Colorado MassResistance Forces School to Turn Over Sex-Ed Curriculum

Colorado MassResistance forces school administrators to reveal hidden middle school sex-ed curriculum to community

Graphic and psychologically intrusive to kids

School officials wanted to charge us $120 for the public documents, but we finally got them for free

February 23, 2021

ALT TEXTOur Colorado MassResistance leader, Cathy, tells the District 49 school board that they need to obey the law and release public documents.

MassResistance has been helping parents face the relatively unhidden onslaught of “comprehensive sex ed” being pushed in their schools, openly brought in by leftist school boards and school administrators across the country.

But there’s another battle going on in school districts where the elected school boards do not buy into the comprehensive sex-ed agenda. Left-wing school administrators are determined to push their radical agendas. So they begin presenting explicit sex-ed materials (and other objectionable material) to younger students without any formal (or public) review. Parents and even school board members are purposefully kept in the dark about exactly what’s happening. Parents only find out bits and pieces of it by accident. The radical administrators believe that time and momentum is on their side – and they will eventually be able to openly make it a part of the curriculum.

When this sort of scheme happens, it needs to be exposed and publicly confronted immediately. But because of the deceptions, parents are at an even bigger disadvantage than usual. This is a battle that the Colorado chapter of MassResistance recently successfully took on!

ALT TEXT

Colorado School District 49 is a conservative area that includes eastern Colorado Springs and parts of the surrounding county. It is also where Cathy, our Colorado MassResistance leader, lives.

ALT TEXT

Parents of middle school children throughout the district had been upset and concerned about what they were hearing from their kids about the sex-ed classes. But the materials and curriculum was not being made available by the schools. All kinds of excuses were being used.

So last November, Cathy and the Colorado MassResistance team filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for the middle schoolsex-ed materials – and also any Black Lives Matter, Critical Race Theory, or 1619 Project materials being used.

The school district replied that they did not have any Black Lives Matter or related material in any of their curricula. But they clearly did not want to release the sex-ed materials.  They insisted on a $120 fee to obtain copies of all the records, including the labor costs (four hours), to search for them and redact any personal information. But MassResistance insisted on paying nothing. Across the country, we’ve never had to pay a school district for that information.

For a number of weeks, the school district stonewalled. More than a month went by. Cathy filed the FOIA again and even offered to come in and make the photocopies herself. But they never even replied to that.

Our New Jersey Chapter leader, Abraham, offered to assist Cathy. He has works with municipal law attorneys who often file lawsuits against derelict or recalcitrant school districts which refuse to comply with FOIA requests from the public. She got advice from him to help her move forward.

In Colorado, school boards must approve all school curricula, and there are also state guidelines. So there was a “sex-ed” curriculum outline for middle school students. But what is actually taught could easily go far beyond the vague set of goals set in the curriculum.

Taking it to the school board

At the next school board meeting, on January 14, 2021, Cathy spoke out boldly and asked the school board for help because she was facing considerable opposition obtaining public records. “They are supposed to be public, are they not?” she asked them. “Why can’t the public have access to the sex-ed curriculum?”ALT TEXTThe District 49 School Board listens to Cathy.

Surprisingly, members of the school board also wondered why she was not getting the documents that she requested. They directed the administration to help her deal with the FOIA request. One of the school board members observed that many parents were probably curious about this, and even suggested that it be posted on the website.

One board member went even further. He said that the board should conduct a review of the “access path” for people who have an interest in what the schools are teaching. He told the other members:

It seems like a very legitimate public interest request that should be transparent and easy to do on a website. If it’s not that way, why isn’t it? And what can be done to make it that way? I know that the public has concerns about what’s being taught in our s chools. Perhaps this could be an agenda item for a future meeting.

A few weeks after that school board meeting – and with a little more prodding from MassResistance – the school administration finally relented and gave her the information she requested … at no cost!

