Indoctrinating young people with transgender ideology clearly remains a top priority for many on the left.
One glaring recent example comes from Minnesota, where a new initiative seeks to impose that worldview on children in one of the most direct ways imaginable.
And as New York Post reported, the state’s taxpayers will be footing the bill:
“First-of-their-kind” transgender dolls — complete with removable genitalia — will debut in some Minnesota classrooms this fall to kids as young as 4 years old.
ADVERTISEMENTThe paper dolls, with gender-neutral names like “Sam,” “Rory,” “Avery” and “Parker,” have removable internal and external genitals, along with more than 100 interchangeable pieces of clothing, accessories and hairstyles — like a trans Mr./Mrs. Potato Head.
The goal is for kids to “learn about the different options that exist for who they can be,” according to a therapist at the University of Minnesota Medical School, which spent over half a decade developing the controversial project funded by lefty Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz
The Medical School’s Institute for Sexual and Gender Health research over those six years included paying $20 to $60 for “trans and gender diverse” children and their parents to play with the dolls and “talk about gender and bodies” in groups.
The program drew some backlash on social media:
Unbelievable satanic bull shit. I wonder how those Muslims up there are going to like this? I'm guessing not so much. This should be illegal!!!!

The progressive left wants to destabilize the population by destroying traditional values. Entering this level of confusion to a child is an effort to create victims.

Here’s the full text of the post above:
Taxpayer-funded transgender dolls headed to Minnesota classrooms this fall.
“First-of-their-kind” paper dolls with removable genitalia will be introduced to some Minnesota classrooms for children as young as 4 years old, according to a New York Post report.
ADVERTISEMENTThe dolls, developed over six years by professors at the University of Minnesota Medical School’s Institute for Sexual and Gender Health, come with gender-neutral names like Sam, Rory, Avery and Parker. They feature more than 100 interchangeable pieces of clothing, hairstyles, accessories — and detachable internal and external genitals.
The stated goal is for kids to “learn about the different options that exist for who they can be.”
One of the co-founders, Associate Professor Dianne Berg, previously said:
“Everyone should be learning that there’s diversity in gender identity and that what makes you real is not what your body parts are, but how you think and feel.”
She added that she has already begun using the dolls with her own patients who are between five and ten years old. (Video: AI)
The university’s Medical School receives $15 million in annual state funding. Critics, including Dr. Quentin Van Meter, past president of the American College of Pediatricians, have raised serious concerns about the age-appropriateness of introducing such materials to young children.
A university spokesperson said no public funds supported the commercialization of the dolls, but declined to detail how much taxpayer money went into the research and development.
In my view, directing public resources toward materials of this nature for preschool and elementary-age children raises serious questions about both fiscal priorities and developmental suitability. At the very least, parents must have a clear and unambiguous right to opt their children out. Many critics go further and argue the entire program should be shut down.

Meanwhile in Minnesota, Linda Hunsberger has a warning for parents based on her experience, as this recent Alpha News report explains:
Hunsberger told Collin that during the past 10 years, she’s been helping other parents deal with what she considers predatory transgender ideology in some schools.
In 2024, for example, a school counselor in the Rochester school district blew the whistle and called out the administrative guidelines for trans students, which state that parents will be provided with information about whether their child is transgender only if they request it.
Hunsberger explained to Collin how she spoke up back then and wrote a letter to the school district.
ADVERTISEMENTIn speaking up, unfortunately from her own experience, Hunsberger urged the district to change its policy:
“Many parents do not see their child’s ‘Trans’ identity coming. Schools that withhold this information are robbing parents of necessary time.
“These parents need the time we did not have. Upon coming out in 2014, our child asked us to help with a medical transition. We asked for time. Time to understand what this meant and how to best help. It wasn’t enough time. Six months later our child suddenly disappeared not to be seen by us since.”
Here’s some additional coverage:
