School made 11yo read trans book to kindergartners?!
The parents are outraged and say their son was very uncomfortable
Parents at a California elementary school are outraged after teachers forced their son to read a children’s book about transgender identity and then read it aloud to younger students.
Father Carlos Encinas told The UK’s Daily Mail that his 11-year-old son was assigned the book “My Shadow is Pink” by author Scott Stuart, in which he uses a child’s “shadow” as a heavy-handed metaphor for gender and sexual identity.
The 5th grader attends La Costa Heights Elementary School in Carlsbad, California.
It centers around a little boy whose shadow is pink while his heteronormative father’s is blue. “My shadow loves ponies and books and pink toys. Princesses and fairies and things not for boys,” one line of the book reads.
The book also says of another character, “Her shadow, she hides it. Her shadow likes girls.”
After Encinas’ son was given the book to read, his class was then informed that they would be reading it to the little kindergarteners in their buddy class.
“That’s actually where he felt the most uncomfortable. These little kids look up to them. They are with them twice a month,” the distressed father told the Mail.
When he and his wife took the matter to the school, however, administrators were more concerned about the impact that had been made when he shared his experience to social media.
“I was hoping that the call would be conciliatory or have some sort of a, ‘Maybe we could do better, you should have been notified.’ Zero. It was more about her trying to understand how my video was making their teachers feel unsafe,” Encinas, who said his wife is now being bullied by other parents, told the outlet.
Let’s pray for this family as they stand up to the ideologically tyrannical culture within the public school system and much of our country and world. We are all in this spiritual battle together!

We have been praying for revival in our nation for decades…and over the last few years, you can truly see that the Spirit is moving across our culture and world.
John Robert Hill Jr., known as Holy Gabanna on the internet, once garnered five million followers online for turning his crime-ridden youth into a social media brand, as CBN News explains.
Gabanna would end up in prison for the reckless robbery, vandalism, and riotous behavior that had led to his fame…and addicted to drugs as he battled the effects of childhood abuse.
"I didn't blow up with a team. I didn't blow up with a manager. I blew up from the streets," he recently explained on the God Behind Bars podcast.
But it was in a prison cell in 2018 that a bold cellmate would ask him the question that changed his life forever — “Do you believe in Jesus?”
“For that man to ask me, do I believe in Jesus? That lets me know that God was always thinking about me. Anybody else could have been my cellmate," Gabanna says.
"In jail, I encountered Jesus," he told the podcast. "A lot of people they don't understand that God speaks through people... in that moment God reached me through my cellmate."
"When I went to jail, Jesus wasn't on my mind, because to be honest. I wasn't thinking about Jesus when I went to jail,” he says. “You may not be thinking about Jesus, but he is thinking about you. But God was literally setting me up so I could have an encounter with him."
He would go on to have a profound experience in the same cell, where he started singing a Gospel song to himself and began crying like a child before being overcome with joy and laughter he’d never felt or experienced before.
His faithful cellmate explained he’d just had an encounter with the Holy Spirit!
Gabbana is now crime- and drug-free and uses his experience to share the Gospel in prisons, schools, juvenile facilities, and colleges
"If people can see me and then see how God is able to restore and flip things around. I'm not ashamed to share my failures with people because sharing my failures with somebody could really encourage them. It's never too late to make a turnaround," he says.
God is in the business of taking what is broken and mending it with miracles that tell of His glory as well as His love for mankind. Every single person is made in God’s image and has been given the opportunity to live free from bondage and sin in Christ.
Don’t ever forget just what a powerful impact you can make when you remind people that God loves them and is thinking about them and has a divine plan for their life!

A transgender-identifying college athlete recently secured three track wins with times that would have placed him in last place had he competed against other men.
Out of the three races that Sadie Schreiner for Rochester Institute of Technology a Division III Liberty League championship earlier this month, two would have finished last for men’s race — but instead, enabled the male athlete to set school records for the women’s.
Schriener, who set the finished the 400 meters in 55.07 and the 200 meters in 24.14, beating his own previous record of 24.50 set earlier this season, Fox News reported.
He has also already set school records this season after running the 300 meter race at the Nazareth Alumni Opener Invitational with a time of 41.80.
Meanwhile, as a high school student running for the boys’ team at Hillsborough High School in New Jersey, he ranks 20th fastest in school history — with a time that would also be the girls’ fastest record, too.
It is a shame that this young man is receiving treatment for his mind and soul that are encouraging him to turn away from the way God made him in shame; it is all the more heartbreaking that he is being encouraged by our culture to displace women just to try to feel more like a woman himself.
We know he is made in God’s image, and no doubt faces significant spiritual and psychological struggle, for which he deserves honest, loving, truthful support.
He is being betrayed right along with these female athletes by being encouraged to displace their hard work for his own false sense of glory. What good is it possibly doing anyone to invite the passion and anger that male athletes displacing female athletes always understandably invokes?
How is it helping him to encourage him to live a lie? How is it inviting love and compassion from these women to tell them to shut up and move over so he can beat their records?
Every single human being is endowed with dignity and rights, but that doesn’t give us a right to trample on the rights of others. This young man has the right to life and the all the basic rights the rest of us have.
That doesn’t change the unchangeable fact that women have the right to female-exclusive spaces.
Let us pray for common sense, compassion, and courage to stand up for the dignity of all human beings and rescue a generation from the deception of transgender ideology, amen?

Time to bring the kids home for schooling. Those books don't belong in schools.
Time to bring the schools to court! Everyone involved should be arrested and they should lose their teaching license. From the superintendent right on down.
