America’s Preschools Aren’t Gay Enough, Taxpayer-Funded University Of Michigan Sociologist Warns

A sociology instructor at the taxpayer-funded University of Michigan has published an academic journal article exposing America’s preschool classrooms as hotbeds of “heteronormative play” where “traditional fairy tales” persist and “heterosexuality is always assumed, expected, ordinary, and privileged.”

The University of Michigan instructor behind the exposé of sexuality in preschool life is Heidi M. Gansen, according to Campus Reform.

Sociology of Education, a quarterly journal, published the July 14 article entitled “Reproducing (and Disrupting) Heteronormativity: Gendered Sexual Socialization in Preschool Classrooms.”

To conduct her research, Gansen observed unsuspecting little kids in nine preschool classrooms in Michigan for almost a year.

She found that “heteronormativity” is rampant in the preschool classrooms. In laymen’s terms, the word “heteronormative” means that people aren’t gay and don’t cross-dress.

Preschools promote “practices that facilitate heteronormativity in classrooms” and the “reproduction of inequalities pertaining to gender and sexuality,” Gansen writes.

Heterosexual behavior is “produced” and “enforced” by teachers and — somehow — by little preschool kids, the taxpayer-funded sociologist explains.

For example, preschool girls like to play “house” and they mimic the behavior of their mothers. To whatever extent the boys also play “house,” they don’t act like mothers. Instead, they act like fathers.

Ugh those terrible pre-schools, not disciplining kids for acting like their mothers and fathers. The school should override those archaic cisgendered parents and try to normalize homosexuality in non-sexual children. That's the true essence of tolerance.

This might be just as much a case of "publish or perish" as anything..

Regardless, good grief.

Maybe they haven't identified as anything other than their biological gender at that age.

Naw man, gotta get 'em while they're young and without sexuality.

Gansen helpfully suggests that America’s preschool teachers need to start disrupting all this “heteronormative” behavior. They need to start telling little preschool kids how great gay marriage is, she write, according to Campus Reform.

 

Ohhh

My thoughts exactly. Though, while my daughter goes to a private school, my tax dollars also funds it. And the staff there know the line they don't cross. Win/win here.

I imagine they will be introducing "reverse gender dress up time" right between show-and-tell and nap time.
