“Normal decent people do not want the Trans Agenda crammed down their children’s throats. Nor do ordinary teachers who love children want to promote it. Trans Agenda indoctrination can only be accomplished with the compulsion of the State,” said Ruth Institute President Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse, Ph.D.
Morse was responding to new Minnesota public school licensing rules requiring teachers to affirm students’ “transgender” identity.

“These rules are clear violations of freedom of conscience and First Amendment religious liberty. They would essentially ban traditional Christians, Muslims, and observant Jews from teaching in Minnesota schools,” Morse pointed out. “Civil liberties groups will challenge the rule as soon as it passes the final hurdle.”
Every state-certified teacher will be required to foster “an environment that ensures student identities such as… gender identity” are affirmed.
“This will require teachers to address students by their preferred pronouns and to pretend that a boy who says he’s a girl actually is a girl. It would also compel teachers to address a girl registered as Charlene as Chuck, if that’s what she wants. There’s no requirement for parental notification of any of this.”
“Gender identity is a fraud,” Morse remarked. “You are born a man or a woman based on your DNA. You can try to assume the identity of the opposite sex through drugs, surgery or forcing others to affirm your fantasies, but it won’t work.”
“Gender ideology has been embraced by the military, federal agencies and so-called progressive states like Minnesota. It is the greatest threat to civil liberties we face today,” Morse charged. “It’s also an outrage.”
“I applaud the individuals and organizations fighting this lawless use of state power. However, I disagree that the answer is to create religious alternative schools. The Sexual State will not leave private schools alone. It is delusional to think otherwise. No. The good people of Minnesota need to stand and fight for their public schools. This is no time to retreat. There is literally no safe place to hide.”
The Ruth Institute’s Transgender Resource Center contains research and testimonials to help parents and concerned educators fight this indoctrination.
