A leftist organization called “The Queer Mathematics Teacher” is seeking to embed gender theory in K-12 math classes.
Brandie Waid, the director of The Queer Mathematics Teacher, laid out a plan for incorporating gender theory into math classes in a blog post on the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) website. CASEL is sponsored by the Allstate Foundation.
The Queer Mathematics Teacher is an educational consulting firm that seeks to promote “queer mathematics” in American K-12 classrooms. The firm sells a book titled “Talking about LGBTQ+ Identity,” which includes chapters titled “The Gender Unicorn,” “How Do I Talk About LGBTQ+ Identity With My Students,” and “What if I Receive Pushback?”
The firm also offers coaching services to teachers, which include curriculum design, district-wide audits, and professional development workshops. The site claims, “The ability to consider sexuality irrelevant in the mathematics context is a heteronormatively privileged position” and notes that some areas of expertise include “queer pedagogy,” “teaching mathematics for social justice,” “Fostering Students’ Growth Mindset (While Advocating for Systemic Change),” and “humanizing Mathematics Education for LGBTQ+ Students.”
Waid confesses in her article that math used to be a source of anxiety for her, which she links with her sexuality. She writes, “I associated mathematics with profound anxiety, intricately tied to my fears of confronting my queer identity.” --->READ MORE HERE
An elementary school principal in Minnesota went viral after she promoted transgender and gender identity reading material for students from kindergarten through second grade.
"I've been doing some reading this summer, and, so, I thought I would share a couple of books because you have a little bit of time left to do some reading," Excelsior Elementary School Principal Stacy DeCorsey said in a video to students and families posted to the school's Facebook page.
One book DeCorsey called "phenomenal" was Erica Silverman's Jack (Not Jackie).
"If you're a K-1, 2, 3, even, it's a really good read," according to the principal. "I'm excited it'll be on our shelves in the media center this fall."
Minnesota elementary principal promoted the book “Jack Not Jackie” as summer reading for K-2 grades.

An "openly queer" elementary school teacher is going viral after being exposed for quietly helping third-grade students find new gender identities.
The teacher, identified as Brianna Rose in a report, posted a video on TikTok in which she discussed the importance of a classroom safe space for gender-questioning elementary school students.
"I am an openly queer teacher," said Rose, who uses the name @zombriii94 on TikTok, in the video. "I wear a [bisexual] flag watch band, [bisexual] flag bracelet. In my classroom, I keep a rainbow flag."
