Wauwatosa School District
- A federal civil rights complaint against the district is pending. According to the complaint, the district decided to shut down a popular STEM program because it had too many white students.
A former school board member spoke out about the problem. Michael Meier said, “students and families deserve a high-quality education, which is why I am speaking out. The prolonged, arbitrary DEI-driven focus on racial composition has, in my view, undermined both education and safety, now culminating in the push to close the WSTEM school. I welcome a federal investigation and urge the public to join me in speaking out.” - Promotes LGBTQ2QIA+ resources on the district webpage including a children’s hospital that promotes “puberty-suppressing hormone therapy, gender-affirming hormone therapy, surgical treatments, and speech/voice training.”
- Sex Ed curriculum begins in kindergarten. Kindergarten lessons include:
- “Some families may have only girl children, some only boy children, trans or non-binary children, or no children.”
- “Some families are separated by immigration laws.”
- “Is it ok if some children have two mothers or two fathers? (yes)”
- Pushes transgender narratives that boys can become girls and girls can become boys. Requires the reading of a book called Sparkle Boy about a trans kid.
- Teachers are instructed to say this: “Do: If student responses don’t include body parts, ask them: What body parts do you need to have? or What does your body need to be able to do? Alternatively, if they don’t mention equipment, ask What equipment do you need?”
- Teachers are required to teach these 5 year olds about their private body parts and show them pictures—specifically: vulva/urethra/vagina, nipples, anus; penis, anus.
- They teach that: “Many, but not all, boys have a penis between their legs which they use to urinate, or ‘pee’.”
- Sex Ed Curriculum in all grades push a narrative that gender is fluid and promotes homosexuality.
- In 2022, 52 teachers and staff members wrote a letter in support of the sex-ed curriculum. They wrote: “It is our responsibility to affirm, value, and empower our students. We ask that the board refuse to let discrimination, queerphobia, transphobia, and disinformation overpower the voices of our students who have stood in front of you and asked for your support through the adoption of this curriculum.”