Fairly shocking – for middle school kids

We can see why the school administrators were hesitant to release the middle school sex ed materials. For kids who are 9-12 years old, it’s pretty intense and graphic. It’s probably factually correct. But it’s not “age appropriate” at all. The “factual information” would be way over their heads.ALT TEXTIs this what you would want your kids to be taught in middle school?ALT TEXTDo middle school children even understand this?ALT TEXTThis seems pretty graphic for middle school children.ALT TEXTThese are the options that they’re telling middle school students about.

But far worse, like so much that the radical Left does to children, the graphic content appears meant to purposefully break down kids’natural modesty regarding sexual topics that they have at that age. It’s ideologically driven. How this affects children psychologically, the teachers simply don’t care.

Colorado MassResistance will make sure that this is presented to the public – and they can decide if this is what they really want their school board to push on middle school children.

Final reflection

Conservative school districts across the country are extremely vulnerable to this kind of infiltration from the radical Left. The next step is often the creation of phony (but well-funded) “astro-turf” local left-wing groups to intimidate school board members and parents who disagree with these programs once they’re in the schools.  We’ve seen similar districts in other places where that has happened.

Thus, MassResistance works to step in and help parents and normal-thinking school board members stop this problem before it gets out of control. It looks like we’re on the road to success in Colorado School District 49!

Dear CO State Senate Health Committee:

My name is ______, and I am a Colorado Resident and member of MassResistance.

We are the international pro-family group that makes the difference.

Our Colorado Chapter has informed us of grave concerns regarding a bill which will be brought before your committee tomorrow afternoon.

I am urging each of you to reject HB19-1032, legislation which has been termed “comprehensive sex-ed” and which would overrule the right of individual school districts to teach only abstinence to their students.

Here are the reasons why:

  1. It erodes local control for city and county school boards.
  2. It infringes on parental rights.
  3. The legislation will teach students that they can engage in high-risk, deviant behaviors without consequence, when such pronouncements are patently false.
  4. This sex-ed will normalize deviant behaviors which will short the lifespan of young people and harm them mental as well as physically.

Please vote no. This bill should not even leave committee at 1:30pm on February 28th, 2019.

Please contact me for more information.

Windsor, CO Police: In Bed With the LGBT Community?

One of our MassResistance activists requested a series of answers to some disturbing questions regarding what happened at the Windsor, Colorado Drag Queen library event.

It’s pretty disconcerting what we learn, since it’s quite clear that the library director Ann Kling lied to the city council and the public at large.

Here are the questions to the Windsor Chief of Police, and his answers are provided in red:

  1. Who authorized and approved the creation of a “free speech” area off the public library’s location? Library District.  Has a “free speech” zone ever been created like this before at the Windsor Public Library?  Unknown, would have to ask the Library District.  Was this cleared through the City’s attorneys office? No, it’s creation was not, although we were aware of it on Library property when preparing for security on the streets/sidewalks.
  2. Why was the public who opposed the Drag Queen Story Hour event not allowed into the building but were forced to the “free speech” zone? It was a ticketed event through the Library District.
  3. Why was one member of the public, Leslie, who wished to hand out flyers to the people entering into the library, ordered by a Windsor police officer, to vacate the area and go into this new “free speech” zone located off the property?  She is a grandmother.  She was not blocking anyone from entering or exiting the building or impeding pedestrian flow in or out of the building.  Leslie was ordered away from the area of the door into this de facto “free speech” area that restricted her ability from handing out the flyers in the most expeditious and thorough manner to her intended audience.  The Library entrance is a place for ingress and egress of patron and the public.  Had she been allowed to continue the activity at the entrance, persons wishing to gain access to or leave the library would have been stopped or deterred, resulting in a blocking/impeding effect upon those persons.  The Library remained open to the public at all times during the reading, so there was a steady flow of people going in and coming out.  The officer was merely redirecting her to an area set up by the Library District for those purposes, so that such activity would not impede persons entering or leaving the library, and to ensure a safe and orderly space for the public to enter or leave the library.
  4. Why was the media not allowed in the meeting room where the DQSH was held?  You would have to ask the Library District.  The article I am referring to states this:  “Media was not allowed into the room, despite story hour being a public event. Library officials cited fire code as the reason for restricting media access.”  That excuse is a novel one and not acceptable; the press should never be excluded from any public event at a public library.  That article is here:

https://www.coloradoan.com/story/news/2019/01/12/colorado-towns-drag-queen-story-hour-draws-protesters-counter-protesters-windsor/2550820002/ This was a Library decision.  The Library District is a separate entity from the Town of Windsor.

