A school district in North Carolina has pulled a book that was set to be a part of First Grade curriculum after teachers and lawmakers complained about its content regarding a little boy who liked to wear dresses.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools had originally planned to make the book “Jacob’s New Dress” a part of the anti-bullying reading plan for Child Abuse Prevention Month. The 2014 book, written by Sarah and Ian Hoffman, is meant to teach children about those who are “gender non-conforming.”
“Jacob’s New Dress” is a story about a boy who likes to wear a princess dress for playtime at school, but is teased by his peers.
The purpose for reading this book is to teach children not to bully their peers. At least that is the claim of the school administration. But what it does is teach impressionable boys that it is okay to wear a dress.
Progressive, you got to love their linguistic constructivism ...gender non-conforming ..Geezzz
