Pre-K Students Taught to Use ‘Tree’ Pronouns
Posted On 03 May 2022
The Evanston–Skokie School District has adopted a radical gender curriculum that teaches pre-kindergarten through third-grade students to celebrate the transgender flag, break the “gender binary” established by white “colonizers,” and experiment with neo-pronouns such as “ze,” “zir,” and “tree.”
I have obtained the full curriculum documents, which are part of the Chicago-area district’s “LGBTQ+ Equity Week,” which administrators adopted last year. The curriculum begins in pre-kindergarten, with a series of lessons on sexual orientation and gender identity.
The lesson plan opens with an introduction to the rainbow flag and teaches students that “each color in the flag has a meaning.” The teacher also presents the transgender flag and the basic concepts of gender identity, explaining that “we call people with more than one gender or no gender, non-binary or queer.”
Finally, the lesson plan has the teacher leading a class project to create a rainbow flag, with instructions to “gather students on the rug,” “ask them to show you their flags,” and “proudly hang the class flag where they can all see it.”
In kindergarten, the lessons on gender and trans identity go deeper. “When we show whether we feel like a boy or a girl or some of each, we are expressing our gender identity,” the lesson begins. “There are also children who feel like a girl and a boy; or like neither a boy or a girl. We can call these children transgender.” Students are expected to be able to “explain the importance of the rainbow flag and trans flag” and are asked to consider their own gender identity.
The kindergartners read two books that affirm transgender conversions, study photographs of boys in dresses, learn details about the transgender flag, and perform a rainbow dance. At the end of the lesson, the students are encouraged to adopt and share their own gender identities with the class.
“Now you have a chance to make a picture to show how you identify,” the lesson reads. “Maybe you want to have blue hair! Maybe you want to be wearing a necklace. Your identity is for you to decide!”
In first grade, students learn about gender pronouns. The teachers explain that “some pronouns are gender neutral” and students can adopt pronouns such as “she, tree, they, he, her, him, them, ze, zir, [and] hir.” The students practice reading a series of scripts in which they announce their gender pronouns and practice using alternate pronouns, including “they,” “tree,” “ze,” and “zir.”
The teacher encourages students to experiment and reminds them: “Whatever pronouns you pick today, you can always change.” Students then sit down to complete a “pronouns workbook,” with more lessons on neo-pronouns and non-binary identities.
In third grade, Evanston–Skokie students are told that white European “colonizers” imposed their “Western and Christian ideological framework” on racial minorities and “forced two-spirit people to conform to the gender binary.”
The teacher tells students that “many people feel like they aren’t really a boy or a girl” and that they should “call people by the gender they have in their heart.” Students are encouraged to “break the binary,” reject the system of “whiteness,” and study photographs of black men in dresses and a man wearing lipstick and long earrings. “It is a myth that gender is binary,” the lesson explains. “Even though we are all given a sex assigned at birth, you are not given your gender. Only you can know your gender and how you feel inside.”
At the end of the lesson, students are instructed to write a letter to the future on how they can change society. “Society right now is very unfair,” reads a sample letter. “I see a lot of marches on the T.V. and I even went to a march last summer.”
The curriculum in the Evanston–Skokie School District is the perfect illustration of college-level Queer Theory translated into early-elementary pedagogy. For weeks, as the nation has debated Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Act, which prohibits public schools from teaching gender identity and sexual orientation in grades K–3, commentators on the political left have claimed that public schools do not teach this material and have accused conservatives of instigating a “moral panic.”
This claim is demonstrably false, and the Evanston–Skokie lesson plans offer additional proof for parents and legislators concerned about gender ideology in American public schools.
Queer Theory has made its way into public school curriculums for children as young as four. This development should be subject to robust political debate, not denial and dismissal from the political Left.

YOU EVIL MINDED IDIOTS.WAIT UNTIL OUR GOD GETS HOLD OF YOU.
were in the hell are the parents they need to stop whats going on right now.
Can’t read this crap any longer. It turns my stomach.
Sick
They are brainwashing children at a most vulnerable age.
This movement is proof that parents should enroll children in Catholic schools as an alternative to save them from this travesty.
