It is called \u201cNon-binary Inclusion in Sports.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPBS is clearly engaged in promoting inappropriate LGBTQ+ and Critical Race Theory propaganda to our children,\u201d said Citizens Defending Freedom\u2019s Chief Communications Officer Kristen Huber. \u201cTheir \u2018LGBTQ+Identity Kit is clearly a partisan effort to brainwash teachers and students, sowing seeds of division and hatred in an environment that should seek to protect our children, not use them as political pawns. We\u2019re calling on the federal government to immediately strip PBS of its funding. American taxpayers should not be forced to fund questionable curriculum for our children.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>About Citizens Defending Freedom:<\/p>\n<p>Founded in 2021, Citizens Defending Freedom is a non-profit organization that strategically employs county-level chapters across America to help citizens defend their faith and freedom, all while fighting for transparency in local government. Currently, Citizens Defending Freedom has official chapters in Florida, Georgia and Texas. The group is rapidly expanding its footprint, and expects to grow into one of America\u2019s largest political nonprofits.
