The second largest California school district is pushing a mind-boggling array of gender ideology options, telling students that there are nine genders and 28 sexual orientations they can choose from.
According to the parental rights advocacy group, Defending Education, the San Diego Unified School District is promoting gender ideology in students as young as third grade, where it pushes a lesson packet with topics such as “Trans kids in the Boy Scouts” and “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” according to a story by The Christian Post. Outlining its mission around “dismantling systems of oppression,” the District’s website uses materials from the Zinn Education Project, Black Lives Matter and GLSEN.
“The San Diego Unified School District is committed to creating equitable and inclusive schools that ensure that students have what they need to be successful in school and life,” the web hub’s introductory statement reads.
According to The Post, on the “Youth Advocacy” page, a slide claims the nine different gender identities are: transgender, cisgender female, cisgender male, non-binary, demogirl, demiboy, genderfluid, third gender and a gender. Another slide lists 28 sexual orientations, including androsexual, panoramic sexual, graysexual and biromantic homosexual.

“San Diego Unified is just another example of ideological capture in K-12 and while I suspect most parents and staff aren’t even aware of what’s on this page of their website, it has to be interpreted as the official position of the district,” Erika Sanzi, senior director of communications for Defending Education, said in a statement provided to The Christian Post.
“Education is not compatible with a district that believes or even entertains the idea that there are 9 different gender identities and 28 sexual orientations,” Sanzi continued. “This lunacy must end or trust will be lost forever.”
The San Diego Unified School District did not immediately respond to The Christian Post’s request for comment.
