Virtual Schools Caught Pushing Gender Ideology Behind Parents’ Backs
Two K-12 virtual public schools in Florida have been caught red-handed conducting a “Pride Snack and Chat” session on gender identities without notifying parents.
In other words, schools are secretly talking to children about sexuality.
This covert operation, carried out by Pearson Online Academy and Connections Academy, has ignited a firestorm of controversy and raised serious questions about the infiltration of radical gender ideology into our education system.
The session, which was deliberately hidden from parents and not listed on the online calendars they use, introduced young students to a plethora of confusing and potentially harmful gender identities. Terms like “sexually fluid abrosexual,” “masexual,” and “syndemisexual” were presented to impressionable minds, along with promotions for organizations such as GLSEN and The Trevor Project, known for their aggressive LGBTQ+ advocacy.
Florida’s K-8 schools cannot teach about LGBTQ topics, but discussing them is allowed, a new settlement clarified.https://t.co/4vc4NN21YA

Pearson’s DEI Agenda Exposed
This incident is not an isolated case but part of a larger pattern of behavior by Pearson, the company managing these virtual schools. Pearson has a documented history of advocating for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and pushing gender issues in educational materials. The company’s commitment to this ideological agenda raises serious concerns about the objectivity and appropriateness of the content being delivered to our children.
One Florida parent described the news as “pretty disgusting” and “grotesque.”
The sentiment expressed by this Florida parent echoes the feelings of many who are rightfully outraged by this blatant attempt to indoctrinate children without parental consent. It’s a stark reminder of the ongoing battle parents face in protecting their children from the insidious spread of gender ideology in schools.
Florida Takes Action
In response to this egregious violation of parental rights and Florida law, Education Commissioner Manny Diaz, Jr. has launched an investigation into the programming. The “Snack and Chat” content likely violates Florida’s rules against exposing K-12 students to topics of gender or sexual orientation, a measure put in place to protect children from inappropriate and potentially confusing material.
“As commissioner of education, I expect you to govern yourselves according to state law,” Florida Education Commissioner Manny Diaz, Jr. said.
Commissioner Diaz’s stern warning serves as a clear message that Florida will not tolerate the circumvention of its laws designed to protect children and uphold parental rights in education. This incident underscores the importance of vigilance in monitoring the content being taught to our children, even in virtual learning environments.
This has to stop.
