These kids don't know basic math like addition, subtraction, division, fractions, or multiplication. They know about gay and bisexual people, what Diddy did, what kind of gun this is, who sings a song and its lyrics, and what studs and dykes are, but they don't know basic math. Parents are failing their kids, and it's not the teachers' fault because the kids just talk and play around in class. The kids don't even understand why they don't understand.

I oppose adding female-specific products to bathrooms due to schools moving towards gender-neutral bathrooms. Not all menstruating students are female, so all students should have access to these products. Non-female menstruating students may use them less, but it's crucial to provide them. Students who aren't female face stigma and barriers in asking for these products, so having them easily accessible in all bathrooms is vital.

A kindergartener had to be kept from stepping in poop and pee because kids who identify as animals go to the bathroom on the floor. This is a real problem, not something the media is making up, and the speaker's children experience it every day. They experience transgenders and people who think they're bunny rabbits, kitty cats, and dogs. Kids meow and bark at them. One speaker says kids scratch them on the back because they identify as a cat. The governor thinks it's imaginary and not happening.

We should stop wasting time on the idea that male and female aren't real and focus on improving healthcare for everyone. Unfortunately, this thinking has infiltrated our institutions, particularly in American healthcare, and it's causing harm. Children are being misled and these lies are negatively impacting their mental health, happiness, and understanding of gender. This will have long-lasting effects on their lives. It's too late to stop it completely, but we need to limit its duration before realizing it's a serious medical and social scandal. This issue is present in schools and communities, so we must fight against it to prevent further spread.

Even if you don't think you have queer kids in your library, you definitely do. It's important for both queer and non-queer kids to have representation. Knowing that queer identities are normal and exist helps everyone. Without books, kids won't know what to search for online to understand themselves, making things more difficult for everyone. Information is crucial.

Lowest income communities and communities of color are most impacted by extreme conditions and issues not of their own making. It is important to address this by giving resources based on equity. While equality is important, equity is also needed because not everyone starts out at the same place. To achieve equality, disparities must be taken into account.

How do programs like SNAP benefits impact food choices? Many SNAP benefits are spent on unhealthy foods. While I’m not familiar with how other countries manage similar programs, I know SNAP is a crucial USDA initiative. Many children in the U.S. rely on it because their families struggle to afford nutritious diets. There was significant debate about this issue previously, and I believe a key improvement would be for the U.S. government to leverage its purchasing power to buy healthier food options.

A person from an ethnic minority background explains that certain topics are taboo and sensitive, making it hard to learn about them. They question where to learn these issues if school doesn’t cover them. They wish schools had taught practical life skills, noting that they were taught in Welshback about how to apply for a bank account and how to get a job, but not about health topics. They emphasize the importance of learning about breast exams and signs of cervical cancer screenings, and when to get those screenings, arguing these are life-prolonging. They ask why these health topics aren’t taught before job-related skills, suggesting that if they aren’t living long enough, they cannot get a job.

Trans women have periods and cis women should stop gatekeeping womanhood and periods. Scientific research shows that trans women experience the same symptoms as cis women during their periods. Some may argue it's a symptom, not a period, but it's like saying a cough is a symptom of a cold, but still a cough. Stop playing games and accept that trans women go through cramps too. Instead of gatekeeping, let's focus on giving advice for dealing with periods. Personally, I prefer being left alone during my period, not wanting anyone to bother or talk to me. I enjoy taking the first 24 hours to be by myself.

Developing a personal library in your classroom can be frustrating, but it's important for kids to have access to diverse books. You can do it discreetly and apologize if you face opposition. Kids are open to seeing themselves represented in government, history, and literature. Some schools have already introduced non-gender-specific math books. While there may be pushback from the community, it's crucial to provide children with the education and resources they need to become future leaders and make positive changes.

Young black kids in the Bronx lack exposure to computers, hindering their ability to innovate. Opening up the world of technology to them can lead to diverse voices creating solutions for society's challenges.

When kids have focus issues in school and no one can figure out why they can’t focus, the lights above their heads are the cause. Doctor John Ott put shielding over the lights because they had fluorescent bulbs at that time in the school, and once he shielded the lights, the children began to be able to focus. The lights are what is making the children not be able to focus. It is suggested that not only are they wasting eighteen years of their life in a Rockefeller prison school, but also the lights are making them not be able to pay attention at the same time. What Doctor John Ott did was put shielding over the lights; he noticed that the children could focus. Kids shouldn’t even be learning in a prison system if you think about it. Kids should be outside in nature learning in nature. You could have a board. You could bring it outside. You could have a little sun. They can run around. Once they run around, then you can sit and teach. That’s how school should be. It shouldn’t be where they’re locked in a prison system getting forced vaccines and all this garbage. This is presented as a phenomenal book by Doctor John Ott: Light Radiation in You, and I highly recommend it.

