Woke-ism - It is no longer what it once meant
SINGLE BIGGEST GROWING THREAT TODAY’S PARENTS ARE FACING
The generalized answer is the Internet. The internet, a marvel of contemporary
society, provides individuals in isolated regions access to information and
concepts they would otherwise not be privy to, thus promoting a global
understanding and acceptance of diverse and novel things. However, it also
exposes children to potentially damaging information and ideas. They share
dangerous advice on ways to inflict self-harm and conceal the aftermath. They
exchange strategies on extreme dieting to achieve the unattainable 'thigh gap.'
They upload videos of youths attacking homeless or disabled individuals,
normalizing such behaviors. They cruelly humiliate each other on social media,
sometimes to the point of causing suicide. They send explicit photos and
messages to their partners, not thinking about the potential for future
embarrassment. They upload their own thoughtless actions on the internet, not
realizing that potential employers might see these actions and decline to hire
them based on their childish misconduct.The most significant challenge parents face is staying abreast of rapidly advancing technology. Parents who are not tech-savvy find it particularly difficult to deal with these problems, as they may be completely unaware of how or where their children are encountering these detrimental influences. While the internet remains the way young minds are exposed to acts and ideas that destroy their identity, there is a lot more going on beyond the boundaries of the internet that today’s parents should be aware of.

Wokeism digs deep into everything sacred between parents and children:
Wokeism promotes the importance of being socially conscious and proactive against injustices. In the context of parenting, it challenges parents to reassess
their values, beliefs, and practices to ensure they're fostering an environment
that cultivates social awareness and responsibility in their children. Parents
are encouraged to have open and ongoing conversations with their children about topics such as racial equality, gender identity, and social injustice, which were previously considered complex or even taboo.Children, on the other hand, are growing up in an era where awareness of social issues is the norm. They are exposed to diverse perspectives, narratives, and experiences that broaden their understanding of the world. However, this shift in cultural consciousness has its challenges. While the goal of wokeism is to promote understanding and equality, its application is leading to divisiveness and confusion. Parents struggle with presenting these concepts to their children in an age-appropriate manner, or they may find themselves unprepared to handle questions and conversations about these topics. This task then is left to the education institution who themselves aren’t prepared but in many countries are required to practice it within teaching curriculum opening doorways to all sorts of flawed interpretations, agendas, and actions. When children encounter these conversations online or in school, there's a risk of them feeling overwhelmed or distressed. Critics argue that prematurely exposing children to these topics leads to anxiety or an excessively cynical worldview.Numerous parents in Massachusetts have chosen to withdraw their children from a federally sponsored sex education program that introduces genitalia to kindergarten students. The program, called "Rights, Respect,Responsibility," also known as "3Rs," instructs elementary students about gender identity and guides high school students through role-playing scenarios where homosexual and transgender couples consider becoming sexually active. The creators of this program include one active and one former employee of Planned Parenthood. Progressive advocacy organizations are intensifying their efforts to broaden the scope of sex education in elementary schools and include contentious topics such as gender identity and abortion. This style of education, often referred to as "comprehensive sex education," has sparked outrage among parents, leading many to voice their opposition at school board meetings.Advocates for Youth claim that the 3Rs program is the inaugural K-12 sex education curriculum. Since its launch in 2016, it has been implemented in 100 school districts and has reached over 2.3 million students.The curriculum provides lesson plans that guide teachers to use gender-neutral terms such as "person with a vulva" when describing genitalia. The lesson plans feature role-playing activities where students act out scenes about gay, bisexual, and transgender couples deciding to become sexually active. The program outlines how teachers can make sex education more interactive for students. For example, fifth-grade students are provided with a
diagram of male genitalia to color as the teacher explains each part. One
particular instruction humorously suggests teachers brandish a mock penis and
declare "today is the day" before teaching a lesson on condoms. How
are we normalizing this? How are we going to deal with this if the education
institutions themselves are promoting this? In the name of Wokeism we are
creating kids who struggle with identity crisis and behavioral issues. A
depressed generation of individuals who find themselves in a misplaced universe
where they feel they can never belong.It's unjust to instill in children the false belief that they are inherently oppressive due to their misgendered self-identity, or even skin color. A valid definition of racism is the unjust treatment of an individual based on their natural appearance—under the false assumption that such prejudice is justified because the individual is considered mentally, spiritually, or morally inferior due to these traits. However, this essentially encapsulates what critical race theory promotes: the obliteration of individual traits and distinct characteristics, as people are unfairly vilified and stripped down to stereotypical, anonymous members of a group. The woke initiative to classify biologically transitioning males as equivalent to biological females will inevitably undermine the lifetime achievements of thousands of trailblazing athletes.The gender-biased progressive movement permits men to use hormones and undergo surgery to become females, even though their unchangeable skeletal structure,muscle density, and organ attributes guarantee an uneven competition.The futures of thousands of young female athletes are likely to be impacted negatively.Every sprinter, swimmer, and female pole-vaulter will eventually, at some point, face the end of their career, marked by losing to a transgender woman who is biologically male.In conclusion, woke ideology doesn't revolve around compassion, equality, justice, or ethics.It serves as the power mechanism for predatory elites across all racial lines. These elites manipulate the system to favor their interests for various reasons, showing no concern for those who might be adversely affected.The challenge then is to realize that the future of our kids is in our hands and that even the education institutions should be questioned for the way they are imparting complex social lessons on topics of gender, self-identity, and morality.
