Take a four-year-old child in Scotland, sign them up for Pre-K, send them to school and turn your back. What do you get? One of the most mentally and psychologically abused children in the modern world. If you haven’t figured it out from the title of this article, let me explain.

The Scottish government has put the world on notice requiring that if a four-year-old wants to change their name or gender, the parents are not to be notified. If what I just said doesn’t strike you to the core, close this article and read something mind-numbing. I prescribe CNN. All jokes aside, CNN included, what in the Jim Jones, Cock-a-Leekie soup are they feeding the Scottish people?

If you’re wondering why the age is so young that a child can make such a drastic choice alone, then the Scottish government has an answer. The mandate begins in primary education because “recognition and development of gender identity can occur at a young age.” In other words, at the point of exiting the womb of their mother, a child never went home as a boy or a girl. There was never a girl or boy name given. There wasn’t a gender reveal beforehand and most importantly the child couldn’t have had any genitals to detect whether a boy or girl entered the world. How dumb does this sound? This concept may be new, but the idea is aged.

In America, youth are allowed to get tested and treated for STDs without parental consent. They can register as organ donors without parental acknowledgement. They can get drug and alcohol counseling without telling their parents and most damning they can abort a child without the consent of their parents. Some states require only 24-48 hours prior to getting an abortion that your parents must be notified. However, a judge can excuse you of this requirement. In Massachusetts, for instance, Planned Parenthood has specially trained staff who can help you obtain a judicial bypass.

Where am I going with this? If you’re watching closely, you’ll realize that what’s happening with the Scottish government puts our four-year-olds a hopscotch away from being able to “determine his or her own gender” in American schools.

According to the UK Daily Mail, “Primary and secondary schools have also been told to put books featuring transgender people on the curriculum, allow pupils to choose which changing room or toilets to use, and consider introducing a gender-neutral uniform.”

Children are being allowed to make life-changing decisions where their lives haven’t even begun to blossom.

The devious advice says: “Some young people are exploring their gender identity in primary school settings. Primary schools need to be able to meet the needs of these young people to ensure they have a safe, inclusive and respectful environment in which to learn.”

I have a newly excited kindergartner who walked into school this past week. He is smart, funny, and has the push of an energy drink. What if my son came home to tell me his teacher encouraged the class to “choose their gender”? I’d be at that school and in front of the board of education before you could spell LGBTQ.

The five-letter word community has struck again. This time it’s the children who are at stake. It’s gone beyond “tolerance” into outright indoctrination.
