The following report is by Daily Mail:
Carlos Encinas’ 11-year-old son was assigned to read a book called “My Shadow is Pink” in his fifth-grade class on May 1 at La Costa Heights Elementary School in Carlsbad north of San Diego.
The book centers around a boy who describes his father’s shadow as “big” and “blue” and his dilemma with his own shadow, which he feels is pink.
“My heart skips a beat as I put on a dress,” the main character says in the book, while wearing a gown while his shade is a feminine color. My shadow loves ponies and books and pink toys. Princesses and fairies and things not for boys.”
The book talks about other people’s shadows. “Her shadow, she hides it. Her shadow likes girls.”
After Encina’s 11-year-old read the book in his own class, the fifth graders were told they would be sharing the story with their buddy class, a class of kindergartners the fifth graders read to and mentor.
That’s actually where he felt the most uncomfortable. These little kids look up to them. They are with them twice a month.
Encinas said of his son.
Encinas and his wife reached out to the school asking why parents were not notified that their kids would be reading the book and sharing it with even younger kids.
The couple decided to share their son’s experience on their own social media to let parents know what was happening.
The parents said they just wanted future notification of sensitive topics and an option for their kids not to participate.
Carlos’ video has been shared by many people, including liberal and conservative activists.
“I was hoping that they call would be conciliatory or have some sort of a, ‘Maybe we could do better, you should have been notified.’ Zero. It was more about her trying to understand how my video was making their teachers feel unsafe.”
Carlos says the principal denied the book was about being transgender and instead said it was about ‘identity’ and being inclusive.
Additionally, he claims the school told them they would not received future notification on books on the same topics and that their child could not opt out.
While they’ve gotten plenty of support from many circles, at their elementary school. the Encinas feel that they have been retaliated against for speaking out.
Jenny, Carlos’ wife, says she’s being attacked by other moms at the school.
“The PTA president organized a ‘Pink out the Hate,’ as in ‘We are hateful’ and in the support of the book,” she explained. “It has made my physically sick. My younger son wouldn’t go to school. My older son was brave enough to go but he came home feeling like, ‘Everyone wearing pink is against me.'”
The school district did not immediately respond to a request for comment from DailyMail.com.
“We’ve been called racists. I’m Hispanic,’ Carlos said. We’ve been told we’re anti-LGBT. We don’t hate anyone, we don’t want them to feel excluded. We just want to know parents to know what their child is reading in school.”
With the school doubling down on its position not to notify parents about controversial or sensitive topics, the Encinas are considering moving their sons to a private school.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
I’m just a broken record at this point: take your stink’n children out of these God-forsaken hellholes, juvenile delinquency centers for the ‘good’ and ‘obedient’ children. The programming has gotten so out of hand that the children are being forced to instruct their brainwashing to some of the youngest in society. Just abominable.
Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Jude 7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

“Carlos says the principal denied the book was about being transgender and instead said it was about ‘identity’ and being inclusive.” Newsflash! You are in EDUCATION!!!! You are supposed to teach SUBJECT matter. Let the parents deem whatever else they need to know, and when – you smarmy indoctrinators!
Not only that, read the pre-schoolers and first graders Dick, Jane and Spot. Remember that one? The one that teaches them how to actually READ.
Although better than what’s offered today, the Dick, Jane, and Spot readers were not all that great for teaching kids how to read. Back in the day, the Catholic schools, while a nightmare in some ways, had better books to read with some intelligent content besides three-letter sentences like See Spot Run, etc. After transferring to a public school, I was always placed in an honors English and/or reading class. More importantly, we were taught phonetics which I was informed was almost nonexistent in the typical public schools.
This is on par with child molestation, and speaking of which: these LGBTQ devils want to legalize pedophilia and be called LGBTQIAP! America is doomed! Conservative, liberal, it doesn’t matter either which way.
And to all the Trumpsters who grovel at the feet of Trump and kiss his $10,000 shoes, that Jesuit and liberal in disguise isn’t going to save America. Whether it’s Trump, Biden, or Spongebob that’s president, America is doomed and done!
Maybe Trump won’t save the country., actually I know that he won’t, but God will. Pick a side.
Honestly, you could say that the book seems to speak some truth, in that the pink “shadow” is like a devil. He’s devil-possessed. Lol.
That’s a clever observation, Anthony!
It’s not a shadow, it’s a devil.
Only answer is a lawsuit. That is all these monster creatures from hell understand. There are many non-profit legal groups that can assist at no cost to the parents. Posting on social media is asking for trouble. Big mistake. Unfortunately, good honest people learn the hard way. If I were that boy’s parent, the lawsuit would have been drafted, filed and served ASAP. What are they waiting for???
Col 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
This is why people are so screwed up, they believe this crap, instead of trusting what the KJV Bible says.
Just because a kid likes the color pink means nothing or dolls or whatever(I played with GI-Joe ) but telling that you can be a girl if yer a boy and visa-versa goes against what God has laid out, i.e. man’s thinking…
Gen 6:5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
Amen David Aarons, and think on the bright side one’s war kicks off those child offenders will be doomed and hopefully war would snap the parents of those children out of there ways and keep their children with them at all times (sometimes it has to take a bad situation for someone to snap out of rainbows and sunshine and into reality)
It’s too bad we don’t have an upvote on this forum. I would’ve upvoted every comment. It’s too bad the world is going to hell in a handbasket and trying to drag the kids with them, but God has another plan for them. They will be taken out of here when He calls us Home in the Rapture, so they might TRY to mess with their minds, but only for a short time. I pray it is soon. These kids will be dumbfounded on this subject. It’s WAY over their heads and even the 5th graders shouldn’t be exposed to this knowledge. Come quickly, Lord Jesus. We and the children need to be with YOU.
Amen, Char
