Tax-Funded Group Sends Anti-White, Pro-Trans Board Books To Wisconsin Daycares
'For a long time, many people have said and believed untrue things like: 'You are either a boy or a girl,'' says one board book sent to daycares.
Leftists desperate to sexualize toddlers in Germany have gone after the country's day-care facilities.
Last year, two nurseries in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia introduced masturbatoriums for toddlers so that they could experiment with "childish sexuality." When Die Welt asked about the initiative, the children's ministry for the state indicated that it could not and would not intervene to stop "sexual behavior by children."
Bild reported in June that a day-care center in Hanover announced plans to create a "body exploration room" where children could "caress and examine" themselves and other kids. After significant backlash, the Lower Saxony State Youth Welfare Office shut down the project.
A recommendation for similar toddler sex rooms recently appeared in an unpublished draft of Berlin's new day-care education program. According to the newspaper Junge Freiheit, this proposal — which was emblazoned with the Department of Edcuation's logo and made its way through various educational institutions — suggested that children ages 3-6 ought to be afforded spaces where they can live out "feelings of pleasure."
While Berlin has long been a city pulled toward social and political extremes, it appears this was a bridge too far.
Falko Liecke, the state secretary for youth and family in the Berlin Senate's Department of Education, recently made clear to Junge Freiheit that there will be no such rooms and that the proposal, advanced by supposed specialists, "has now been withdrawn."
An English translation indicated the Liecke told the paper, "In Berlin day-care centers, there will expressly be no separate rooms for educational sexual explorations for children among themselves, nor any guided or free other sexual-educational concepts."
Liecke did, however, acknowledge the recommendations, indicating that they were "given to us from the scientific field represent[ing] a different perspective."
"We expressly do not share these views and will not include these recommendations in the Berlin educational program for day-care centers and day care," said Liecke. "This does not correspond at all to our ideas about a child-friendly educational mandate."

Authorities arrested a San Antonio, Texas, woman after discovering two dirty, injured toddlers trapped alone in a room in her house.
According to a report from KSAT-TV, police arrested 37-year-old Priscilla Ann Salias on Tuesday and charged her with two counts of endangering a child after receiving a tip that there were two filthy, injured children being held in a room in her home.
On Sunday, officials forced their way into a room at her home and reportedly discovered the children — a 2-year-old boy and a 1-year-old girl — inside the room.
The female toddler, according to an arrest affidavit, had her wrists and ankles bound and tied together. The unnamed child had "visible injuries," including a blackened eye and a bloodied lip.
The male toddler was trapped inside a playpen that was covered with a changing table and baby carrier.
Both children were "heavily soiled" and crying when first responders burst into the room.
Salias reportedly had temporary custody of the children — who belonged to her stepdaughter — as the children's biological parents were under investigation by child protective services.
Her bail was set at $150,000.
She has not posted bail at the time of this reporting and has denied all charges.
"What she did to these children is unforgivable," San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said on Salias' arrest.
The children are now in the custody of child services.
According to the Daily Mail, Salias said the the charges are "bulls**t" and that reporters need to "get their facts straight."
She did not elaborate, however, how the children ended up in such disturbing conditions.
Salias' father, Bill, said that he can't imagine his daughter as being responsible for abusing the children.
"The kids she's taken into her home out of the kindness of her heart is because that's the kind of person she is," he said. "Now this sensationalized version that's being portrayed on her is totally inaccurate."
The outlet reported that the children's biological mother, identified only by her first name Isabella, said that she just wants her children to "come home already."

A new Michigan mask mandate applying to children ages 2 through 4 went into effect Monday, requiring them to wear masks in all public places, including schools, child care centers, and camps.
WZZM-TV noted that in April, the state has tallied a spike in COVID-19 cases among children, and last week some hospital leaders said they are treating more children for the virus than ever before — even ones with no underlying conditions.
But the new mask mandate has created new problems for those charged with enforcing it — and the station profiled a day care center that is experiencing difficulties.
"It's impossible. She's not even teaching anymore," Erin Farias, owner of Little Smiles Daycare and Christian Learning Center in Kentwood, told the station regarding her toddler teacher. "She's not getting any of the curriculum, any of the crafts. It's just, 'Wear your mask, pull your mask up.' That's what their day is."
Farias told WZZM she understands the mask mandate for 2- to-4-year-olds, particularly because at the Little Smiles centers they've seen an increase in the virus' spread: Last year, they had to close only two rooms all year to quarantine — but in the last two weeks they've had to do it twice.
"We're struggling, this isn't a school right now," she added to the station. "This is a 'let's follow this rule all day long.' It's hard."
The latest mandate is in effect until May 24, WZZM reported.
"Even from the fall, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has said kids two and older should be wearing masks, to begin with," Dr. Matthew Hornik of the Pediatric Care Corner in West Bloomfield Township told the station in a separate story. "So, you know, this isn't an out of the blue, left-field kind of a thing that's being done now."
Hornik added to WZZM that "the data recently has shown an increase in children. As more adults are getting vaccinated, and as this UK variant is spreading in the state, it's a lot more contagious. So, yes, there still is a small amount of spread in schools and daycares. But anything we can do to help kind of mitigate that spread even further is going to help."
Hornik also is president of the Michigan Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, the station said, adding the he said there's no danger in toddlers wearing masks as long as they're changed out and the correct size.
"I've seen a huge increase in comfortability, even in my own office, with kids who at the beginning of this whole thing were having to wear masks in the office," he added to WZZM. "You know, now I see them and it's like nothing is even happening. They're just totally comfortable with it."
Hornik also told the station that if adults are "modeling good behavior and talking to [kids] about it, and taking away that kind of stigma of it being bad, then they're more likely to wear it. So, put it on their stuffed animals. Show pictures of other kids wearing it. And, as they get older they're obviously going to ask more questions and you can be able to explain, 'you know you're wearing this to help protect yourself and to help protect others and doing your part to get through this pandemic.'"
