“Parents are demanding answers after a self-described ‘science of BDSM’ expert from a clinic providing trans surgeries and representatives from organizations that help facilitate gender transitions were scheduled to speak at a California high school during a recent week of events supporting LGBTQ students,” reports Real Clear Politics:
In late March, parents started speaking out against a decision to allow Mita Beach, a self-described BDSM (bondage, discipline, sadism, masochism) expert, and representative of DAP Health, a medical clinic that provides gender transition surgeries, to deliver remarks at Sage Creek High School in Carlsbad, California. during a lunchtime event in the cafeteria open to all students.
Parents learned that Beach, who lists his pronouns as “they/them” on his LinkedIn account, planned to speak as part of the Gender Sexuality Alliance club’s “Ally Week” of events promoting the LGBTQ community and anti-bullying messaging.
After looking into his business websites and social media accounts, which contained at least one photo of Beach engaged in BDSM and listed workshops he’s led on “Kink 101” and “Examining Self-Injurious Behavior, Erotic Play, and Body Modification,” several concerned parents contacted the high school and district superintendent’s office….
Parents at Sage Creek High School are demanding answers after the school scheduled a BDSM “expert” named Mita Beach to speak to students during a school LGBTQ event.
In response to parent complaints, the school reportedly doubled down on their position, claiming they will NOT provide an opt-out for students and will not inform parents about speakers or let them on campus to hear the speakers…. photo of Beach, appearing to hold up a much smaller person who is grasping his bare back as whips and chains are displayed in the background, along with screenshots of his LinkedIn resume, quickly circulated on Instagram.
Eventually, in response to a public furor, the BDSM “expert” had his appearance canceled. But the school hosted “two other speakers from organizations that help facilitate gender transitions and surgeries.”
This happened in progressive California. But living in a centrist area often won’t keep your kids from being exposed to sexual kinks and wokeness in their school. Daniel Buck of the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty explains in the Wall Street Journal:
Wauwatosa, Wis., a suburb of Milwaukee, is about as average as it gets. It’s politically split, helping to elect Republican Gov. Scott Walker in 2014 and President Joe Biden six years later….What happens in Wauwatosa likely happens in countless other districts…
In 2022 the Wauwatosa school board approved a new sex-education curriculum…it expects sixth-graders to define different types of sexual intercourse. Kindergartners learn about genitalia with the help of cartoon drawings and third-graders are informed that, no matter their body parts, they may feel like another “gender.”…the newly adopted units are based on the National Sex Education Standards, which encourage teaching third-graders about puberty blockers, sixth-graders about abortion and students as young as kindergarten about “gender identity.”
Wauwatosa is one of thousands of districts to have adopted a “restorative justice” policy. This is an alternative to traditional discipline structures that emphasizes dialogue over punishment and focuses on revising school policy rather than changing student behavior….At McKinley Elementary School, disruptive students received treats “in the form of food and beverages” and a chance to play games in the office instead of a standard detention.
To no one’s surprise, Wauwatosa schools have developed a reputation for permissive discipline and frequent fights. The chaos that results from leniency has led to more expulsion notices than is typical.
