Pre-k teacher attacks idea of 'childhood innocence,' claims toddlers not too young for 'sexuality' discussion
Fox News
California teacher William "Willy" Villalpando discussed bringing up gender identity, queerness and sexuality with children at the earliest ages.
Fox News found documentation that Villalpando worked in the Rialto Unified School District pre-k division from 2016 through at least June 2021, the latest date California updated teacher's records. It was unclear whether Villalpando continued to work at the district for the 2022-23 academic year, and they refused to respond. When Fox News reached out to Villalpando's Rialto district email address it was not returned to sender. Hannah Grossman is an Associate Editor at Fox News Digital.
In 2020, Villalpando called the idea of "childhood innocence" an example of "mythology."
"There is a common mythology that children live in this world of pure innocence, and that by introducing or exposing them to the real-world adults are somehow shattering this illusion for them. Therefore, there is a banning of topics and issues that children should not be exposed to, as if they are not experiencing them already."
