Testimony Prepared for the Elk Grove School District Board
Regarding a Elementary Teacher Grooming Students Via a "UBU" Club
Good evening. My name is Jed Brown. I’m pastor of Grace Church in Elk Grove.
Jesus teaches all of us - everyone within the hearing of my voice - to love your neighbor. The question is, what is “love”?
Transgenderism clearly demonstrates that “love” is NOT affirming the other person’s emotions.
Countless teens today are making choices to reject their very good and beautiful design and mutilate their bodies - especially their genitalia - based on very transitory emotions.
Now, this is somewhat understandable for a teenager. But it is reprehensible for adults who KNOW about teens’ transitory emotions and yet still encourage them to reject and self-mutilate themselves.
They SAY it is out of LOVE that they hide this from parents.
But when the teen later wants their genitalia or their breasts back - let alone their true identity - who will be there to love them then? Will that teacher, who secretly ran their transgender club, and hid it from parents? No. Then the teacher will say, the CHILD and the PARENTS are RESPONSIBLE. I was only giving them information. That is, IF you can even FIND the teacher then.
No, when the child comes to their senses, when they scream and wish they had their breasts back, when they see what they’ve done, those teachers and administrators who huddle up in coffee shops today to share ideas about how to recruit kids will be nowhere to be found.
Only the parents, and if they are Christians, their churches, will be there to pick up the pieces and love them, as they heal from drinking this poison.
But we have the opportunity TODAY, BEFORE that happens, to ask: why are we holding the bottle of poison in the first place?
Now, some would say, unless you affirm my emotions, I’ll die. I’ll cease to exist. But this is using one’s transitory emotions to terrorize those around them, and then to use themselves as a human shield against any criticism.
But we, in LOVE, say, why are you holding that bottle of poison in the first place? Can we put it down? Can we walk away? Can we find a better way? I think there IS a better way, which I preach.
But for now, I implore you, members of the school board, to consider that this is not an issue where wisdom is found in consensus. The consensus agreed, after all, with the Dred Scott decision. This is a moment for moral clarity, regardless of the consensus. And that moral clarity is this: teachers who secretly and deceptively groom students toward transgenderism should have no place in our community’s schools.
They are not loving, any more than the wolf was loving to Little Red Riding Hood. No consensus is needed as to the Wolf’s motives. The wolf simply needs to leave.
Thank you for your time and attention.
