Gretchen Whitmer faces Republican challenger Tudor Dixon on Tuesday in the second and final debate before voters head to the polls in two weeks. With recent polls showing Dixon and Whitmer in a statistical dead heat, one line of inquiry ignored during the first showdown between the candidates could send Dixon to the governor\u2019s office: Whitmer\u2019s support for Democrats\u2019 indoctrination of children on sex and gender.<\/p>\n<p>When the Michigan gubernatorial candidates faced off during their first debate on Oct. 13, 2022, the moderator hit the main themes dominating midterm-election discourse: the economy, inflation, crime, Covid, abortion, and education. But other than Dixon condemning Michigan schools for teaching students \u201csex and gender theory,\u201d and not how \u201cto read, write, and do math,\u201d the debate ignored the propagandizing of children in the public school system.<\/p>\n<p>Two recent developments make the issue ripe for a thorough probing of the candidates\u2019 positions during tonight\u2019s debate.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>First, Margaret Brennan, host of CBS\u2019s \u201cFace the Nation\u201d segment \u201cEye on America: Election Influencers,\u201d revealed that the sexualizing of children and the peddling of gender-identity ideology in schools worries Americans on both sides of the aisle \u2014 and down the middle. Brennan discovered that reality when she asked a focus group last week for their \u201cbiggest concerns about raising children in America right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Republican participant identified the LGBT community\u2019s push for sexual and gender identity material in the schools, countering that \u201cwe should be pushing actual school studies, math, social studies, science, not gender studies or sexual identifications.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The CBS host then asked the Democrat member of the group to weigh in, which the mom of eight saying, \u201cI can also agree with some of his points.\u201d The mom then noted that with sex education, schools are bringing things to children\u2019s attention that \u201cthey wouldn\u2019t even think about.\u201d The Democrat panelist added that you can teach one thing at home, but the kids are \u201cas much influenced by teachers and surroundings\u201d and that parents should have more input.<\/p>\n<p>To the Republican and Democrat comments, the independent member of the focus group said simply, \u201cI agree,\u201d before highlighting concerns over education caused by Covid lockdowns.<\/p>\n<p>That the Republican, Democrat, and independent focus-group participants all shared concerns about the sexualizing of children in schools shows the significance of the issue. But in Michigan, the issue deserves a special focus given the fight over sexually explicit books in school libraries playing out in the state\u2019s sixth-largest city of Dearborn.<\/p>\n<p>This is the second recent development. The same night Dixon and Whitmer dueled in their first debate, the Dearborn School Board heard from scores of residents outraged by the inclusion in the school libraries of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clickondetroit.com\/news\/local\/2022\/10\/13\/these-are-the-6-library-books-being-reviewed-by-dearborn-public-schools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">six<\/a> sexually explicit books, including \u201cThis Book Is Gay,\u201d which <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/10\/11\/muslim-community-dearbon-school-board\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">details<\/a> the \u201cins and outs of gay sex.\u201d The school board hearing ran several hours and followed the cancellation of an earlier meeting after the overflow crowd of angry parents refused to abide by the board\u2019s protocol.<\/p>\n<p>Like the \u201cFace the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two recent developments make the issue ripe for a thorough probing of the candidates\u2019 positions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":499,"featured_media":1709716,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[546],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1709711","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-federalist"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1709711","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/499"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1709711"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1709711\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1709716"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1709711"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1709711"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1709711"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
