The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools in North Carolina is promoting the "Gender Unicorn" as a teacher's assistant to help children come to terms with their sexuality.
But even though the adorable and innocent-looking purple unicorn seems harmless, Rev. Franklin Graham is warning everyone that it is not. He even accused the unicorn of being used as a tool to "brainwash our children into accepting that homosexuality and transgender behavior is okay."
"Parents, watch out. They are using this unicorn to grab the imagination of children and make this seem acceptable. Their new school policy, set to go into effect August 29, includes very concerning gender neutral bathroom/locker room policies and more," Graham says on his Facebook page.
The policy says that staff should no longer use the terms "girls" and "boys" anymore, since they prefer the terms "scholars" or "students." Plus, it will be the school that will work with the students in determining their sexual orientation, while parent involvement will be limited.
Students will be the ones who will choose the bathroom and locker room of their choice, as well as their gender-based activities such as dress codes, classes, ceremonies, extracurricular activities, and many other things.
"The Communists used brainwashing in Eastern Europe and Russia. They took the parents out of the decision-making process and the state began to make decisions about morality. This is a dangerous path," Graham warns.
Christian twins Jason and David Benham also objected to this "distubing" plan. "This little thing [Gender Unicorn] is geared to grab the imagination of our children and indoctrinate –and even intimidate – them in participating in the sexual revolution. Even the confusing gender symbol is placed over its private area!" they wrote for WND.
They said "Gender Unicorn" only proves that the "radical, anti-values sexual revolution" is accelerating at a break-neck speed, so Christians need to start speaking against ludicrous proposals such as these.
"We also need Christians to shed the 'we shouldn't be political' cover and start running for local and state elections – especially school boards – to protect our children and the common-sense decency that allows civil society to flourish," they said.
