“I don’t have any children in school so what happens in the school doesn’t affect me.”
Do you live in the community? Do you pay taxes? Do you have grandchildren? Do you plan to have children? Do you interact with adults who have graduated from Grand Haven Area Public Schools?
YOUR VOICE DESERVES TO BE HEARD!
What happens in the school affects the entire community. Graduates from GHAPS will become our community leaders, physicians, store owners, engineers, factory workers, clerks, and restaurant workers. The ideas of the school become the ideas of the community.
When schools teach the ideas of diversity, equity and inclusion, those ideas become the ideas of the community. When schools expose children to explicit sexual material at a young age, teach them that gender identity is a choice and being a straight, white, Christian, male is oppressive children react. They change their sex and gender so they won’t be identified as an oppressor and will no longer be held responsible for the marginalization of minorities. When everything focuses on race, racism thrives. When situations are viewed through a racial lens, racism thrives. When everything focuses on race and students are not taught the value of hard work, they aren’t capable of working. These lessons cause a massive breakdown in society.
Seattle suburbs have been teaching these ideas for much longer than Grand Haven and the results are clear. Homelessness is out of control, drug addiction is out of control, courts implementing ideas of social justice, and local governments defunding the police has led to a major increase in crime. This selection of articles from Christopher Rufo shows how ideas of diversity, equity and inclusion in the classroom eventually permeate community politics and industry.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t want Grand Haven to become a reflection of Seattle. Parents need your help to win this fight. Many young parents themselves went through schools that presented these ideologies. The parents haven’t yet realized the destructive power these ideas create. Not to mention, parents are busy meeting the demands of their children and employers with very little time left over for monitoring the public school system. They need our help.
Every community member must speak out against the graphic sexual material offered to our children in library books, the lessons of diversity, equity and inclusion given in History and English class and the constant bombardment of the normalization of risky behaviors. One parent is not enough. Even ten parents will be dismissed. An army of citizens is needed to remove these toxic ideas from GHAPS. Become a truth warrior.
