I was thinking this myself. I have 4 young children ages 8 years to 6 months old. What is the best way to talk to inoculate our children and prepare them for the inevitable attempt at indoctrination in their school or amongst their friends?

We all understand the danger of this ideology and that we have to prepare our children. But there is little to no info on specific strategies for how to do that. I know there are a number of books like the Brave books which are great for kids that you can use to help them understand this ideology. But we need very specific strategies of how to talk to our children at the various different ages.

How do they spot ideology masquerading as “inclusivity“? How do they know what are obvious falsehoods? And how do they know what exactly they are required to say and do when they find themselves inevitably in the situation at school or with friends?

It’s frustrating that there is so much information and books targeted towards young people on how to indoctrinate kids into this ideology and yet there’s almost nothing on how to save kids from it.

I agree, besides a couple of books, there are not a lot of resources for parents to present and explain this to kids. I will have an article out soon on my newsletter to give parents exactly those resources and practical ways to approach it.

yeah. This is particularly intense when you have kids going to public schools in blue areas, where some of their fellow students will be at least non-binary and possibly want to be referred to by opposite sex pronouns. If you don't want to or can't home-school your kids, how do you prepare them to participate in this world while making them secure in the reality of their own physical bodies and not vulnerable to having that core identity undermined?

Exactly! How do we protect them? It’s not that easy for parents to homeschool their kids. I personally am not able to do that. So what are our options?