  1.   It was reported that there were perhaps two armed police officers and one plain clothed guard (this plain clothed guard was allegedly hired by someone other than the police…possibly by the library) preventing parents opposed to the event from going into the actual room where the “story hour” would occur. The Library District did hire security guards. Why the necessity of such a show of force for an event supposedly directed at pre-school age children between two and eight years olds? The Town received word that there would be protests.  In order to ensure the safety of the public, and protect those who chose to peacefully protest, the police department prepared a security plan for the streets and sidewalks of the Town of Windsor.  The Library also hired private security to cover the Library property.  Does this in itself not prove that the event has no place in being held in a family friendly, public library? No comment.

Finally, some of these questions are raised because the media and other library patrons were not allowed into the event.  When the media and invited public have restricted access to any library event, transparency is restricted and confusion is expected.

The same contacts in Windsor then shared the following concerns with me:

I believe we have a problem with the Windsor Police Dept. (WPD). On January 14 and 15, I called the WPD and spoke first with Sgt. Darcie (sp) and the next day spoke with Sgt. Robert Shainline (sp?).  Both of these conversations were disturbing because the amount of hostility I felt from both these officers were evident, as least in my mind.

I wanted to ask them about their policies put into place on the 12th; in particular, I wanted to talk about their ordering Leslie to the so-called “free speech zone” when she wanted to hand out flyers to the library patrons walking in or out.  Basically they said, “Talk to the library.”

I then asked Sgt. Shainline a hypothetical, described in my email attached to the Chief’s response.  This Sgt. refused to answer this important scenario and his level of arrogance was amazing. 

I explained to the mayor that I believe the WPD is in bed with the LGBT community.  I stated this after I spoke with only the first Sgt. and not with the second; after speaking to the second Sgt., I believe my feelings were indeed correct.  Further, I explained to the mayor that I have learned something with police departments:  the attitudes of the “rank and file” are indicative with those at the top.

I decided to go “right to the top” and penned the email to the Chief as you can read.  His response is nothing short of remarkable, cementing my belief that the WPD is absolutely in bed with the LGBTQ community.

Their unwillingness to address my hypothetical is fraught with problems.  Worse, coming from a department that gives their officers the awesome and terrible power of using a gun backed by a badge to arrest, incarcerate and use lethal force against citizens and yet are absolutely unwilling to engage citizens on the parameters of their police power is simply shocking. 

Like the actions and thinking that motivated Ms. Kling to decide to keep the press out of the DQSH event, this is real, concrete example of people in important places who are not seemingly interested in being transparent to that community and feel it is beneath them to engage in serious issues.

This situation in Windsor is much worse than what we thought.

Wow! Just incredible!

The tranny tyranny of the LGBT Left knows no bounds, does it?

Colorado MassResistance Helps Local Community Stand Up to Drag Queen Story Hour

MassResistance activists help conservative Colorado town confront “Drag Queen Story Hour” in public library

LGBT activists came in to intimidate and harass local parents

But Mayor agrees with constituents and publicly opposes event

January 18, 2019
ALT TEXTThese parents aren’t afraid to be direct when it comes to their children!

A conservative Colorado town was rocked this month by a radical “Drag Queen Story Hour” targeting young children at the town’s public library. Over a hundred local residents tried to stop it. Even the Mayor spoke out against it. They found they were up against a big outside LGBT force.

Finally, Colorado MassResistance parents came in and helped the local resistance. The mainstream media and LGBT movement didn’t like that at all! Even the pro-LGBT local police stepped in to help suppress the protests.

