The recording, obtained by The Epoch Times, captured two seventh-grade teachers, Kelly Baraki and Lori Caldeira from Buena Vista Middle School in Salinas, Calif., telling other teachers how to recruit students into LGBTQ clubs, also known as "Gay-Straight Alliance" clubs, at school.
The CTA has hosted similar "Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity" professional development training for at least the last two years, according to an event notice posted on the United Teachers of Los Angeles website, which asks teachers: "Do you have the courage to create a safe environment that fosters bravery to explore sexual orientation, gender identity and expressions?" However, according to Murphy, the purpose of conference in Palm Springs appeared to be about teachers showing other teachers how to undermine the authority of parents and school administrators and conceal activities related to gender inclusion and sexual orientation from them.
"The overarching theme of the classes that I attended were California Teachers instructing other teachers on how to sneak in the LGBTQ curriculum in a manner that does not alert parents," Murphy said.
In the audio clip, Caldeira advised teachers who lead LGBTQ clubs to maintain an air of plausible deniability so they can play dumb if they are questioned by parents.
"In fact, sometimes we don't really want to keep records because if parents get upset that their kids are coming? We're like, 'Yeah, I don't know. Maybe they came?' You know, we would never want a kid to get in trouble for attending if their parents are upset." Baraki backed up Caldeira's advice, suggesting activist teachers to disguise the nature of GSA clubs by calling them something less obvious.
The teachers bragged about spying on students' online searches and activity as well as eavesdropping on their conversations to identify and recruit sixth-grade students into these LGBTQ clubs whose membership rolls are kept hidden from parents.
"Student sign-in sheets will be maintained and parent/guardian permission slips will be sent home prior to a club holding a meeting." The letter states that "All messaging shared in the morning announcements" will be controlled and distributed by the principal, a practice that "Will be in place permanently." "Teachers are prohibited from monitoring students' online activity for any non-academic purpose." SUSD will follow state-approved standards and curriculum on all presentations involving "Sensitive themes such as sexuality" and "Materials of any sensitive themes will be shared with parents/guardians before being shown to students," the letter states.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
