The War On Children | Ep. 370

Gender Education

Ben Shapiro critiques the teaching of gender identity to young children without parental consent, highlighting a controversial incident at Rockland Academy Schools. He argues that such actions undermine parental authority and confuse children, as seen in a kindergarten transition ceremony where a five-year-old was introduced as a girl without informing parents 1. Shapiro emphasizes the emotional impact on children, noting that some were left traumatized and questioning their own gender identity 2.

If you did this to my kid, if you decided to take my parenting power away from me and pretend that you are going to raise my child as the opposite sex and thereby stamp their psyche with gender confusion and put the primateur of societal approval on that gender confusion, you're doing something truly evil.

--- Ben Shapiro

He criticizes the left's agenda to promote gender fluidity, arguing it contradicts biological science and traditional values.

   

Moral Framework

Shapiro explores the notion of children making moral decisions, arguing that children are not equipped to make such choices independently. He believes that the left's push for children to have autonomy in decision-making is a guise for imposing their own beliefs on children 3. Shapiro asserts that parents have the primary responsibility to guide their children's moral development and that external influences threaten this role 4.

You have the duty to raise your child and you have the duty to raise your child under a rubric of values that makes them a better human being.

--- Ben Shapiro

He warns against the dangers of allowing educators to make decisions for children without parental input, emphasizing the importance of maintaining parental authority in shaping children's values.