This will be an eye-opener for people in conservative towns across the country!

ALT TEXT

Windsor, CO is a town of 25,000 people located about 50 miles north of Denver. The people and their local officials are fairly conservative. But the town’s public library is part of an autonomous Library District controlled by its own Library Board which answers to the state, not local people.

Over time, the library board has become populated with liberals who have hired a radical pro-LGBT activist as Library Director. According to reports, she has hired “gays” as library staff as much as possible.

As we have previously described, so-called Drag Queen Story Hours (DQSH), held in local public libraries, target small children as young as 3 or 4 years old. They feature homosexual men dressed in women’s clothes and garish make-up, and they read LGBT-related books to children. Their self-proclaimed goal is to indoctrinate children – to “give kids glamorous, positive, and unabashedly queer role models” and to encourage young children to “defy rigid gender restrictions.”

The propaganda begins

So when Windsor parents saw the lurid ad for “Drag Queen Story Hour” at their local library – featuring a man in skimpy female attire – they were shocked and outraged. They also learned that the event was being paid for by SPLASH, a state LGBT group targeting children. The library’s ad made the preposterous claim that exposing young children to homosexuality and cross-dressing was an “important resource” to stop bullying and child suicide – and therefore must be done.

ALT TEXT

Parents thought it was impossible that their library would bring in sexually deviant men, flamboyantly dressed as women, to parade themselves in front of preschoolers. But they were wrong.

Citizens react – attend Library Board meeting

A local Catholic priest was horrified and encouraged his parishioners to join him and attend the Dec. 12, 2018 Library District Board meeting to complain and demand the event be stopped. Over 100 people came and the majority were from his church. According to reports, the comments were almost unanimously against the event. But the Board refused to listen to them. So the “Drag Queen Story Hour” was to go on unimpeded.

After the meeting a pro-LGBT activist angrily confronted the priest. The altercation was so bad that the police were called. It has, unfortunately, dampened the priest’s willingness to organize further on this issue.

Library Director responds with outrageous claim

Several days later, on Dec. 18, 2018, the pro-LGBT library director, Ann Kling, sent a letter to members of the Windsor community. She said that the library had received 215 comments and messages about the upcoming “Drag Queen Story Hour” and that over half, (52%) were in support of it. Therefore, she said, “After careful deliberation, we have chosen to move forward with the event.” She also included the absurd LGBT argument that this is necessary to eliminate bullying and suicide by children. Read the letter here.

Everyone in Windsor we talked to said that Kling’s claim that there was 52% support in the community was simply a lie, and that the “52% support” obviously came from outside LGBT activists – a common tactic.

Mayor reacts to local pressure – opposes the event

Parents were more upset than ever – and they let their local politicians know it! As a result, on Jan. 4, 2019, Windsor Mayor Kristie Melendez posted a message to the community on Facebook.

ALT TEXTCAPTION

She refuted the library director’s claim about support for the event and said that she believes it should be cancelled:

[T]he numbers are clear to me—our community for the most part, feels this event is inappropriate for children and does not want it to take place. I feel obliged to advocate for these constituents and ensure that they are not ignored.

Her post was met with great approval in Windsor and social media attacks from outside LGBT activists. But unfortunately, the Mayor had no power to stop the event.

MassResistance gets involved

As the Jan. 12 Drag Queen Story Hour approached, MassResistance was contacted by parents in Windsor asking for help. They felt blindsided – taken by surprise by a well-organized LGBT machine. So we got our Colorado MassResistance chapter on it immediately!

Our people talked to local activists and friendly public officials and quickly got the lay of the land. They also contacted local churches. It was clear that this was being organized by state LGBT groups and they were taking advantage of the library’s political autonomy to force their way into this conservative community, using lies, deceit, and brute force — leaving the locals seemingly helpless.

David Huntwork, a Windsor father and local Patriot activist, organized a group of other Windsor parents and citizens to protest outside of the library during the Drag Queen Story Hour. Colorado MassResistance helped Huntwork promote the protest, and also brought some of our own activists.

