Overview
Queer Theory (QT) is the most dangerous form of activism taking place in our schools. Queer Theory uses "inclusion" as a cover for the radical politicization of children's minds and bodies. First, it hollows out a student's identity. Then, it repurposes the mind and body to advance a political project meant to destroy anything deemed "normal," including otherwise healthy and happy children.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Queer Theory most often enters schools through Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) commitments and agendas. Specifically, Queer Theory uses 'inclusion' as cover for its radical political practices. Activists sell 'inclusion' as the practice of making sure teacher's do their best to make all children feel included in the classroom. But this is just a marketing ploy. In reality, schools that buy into "inclusion" are receiving a product that is designed to break and exclude anything not fully controlled by Queer Theory. Anything deemed "normal" - including the healthy minds and bodies of children - must be deconstructed (destroyed).
Queer Theorists argue that schools are saturated with "heteronormativity" that excludes, hides, and silences the "lived experiences" of lesbian, gay, and bisexual kids.
Queer Theorists argue that schools are saturated with "heteronormativity" that excludes, hides, and silences the "lived experiences" of lesbian, gay, and bisexual kids.
One of the key concepts in queer theory is the idea of “heteronormativity,” which pertains to “the institutions, structures of understanding, and practical orientations that make heterosexuality seem not only coherent—that is, organized as a sexuality—but also privileged” (Berlant). Heteronormativity is a worldview that promotes heterosexuality as the normal and/or preferred sexual orientation... Heteronormativity is a form of power and control that applies pressure to both straight and gay individuals, through institutional arrangements and accepted social norms. (Illinois University Library, Queer Theory)
Activists argue that heteronormativity makes lesbian, gay, and bisexual kids feel excluded. To combat this, activists push to completely transform school governance, policies, procedures, practices, and culture. The goal is to make a school truly "inclusive", which can only be achieved when the school is entirely colonized, captured, and controlled by Queer Theory.
Curriculum, Lessons, and Discussions
Activists justify their practice of Queer Theory in the classroom by claiming that lesbian, gay, and bisexual students don't feel "seen" or "heard" in the curriculum. But they don't stop at combating heteronormativity. That is, once activists have captured a school, they don't just push to include books that include lesbian and gay characters. Activists quickly transition into the larger learning objectives and practices of Queer Theory, which include teaching children that sex is something assigned at birth, gender is a social construct, and social and medical "transitioning" are viable options for all children who want to "express their true self."
To be "inclusive" is to practice queer Theory on children by using curriculum, lessons, and wholly inappropriate discussions to teach them that there is no such thing as a "normal" sexuality or identity. Activists use Critical Pedagogy to hijack normal classroom instruction and insert Queer Theory vocabulary and concepts into everything. Children learn that they have a gender identity, gender expression, and sex assigned at birth. If they are a boy, they learn that masculinity is toxic. If they are a girl they learn that any anxiety they have about their body is a sign of radical disconnect. Activists tell kids that their gender is a social construction, so they should choose whichever made-up gender identity they would like. The point is to deconstruct children's minds - to make them feel that their troubles, including negative emotions, are the result of a mismatch between their mind, body, and society. Practicing Queer Theory on children is telling them that they can shed all of their troubles by taking off a costume that was forced on them, and then encouraging them to put on the cult robes of a political project that promises to make them whole.

Social Transitioning In School
Schools across the country encourage children to "socially transition" as part of their "inclusive" practices. And, what's worse - they hide what's happening from parents.
Many schools have gender identity and social transitioning policies and procedures. Schools now universally "affirm" students when they express a desire to change their gender identity, name, or "preferred" pronouns. Some schools go as far to stock a clothes closet so students can change into the clothing of their choice when they arrive each day. And school administrators may hide the entire social transitioning process of a child if that child indicates that they do not want their parents to know about it.

Activists and captured schools think parents aren't "inclusive" if they themselves aren't completely bought into practicing Queer Theory. The justification for hiding a child's social transition in school is framed as "unsupportive and immoral parents vs. abused child in need of help." Queer Theory dictates that inclusive schools must exclude concerned parents from the process.

In Summary
Queer Theory radicalizes the minds and bodies of children. Those who practice Queer Theory hide much of their practice from parents, keeping those parents from developing a true understanding of what types of extremely inappropriate conversations are happening in the classroom. The goal of Queer Theory is to convince children that nothing is "normal," especially as "normal" relates to sex, gender, and sexuality. Queer Theory teaches kids that sex and gender are social constructs, and pushes children into stamping their physical bodies with political messages by adopting different pronouns, styles of dress, and bathroom preferences. In the most extreme cases, Queer Theory convinces gender dysphoric youth to willingly place themselves under the scalpel to become a permanent billboard for "inclusiveness."
