New Jersey’s New 2nd Grade Gender Indoctrination Curriculum Starts with a Lie

Robert Walker

TRENTON, NJ – A course plan published by the New Jersey Department of Education wants teachers to tell boys and girls in public schools that it’s alright to be whatever gender they want to be. The lesson plan starts out with the DOE asking teachers to lie to the students to open the conversation.

Starting this fall, New Jersey’s second-grade public school students are required to get a crash course in progressive liberal “woke” gender indoctrination, according to the DOE. The basic principle of the lesson is to let children know that their body parts don’t define gender.

In the lesson plan entitled Pink, Blue and Purple, the DOE, under the direction of the administration of Governor Phil Murphy, the goal of the plan is to tell children they can be whoever they want to be, choose their own gender, and play with any toys and to not be afraid about it.


Except, the lesson itself recommends teachers start the indoctrination with a little white lie. That white lie involves the teacher concocting a fake story about a dilemma they’re having while trying to pick out a card for a friend who is having a baby.

“Tell the class that you have a friend who just had a baby. You want to send your friend a card to say congratulations, but you can’t decide between two cards and need their help,” the lesson plan advises teachers. “Hold up the two greeting cards and ask, “Which one do you think I should send?” [Students will likely ask whether the baby is a girl or a boy]. Ask, “If it were a girl baby, which card would you tell me to send ?” [They will indicate the pink card] “And if it were a boy baby, which would you tell me to send?” [They will indicate the blue card].”

Even if you don’t have a friend who just had a baby and you don’t have to decide between cards or gifts.

The teacher is then instructed to debate the children’s perception of what boys and girls are.

“Why should I send this card to a boy baby and this one to a girl baby?” the teacher should ask the students.

The plan outlines possible responses from children and responses teachers should provide in kind.

“You might feel like you are a boy; you might feel like a girl. You might feel like you’re a boy even if you have body parts that some people might tell you are ‘girl’ parts,” the teachers are instructed. “You might feel like you’re a girl even if you have bodyparts that some people might tell you are ‘boy’ parts. And you might not feel like you’re a boy or a girl, but you’re a little bit of both. No matter how you feel, you’re perfectly normal!”

Other parts of the lesson tell boys it’s okay to play with dolls, explaining to them about gender stereotypes.

“Say something like, “No matter your gender, you can play with any of these toys. You can wear whatever clothes you want, or have long or short hair. Be who you are, and enjoy playing with whatever toys you enjoy playing with,” the course reads.
