Summary

A Minnesota youth environmental education program funded by the state is being criticized for targeting LGBTQ+ youth and teaching about animal reproductive diversity without parental involvement, with the critic arguing this promotes gender ideology to minors.

Summarized by ThreadOut AI from the full thread. May miss nuance — read the thread below.

    1/ Tim Walz' government is paying $10,500 for a they/them and a he/they to take sexually confused kids as young as 11 into the woods to talk about “queer” animal sex and trans frogs. Parents aren't welcome. 🧵

  2. #2

    2/ The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources “No Child Left Inside” grant is funding “QUEERY,” a program by the Clean River Partners that stands for “Queer Unity, Environmental Education, and Recreation for Youth.”

    3/ Run by a “trans-non-binary” “they/them” named Heron, the club is “specifically designed for queer and questioning middle and high school youth” to “explore how queerness shows up in nature.”

    4/ Heron explicitly states that straight youth are not welcome to attend, nor parents. But don’t worry, there's also a “he/they” on the team (a female taking testosterone meds who had her breasts cut off).  Additionally, guest instructors, who are presumably also adult “queers.”

    5/ The Executive Director of the overarching group — Clean River Partners — said they include children as young as 11 because they “wanted” to, and when pressed by my team, she confirmed parents are “asked not to attend.”

    6/Taking sexually confused kids into the woods to point out multi-sex fungi is something apparently best to do without parents. Kids confused about their biology are not fungi, and they deserve adults who help them accept themselves for the boys or girls that they are.

  7. #7

    7/ What else might Walz-funded “QUEERY” teach your 11-year-old? How to look at female wood frog sex-changing tadpoles “through a very human lens.” Because what applies to tadpoles is apparently relevant to whether or not we should dose human tweens with castration drugs.
