Republicans Tell Parents to Remove Kids From Public School
Democrats in recent elections, Republicans are expressing frustration with a new law surrounding public schools. Governor Jared Polis in April signed into law a bill that requires each school board of education and pilot schools to adopt policies to prohibit "discrimination on the basis of gender expression which includes the use of a student's chosen name."The law requires school districts to enact a policy specifying that it is discriminatory to knowingly or intentionally use a name other than a student's chosen name.The bill drew backlash from the Colorado Republican Party, which this week sent out an email stating parents should remove their kids from public schools due to concerns about "indoctrination." The email was first reported by Denver-based television news station KUSA."Colorado Kids should be able to attend public schools, receive a quality education, and be free from indoctrination, but that is far from reality.
In reality, all Colorado parents should be aiming to remove their kids from public education," the email reads.Penned by Darcy Schoening, the Colorado GOP director of special initiatives, the email encouraged Colorado school districts to adopt a separate resolution that would allow parents and teachers to opt out of the policy, raising concerns that it constitutes "forced speech."They say the resolution is aimed at trying to "save Colorado children from progressive Democrats who want to turn more kids trans by requiring teachers to use 'pronouns' that do not make any sense and cause gender confusion.""Will you stand for Colorado families and tell Polis and his far left legislators, 'I will not be compelled to use speech that goes against my religion?
I will no longer participate in the fetishes of far-left legislators in the name of equity. This has gone too far,'" the email reads.Newsweek reached out to the Colorado Republican Party for comment via its online contact form.KUSA reported that the Colorado GOP has "tacked hard to the right" in.