Scholarships are available.
Matthew 18:6-14 “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.” (Bible, New International Version) Just sayin’
This is about the stupidest thing I have ever heard in my 64 years of living! These teachers and school boards should be sent to Gitmo for the rest of their twisted,IGNORANT,PATHETIC lives!!!! You are sick!!!
Your site sucks!!!!! Where is my comment?????
Never mind…didn’t come up until I got out and came back in…sorry!!!
Absolutely ridiculous & insane !!! They’re all crazy !!! They have literally lost their minds !!! We need to fight against this with every breath we take !!! Our children need an EDUCATION PERIOD !!!! Not anything else !!!!
I am a gay man and I can’t stomach this garbage. It angers me and makes me disgusted that I am even part of this garbage!!!!
It is up to the parents to raise their children and not these Fing so called teachers. What a load of crap and gutter trash we have in society. Not every individual in the LGBTQ community feels this way and unfortunately it is embarassing to even be locked in with the leftist trash that are trying to corrupt and confuse children. Parents stand your ground and DO NOT LET THEM CORRUPT YOUR CHILDREN! I would stand by you and your children before I would stand by the disgusting immoral values trying to be pushed by the left!
This indoctrination! Thirds topics have no place in preK- 12. Kids are being sexualized for trafficking.
Parents better listen up.!!!!
this Jesuit saying is very old — “give us a child till he’s 7 and we’ll have him for life.” It works.
The wolves are at the schoolhouse door and unless and until parents begin to take control of the school curricula, whole generations will be lost to this leftist crap.
If we even wondered what was gonging to bring this country to its knees, this is a great deal of it. Not only do we have to put up with the leftist crap the democrats are doing, but we have to put up with our children being brainwashed by teachers. We need to get back to traditional education. Stop this leftist brainwashing garbage.
Everyone good parent with children should move to Florida, where they will be protected from this garbage.
My post didn’t show up.
So kids should only be interested in the people with new pronouns ? Are the nonlgbt kids not entitled to their own pronouns which they are already familiar ?
These groomers are Satanic! Your gender isn’t “assigned” at birth, it is RECOGNIZED by an expert–doctor or midwife. God created “male and female,” He didn’t create any convertibles!
How long before the Left decides that religious schools – Catholic, Evangelical, Orthodox Jewish – have to teach this shite or else lose funding etc etc? And what have the parents of the kids enrolled in the Evanston-Skokie system had to say about any of this? And how soon before the woke little ones start to denounce their parents for their failure to follow the party line? It’s “1984”, people. If you haven’t read it recently, do so immediately (that is, if your local library still has a copy. . .)
It has already happened in some of the religious schools! More people need to home school!!
I can only imagine how tough it is to be parent but NOW the schools are working against us !
I feel like Rip Van Winkle , awakening after a long slumber to find that almost everyone has downed the kool-aid . What happened ?
They teach the colors of the Rainbow flag but not the colors of our United States flag! You are teaching FILTH to our children. You are poisioning their minds, taking control and grooming these children how to be good Communists! You are paid by our taxes!! Parents WAKE UP and stop what’s going on in most of the schools here in America!!! Get rid of these SICK SCUM that call themselves teachers (and I am using that term loosley). Parents only want the basics taught by you! Keep your WOKE books for yourselves and your own children! Just teach straight math, reading, writing, science and history. Stop teaching your woke ideas, stop grooming our children, and stop sexualizing our children before they even know or understand wether they are male or female.
My own daughters wanted boy toys when they were pre kidnergarden. They all grew up to be married and mothers. Stop tripping children up with your stupit, foolish, damaging WOKE Filth!!
The entire education “system” needs a complete overhaul. Everything from Pre-K all the way through college. The teachers union has hi-jacked our kids and this corrupt President Joe Biden is playing right into their hands. This country is in a crisis from the top down. Stop with the WOKE shit. Americans are not stupid and don’t need to be brain-washed with your obscene ideas!!!!!
And don’t forget, all the schools will be flooded with a bunch of illegal aliens that don’t speak English, which will slow our kids education down, Joe Biden needs to get the f out, HE SUCKS