The day of the event – protests, intimidation, police suppression

On the day of the event, Jan. 12, six Windsor police officers and two additional security guards were guarding the library. The police told the local parents that they could not protest in front of the library, but had to go to a designated “free speech zone” some distance away. This had never been done before, and the parents were outraged at that order, but they complied. (We believe the police order was illegal.)

ALT TEXTThese parents (and grandparents) are not afraid of what liberals think of them.
ALT TEXT
ALT TEXT
ALT TEXT
ALT TEXTWe’re sure this message was incomprehensible to the library staff there.

The police refused to let people – even local residents – into the library who were not connected with the Drag Queen event, citing fire code regulations (a questionable reason). The police wouldn’t even allow reporters from the local newspapers inside the room to cover it!

Earlier that day, a Colorado MassResistance mother had gone inside the library and posted a flyer about the Drag Queen event on the library’s community bulletin board, and then placed copies on chairs in the room where it was to be held. A library staffer quickly removed all of them. See the flyer here.

ALT TEXTThe MassResistance flier warning about the Drag Queen event was on the bulletin board … for a few minutes.

About 80 people, including children and participants, came into the library for the event. We were told that almost all of them were from out of town. There were a lot of same-sex parents with children that no one had seen before.

The Colorado MassResistance mother with the flyers stood on the sidewalk outside the library main door and began passing out flyers to people coming in. The police confronted her and ordered her to move to the “free speech” zone. She argued with them about the notion of “free speech zones” in America, but eventually complied rather than be arrested.

ALT TEXTThe police patrolled the entrances to make sure no pro-family people were handing out fliers — even though it was clearly public property. They gave the absurd excuse that it would be “impede” patrons from coming in!

LGBT counter-protesters come to intimidate parents

Soon about 40 pro-LGBT counter-protesters arrived. They tried to appear like they were locals, but they were clearly brought in by SPLASH, the state Colorado LGBT activist group – a common tactic to show artificial support. Gloria Belden, a fifth generation Windsor resident, was standing right there. She told us that she did not recognize even one of them.

ALT TEXTThe LGBT activists from SPLASH arrive.
ALT TEXTAs usual, they can’t defend what they’re doing so they demonize the local parents.

The police made them stand at one end of the “free speech zone.” They began yelling vulgar chants at the Windsor parents. In response to a Christian prayer circle they yelled, “You can’t pray the gay away,” and “2,4,6,8 … How do you know your kids are straight,” and “Pro drag, pro fag.” They also accused the parents of hatred and lying.

ALT TEXTWhen the Windsor parents and grandparents got together for a prayer circle, they yad to endure vulgar chants from the “tolerance” crowd.
ALT TEXTHow lame does it get?

 

At the end of the event a woman (who appeared to be a staffer) came out of the library and told the LGBT agitators what a great job they had done, and that everyone needed to keep in touch.

Library director issues untruthful denials, attacks MassResistance

The propensity of the Left to lie about their actions and demonize those who disagree with them is astounding.

ALT TEXTBecause they wouldn’t allow reporters into the event, the library later released this photo of the Drag Queen Story Hour that the newspapers could use.

Immediately after the Drag Queen event, MassResistance Organization Director Arthur Schaper complained to several Windsor city officials about the outrageous, unlawful, and unconstitutional treatment of the Windsor parents by the police and library staff.

The next day the library director sent a blistering email to the city officials attacking Arthur and making absurd statements that belie the truth. For example, she claimed (1) the library was in fact open and available to everyone before, during and after the event; (2) protesters were allowed to – and did – distribute flyers outside the library during the event; and (3) protesters chose where they wanted to protest. These assertions were all patently false.

She also repeated the tired old LGBT lies told about MassResistance (and hundreds of other conservative groups) – that it is a hate group, condemned by Democrats and Republicans, blah, blah, blah.

