I'm so glad I was born in the late sixties because people born in 2000 are unbelievable. And that's putting it nice for Twitter

I thought there was no such thing as gender. What happen? Did we change our minds?

I don’t agree with what they doing It will mislead children wrong way

The men in the word women is slowly be eliminated. We all shall be W/O very soon. The USA has lost it's collective mind. smh

Well $hit, why don’t you just throw them all in the gym and let them just orgy it out?

Garbage news

Teaching your kids about sex should be the job of the parents. Parents are codependent on the State to raise & educate their kids & they wonder why so many of them are confused, isolated, lonely, & afraid.

Can we stop this make believe world that the left lives in and focuson their mental illness? My god this is so childish..... And stupid......

All of this is the responsibility of parents. As is educating their kids. Public schools are trash. Defund the schools and refund the tax payers!!

young boys don't need to be around fresh faced naked young gurls mr news because they pass thoughts laws your gurls will get boys to look at her body in a gender blended bathroom while he showers and look at all those bodies naked. somebody is going to be touching

Bat shit crazy

They focused on leaning about shit their parents should be talking to them about. They should be asking for more classes to teach them about nutrition and how to stay healthy.

They need to learn more about this.. 🇺🇸

Here is ABC-News, abusing the term 'Gender' again, as do so many people. There are three genders, Masculine, Feminine, and Neuter. Biologically, based upon 'Primary' rather than 'Secondary' characteristics there are two sexes. Why are people afraid of the word 'sex' itself? Relax

you have more rapes and babies
