The transgender agenda is now being added in children's books

Another way their shoving their beliefs down our throats. I'm fine with LGBT people, but I hate it when they force their ideas upon everyone and call people bigots when they don't agree. So anyways, here's the story. The book is called Red. It is about a blue crayon trapped in a red crayon wrapper. Everyone tries to get the crayon to be red. It can't because, "that's not who it is." In the end, it finds a green crayon trapped in a purple crayon wrapper. That's basically the entire story. Way to shove the transgender agenda into kid's minds. How subtle. At least all the stories weren't like that.

  • Why does everything have to be about sexual identity with you people why can't it be a book about acceptance without it having an "agenda"

  • Give kids some damn credit, man. They're not going to read a book and suddenly become transgender overnight. There's no "agenda" other than teaching acceptance.

      A children's book that has themes focusing on believing in yourself, overcoming the expectations of others, the golden rule, and tolerance?! This is an outrage! Even if the author's main purpose was to create a metaphor for transgenderism specifically, who the hell cares? It's done in a subtle enough way that multiple positive messages can be pulled from the story, not just transgenderism, and realistically, no little kid is going to make the connection between crayons and transgenderism on their own. I'm not sure what exactly it is you're afraid of. Kids growing up more tolerant? Additionally, the book isn't being forced on anybody. Nobody is shoving any beliefs down anyone's throats. You're ranting about a problem that doesn't exist.

      • "Book about someone who's transgender makes kids transgender" everyone agrees. "Videogames like GTA or Just Cause makes kids commit massmurder" everyone disagrees. See the logic?

            • So because a book is about being yourself, it automatically means it's about the the scary, scary "transgender agenda"! Oh mah lawd! If it is about the "transgender agenda", I have to ask, why is this a bad thing? Teaching children to be accepting of others is never a bad thing.

            • Because this [i]obviously[/i] only applies to the LGBT movement. The book is about being yourself regardless of what others want you to be. There are many other ways to look at that book other than "oh meh gerd gey propogernda"

                • I think it's less about a hidden sexual agenda, and more about being yourself/don't let other people decide who you are. Which I think is a story we all can get behind.

                    • Feeling threatened, I see? It's kind of pathetic that stories about being yourself in a completely nonsexual way are now "propaganda".

                    • Lol. Well at least it's not a story of the other crayons ostracizing the crayon to the point of suicide. Teaching the kids to be accepting isn't necessarily a bad thing.

                      • How is that solely about transgender? That could be about anything. "I was born Jewish and everyone wants me to be but I dont believe it." "I was taught that women shouldn't have equal rights by everyone but I believe they should." It can go on. The message is simply "be who you want to be, believe in whatever you want to believe in." And quotes like that are in everything. Lol

                        • The crayons who say "that's not who you are" are wrong of course. They crayon is clearly blue. The human analog would be if a guy were stuck in women's clothing and everybody told him he was a woman, despite him having the genitals of a guy. So even as transgender propoganda, the book fails.

                        • They're also trying to shove their way into my beloved star wars. It makes me sick tbh. There's also a children's book about a boy who likes to wear princess outfits. My wife, who's a teacher, was given that book by management to read to the kids; my wife hid that crap.

                            Is the book being read in schools? If not, I'm not concerned. There's children's books for all kinds of random crap.

                              They should teach it scientifically as the disorder it is. Nothing wrong with that, I mean are we discriminating disabled people now?