Windsor police chief refutes library director, admits our charges are true

On Jan. 16, a MassResistance activist asked that the Windsor police chief answer questions about the bizarre rules and police behavior during the Drag Queen event. The Mayor of Windsor agreed and directed the police chief to answer the questions.

The police chief completely refuted the library director’s statements (above). He admitted that (1) only “ticketed” people were allowed in the library – it was not open to everyone; (2) leafletting was not allowed outside the library (for a ridiculous reason); and (3) that there were in fact “free speech zones” where the protesters had to be, and these zones were determined by the library.  Read the police chief’s email here.

The police chief also admitted that reporters were not allowed in the event – and that was the library’s decision.

Moving forward: A very troubling situation in Windsor, CO

The library director has not scheduled another Drag Queen Story Hour – yet. But it’s sure to happen.

This is really a battle between a conservative town and the larger LGBT movement that has taken control of the larger statewide body, successfully infiltrated the local library district, and employs ruthless methods.

It is also scary that the police force – like so many others across America – is so pro-LGBT that they enthusiastically followed the library director’s outrageous orders against parents, even though the police work for the Mayor, not the library. (And the Mayor opposed the entire event!)

The local Windsor parents are not giving up. They are determined to confront these problems through political action. And Colorado MassResistance will be there to help them!

Contact Bigoted Denver City Councilman: Support Reparative Therapy, Reject Proposed Ban!

The Denver City Council is proposing to ban reparative therapy for minors in the next month.

This move to remove a therapy which works, which has saved lives is gaining some unparalleled momentum for some reason, but pro-family forces seem to be asleep at the wheel on this.

But not MassResistance.

For the past two weeks, members of Colorado MassResistance have been contacting the Denver City Council to urge them to reject this so-called “conversion therapy” ban.

 

Here’s a voicemail I received from Councilman Rafael Espinoza last week:

Good afternoon Arthur. This is Councilman Espinoza in Denver District One.

I appreciate you attempts trying to influence me with your ignorance, and I just want you to know that I am not interested. You can continue wasting your time to trying to contact me to persuade me not to support our current legislation. But It will in fact fall on deaf ears.

I don’t care how many people outside my district or inside my district you are able to cultivate to communicate your expressed views, but I am not interested.

That said, if you continue wasting your time and efforts to trying persuade me others, but it is going to be as effective as conversion therapy, which it is not.

Have a good day. Thank you. Goodbye.

This is the kind of ignorance and arrogance that pro-family groups are dealing with right now. The elected officials have neither respect nor regard for the will of the voters nor the worth of biological truth and academic research.

First of all, helping people break free of homosexuality and transgenderism is not called “conversion therapy.” It’s not like someone was born one way, and specialists and professionals are trying to get someone to enter into a different life. The truth is that people are not born “gay”, nor are boys and girls born in the wrong bodies. Men and women, boys and girls receive clear genetic as well as biological determinants which imprint on individuals their sex, whether male or female.

Secondly, when this ignorant “elected official” declares that reparative therapy does not work, he is clearly mouthing, parroting the lies of the regressive Left and the aggressive LGBT lobby. Many of these fraudulent groups claim that reparative therapy relies on genital stimulation, forced swallowing of vinegar, electroshock therapy, etc. None of these abusive practices take place.

Reparative therapy is a cognitive therapy. It’s never forced on someone, since that is unethical. It’s about helping people who want to be set free from these unwanted behaviors.

Furthemore, this reparative therapy bans are unconstitutional, since they criminalize forms of speech. There is no such thing as forms of speech which receive second-class status. All of this is unacceptable.

Last of all, this violates the freedom of individuals to pursue the lives that they want to lead. These reparative therapy bans violate parental rights. Such incursions into family life is beyound unacceptable. Countless children’s lives have been saved, so that they could develop into strong adults who did great things in this life.

To ban a therapy which saves lives is nothing short of inexcusable!

Contact Councilman Espinoza, and contact every church in the Denver area to remind the city council whom they work for, and it is not the virulentt, abusive LGBT Lobby!
