly alarmed.
As I sat with my son contemplating how to answer his question and how much to tell him, I determined the best answer was the truth. So, in the best way possible, I explained the process of killing a baby in a mother’s womb — sometimes by crushing their little head.
A lump formed in my throat as I tried to explain — in the best way possible — that sometimes the babies live outside the womb and are left to die or the doctor kills them. I then went on to explain the news stories of Planned Parenthood and how the babies’ body parts and little limbs are collected and sold for research. Shock filled my son’s face, tears spontaneously erupting as he clung to me for comfort, trying to understand how such a horrible thing could be possible. Then came more questions.

“Why don’t the police arrest them?” he asked through pleading eyes.

“It’s not illegal,” I answered.

“Why?” he asked confused.

“Because the people in the government say it is a woman’s right. They say mommies can kill their babies because the baby is inside their body.”

“You mean moms can kill their own babies?”

“Well,” I hesitated, “the mommies don’t kill their babies. They pay someone else to do it.”

“What?” he asked horror-struck. “Why would they do that? Why would they want to kill their own babies?”

“Because they don’t want their baby.”

“Why don’t they give the baby to someone else?”

“I don’t know. I guess it’s easier for them not to think of their baby as a baby. Instead, they just think of their baby as unwanted tissue — kind of like a mole you don’t want so you have it removed. Some mommies can’t afford to pay to kill their babies so the government pays for it using the tax money that Daddy and I pay.”

“You pay to kill babies?”

“Not by choice son. It is the law to pay taxes. If Daddy and I don’t pay them the government can take our house away and they can put us in jail.”

“What are taxes?”

“It is the money we pay to the government to build roads and buildings to help our town. Tax money pays for the military, for police and fireman and important things like that.”

“And killing babies?”

“Unfortunately, yes. Our taxes didn’t use to pay for killing babies but they do now.”

“Why don’t you tell the government you don’t want your taxes to pay for killing babies?”

“We have. They said we have to because some mommy’s can’t afford to kill their babies and we should help them.”

At this, my son was absolutely stupefied. “Does the president know about this?”

“Yes,” I said. “He supports it. So do many government leaders and a lot of people in our country too.”

My little boy looked at with me with his questioning eyes. “Who can stop this?” he asked despairingly.

“You can, son,” I said. “You and all the children like you who are growing up knowing its wrong in a world that keeps trying to convince you its right. Never give up on what you know to be true.”

With one last embrace and a wipe of tears, my son went back outside to focus on childhood things like backyard friends and swimming holes and another difficult conversation ended.

Our children are living in a very different world than the one you and I grew up in. Childhood innocence is no longer commonplace. It is a luxury. But this is the world in which we live and we can’t just hide our heads in the sand and hope it goes away. The only way things will change is if we change them!

Our children are the hope of the future. They will have questions. If we don’t answer their questions someone else will and we may not like the answer.

How do we teach our children about these things? We need to provide a firm foundation our children can build from and rely on. We need to help them understand the difference between good and bad, right and wrong, light and darkness. We need to teach them truth, stand for truth and help them navigate in a world gone mad. Most of all, we need teach our children that just because this is the way things are doesn’t mean it always was and it isn’t the way it has to be.

As Ghandi said, “We must be the change we wish to see in the world.”

If more mothers had conversations with their children like I had with my son, just imagine how different the world would look in 20 years.
