Proposed NYC ‘trans’ and ‘queer’ charter school would encourage 9-year-olds to ‘explore their gender’: ‘Indoctrinating’

A proposed “trans” and “queer” issues Brooklyn charter school — which promises to let kids as young as nine “explore their gender” identity — is causing outrage from critics who are blasting it for “indoctrinating” children.

The Miss Major Middle charter school in the trendy Prospect Park area of District 13, says it would create a “genderful environment” for kids in grades 5 through 9 to “embrace their own identity, and decide how they will authentically walk, through the world.”

But the plan to instruct elementary and middle school-aged kids about such sensitive issues is leaving some parents and activists terrified.

“It’s horrifying. No charter school that’s aimed at gender ideology indoctrination should ever be approved for children this young,” said Maud Maron, a parents rights activist and community education council member in NYC. “In the most charitable light, there might be people who think they’re doing good. But this is a situation in which activists want to use and abuse children to promote their ideology.”

Maron, a former Democratic candidate for a Brooklyn congressional seat, claimed the school “rewards and encourages gender dysphoria,” adding that indoctrination leads to “physical harm – to puberty blockers and surgeries, which are irreversibly damaging to children’s bodies.”

The founder of Miss Major Middle, Joji Florence, a “proud” nonbinary parent of three and graduate of Dartmouth College, however, painted a rosy picture for the school, while describing its vision in a recent piece for Chalkbeat.
