Los Angeles elementary schools with students as young as five will celebrate ‘National Coming Out Day’ with a week of LGBT lessons including an ‘identity map’ activity

Los Angeles elementary schools with students ages five and up will participate in a weeklong celebration of National Coming Out Day starting Monday.

Part of the festivities will include an “Identity Nap” activity aimed at “teaching students to think critically about identity and intersectionality.”

A “Week of Action Toolkit – Elementary” was sent by the Los Angeles Unified School District Board of Education to elementary teachers in the district.

The toolkit reportedly outlines lesson plans the district deems appropriate for elementary school students regarding LGBTQ+ topics.

The celebration stands in stark contrast to LA’s bicoastal counterparts in Florida, which have all but banned LGBTQ+ conversations in schools, including some books.

According to the City Gazettehas assigned a celebrity each day of the week that aligns with the LGBTQ+ community.

Monday is Jazz Jennings Day, named after the notable transgender activist.

The local newspaper reports that LAUSD recommends that preschoolers focus on “What Outfit” and “What Hairstyle” before Monday. On Wednesday, students will celebrate Elliot Page Day, named after the transgender actor best known for “Juno” and “The Umbrella Academy.”

On that day, third-graders will reportedly take part in an “I Am Me” activity that includes guessing the gender of Willow Smith, Will Smith’s daughter.

Friday is Carl Nassib Day, dedicated to the “first openly gay active NFL player.”

Preschoolers will be encouraged to “take a pledge to be an ally!” on Friday.

The pledge states that students will “use kind language when talking about all teachers, staff, classmates and their families, even if they are different from themselves.”

It goes further, stating that children should “be an Upstander by standing up for others if it is safe to do so, otherwise they will ask an adult for help.”

The document was shared with the Stadsblad by a teacher. It is also noted that teachers can adapt lessons to better suit their classroom.

The LGBTQ+ celebration comes less than two months after a huge brawl broke out between groups with opposing views on Pride celebrations.

A pro-LGBTQ group clashed with a parental rights group for requiring schools to notify parents if their child identified as transgender.

Billed as dueling strikes, it saw hundreds from both parties – Leave Our Kids Alone and Ground Game LA – march to the school district’s headquarters.

Parents took action against what they called secretive and even predatory practices by the district.

“Whether it’s the school boards or Sacramento in their efforts to indoctrinate children and separate them from their families – parents have had enough,” the increasingly radical and often violent group wrote, of its past excursions outside local school boards.

More than 200 people answered the call, which would conflict with another call sent out several days later by Ground Game LA and the like-minded group Queer Nation Los Angeles.

The countercall made clear that the LGBTQ Coalition opposed LOKA’s proposed parental notification policy on the grounds that they could endanger LGBTQ+ students if their families do not accept their gender identity.

A monumental clash a few hundred yards from LA City Hall ensued, with members of the parental group proudly waving American flags and signs with parental rights slogans as they cheered on the significantly smaller group.

Reporters on the ground captured several instances of members of both groups cackling at each other – with those associated with LOKA hearing accusations of ‘sexualisation’ and ‘grooming’ towards their progressive counterparts.

The incidents became so widespread and volatile that skirmish lines had to be drawn to separate the two sides by officers responding to the scene – aerial photographs show it was completely overrun by hundreds of people at the time.