Because let's be clear. This is life affirming and life saving health care. When our children tell us who they are, it is our job as grown ups to listen and to believe them. That's what it means to be a good parent. Because let's be clear. This is life affirming and life saving health care.

Many black communities face challenges such as poverty, lack of access to books, and limited conversation at home. This can impact families and children negatively.

Success in school sports depends on factors such as hard work, coaching, and access to resources. Trans students participate in sports for the same reasons as other kids: fun, belonging, community, and learning important values like persistence, leadership, and sportsmanship. They also benefit academically and stay connected to school. Every kid deserves the chance to play. To address this issue, the committee could focus on making it safer for student athletes to report harassment and sexual misconduct, as well as addressing resource needs.

Columbia is obligated to provide food to students with meal plans. It's about the community's obligation to prevent dehydration and starvation. Basic humanitarian aid, like water, should be allowed on campus.

I discuss statistics with young people to address their insecurities about their bodies. Many feel abnormal because their bodies don't match what they see on screen. I talk about the percentage of people who keep their body hair, squirt, or swallow cum to demystify these expectations. It's concerning when a fifth-grader asks about waxing at such a young age because they've seen it in a magazine. They already feel insecure about their development during puberty. Waiting until eighth grade to address these topics means three years of unlearning before they can receive this information in an affirming and literate way.

Low-income communities and communities of color are disproportionately affected by extreme conditions and issues that are not their fault. To address this, we must provide resources based on equity, recognizing that not everyone starts from the same place. While we strive for equality, we also need to consider the disparities and work towards achieving an equal standing for all.

COVID hit, agencies shut down schools for 2 years, leaving children vulnerable to abuse. Referrals dropped, kids were abandoned to abusers. Some argue it was to save lives, but children suffered more from mismanagement than from COVID itself. Schoolchildren were the least vulnerable group.

Cutting essential services has significant repercussions for American families. Denying school lunches, cutting Pell grants and student aid impacts education, leading to teacher shortages and harming special education programs. These cuts affect middle and working-class families, jeopardizing their economic stability and future. The federal government is being dismantled, limiting access to vital services and resources needed to raise families and ensure economic security. The consequences are far-reaching, impacting everyone's ability to thrive. It's crucial to understand the human cost of these cuts.

Speaker: Jared Cooney Horvath I am a former teacher turned cognitive neuroscientist who focuses on human learning, and I do not receive funding from big tech. A sobering fact our generation faces is that our kids are less cognitively capable than we were at their age. Every generation has outperformed their parents, and that is what we want: sharper kids. The reason for this largely has been school. Each generation spends more time in school, and we use school to develop our cognition until Gen Z. Gen Z is the first generation of modern history to underperform us on basically every cognitive measure we have, from basic attention to memory to literacy to numeracy to executive functioning to even general IQ, even though they go to more school than we did. So why? What happened around 2010 that decoupled schooling from cognitive development? It can't be school. Schools basically look the same. It can't be biology. This hasn't enough time to change. The answer appears to be the tools we are using within schools to drive that learning. Across 80 countries, as Jean was just saying, if you look at the data, once countries adopt digital technology widely in schools, performance goes down significantly to the point where kids who use computers about five hours per day in school for learning purposes will score over two thirds of a standard deviation less than kids who rarely or never touch tech at school, and that's across 80 countries. Bring it home to The US. Let's go to The US. We have our NAEP. That's our big data. Take any state. Here's a fun experiment you can try. Take any state NAEP data. Compare that to when that state adopted one to one technology widely, and watch what happens. The NAEP data will plateau and then start to drop. And, of course, this is all correlative. What we really want is causation. To get causation, what you need is academic research, and you need mechanisms, explanations for why we're seeing what we're seeing. Luckily, we have academic research stretching back to 1962 that shows the exact same story for sixty years. When tech enters education, learning goes down. In fact, because what do kids do on computers? They skim. So rather than determining what do we want our children to do and gearing education towards that, we are redefining education to better suit the tool. That's not progress. As we go through our discussion today, there will be a lot of talk about smartphones and social media, rightly so. But I’m the voice here to remind you that even in schools, it doesn't matter what the size of the screen is. If it's a phone, if it's a laptop, if it's desktop, and it doesn't matter who bought it. Is it school sanctioned? Does it have the word education stamped on it? It doesn't matter. All of these things are also gonna hurt learning, which in turn are gonna hurt our kids' cognitive development right at the time when we need our kids to be sharper than we are.

An 8 or 10 year old deciding to be transgender should face no discrimination. Many transgender women of color are being murdered, with the number possibly at 17 this year. Every daughter should have the same rights to be who they are.
