Pro-family nonprofit organization Wisconsin Family Action has voiced its concerns about schools in River Falls, Wisconsin, promoting what they refer to as "leftist propaganda" and "gender ideology." The organization's statement comes after reports emerged of schools in River Falls displaying inclusive language and explanations of certain terms on bulletin boards.
The nonprofit group posted a statement on an unidentified platform upon seeing the reports, accompanied by photographs of the bulletin boards. The photos were initially shared on the platform by the group "Libs of Tiktok," according to the platform. The bulletin boards featured terms such as "LGBTQ+," "gender," "pronouns," "bisexual," "transgender," and more, each accompanied by its respective definition. Additionally, there was a "Rainbow Library" section listing book titles that feature "LGBTQ+ characters, history, and themes" for children.
Scarlett Johnson, a member of Moms for Liberty Wisconsin, expressed her concerns about the situation on the same platform. She stated, "Too many Elementary/Middle School classrooms in Wisconsin schools look like this thanks to Wisconsin DPI & their partnerships w/ GLSEN, Safe Zone Project, Trevor Project, Gender Spectrum, Advocates for Youth...& Many activist organizations that use schools as recruitment centers."
The Trevor Project and GLSEN are prominent "LGBTQ" non-profit organizations that focus on providing support to "LGBTQ" youth, particularly within educational settings. Both organizations aim to prevent suicide among "LGBTQ" individuals by offering various forms of support.
Wisconsin Family Action is a nonprofit organization dedicated to upholding pro-family ideals and promoting "Judeo-Christian principles and values" in Wisconsin. They actively support marriage, life, religious freedom, and school choice, according to their website.
The organization's statement reflects their belief that "leftist propaganda has no place in Wisconsin schools." They assert that the promotion of what they perceive as "gender ideology" and similar concepts goes against their pro-family values.
It is important to note that the specific schools in River Falls, Wisconsin, promoting these concepts have not been identified in the article.
