MassResistance Special 10-part Report:

Why LGBT “GSA Clubs” must be banned from all public schools.

PART 6: GSAs and the LGBT assault in elementary and middle schools

Under the radar, the LGBT movement’s biggest push is in elementary schools and middle schools.

It comes at the kids from all directions. LGBT books are just one method.

GSA clubs are a newer weapon aimed at the young schoolchildren.

March 6, 2026

The national LGBT movement is very serious about reaching young children. The book at the left is read by teachers across America.

Most parents are not aware of the big push in American elementary and middle schools to indoctrinate every child to accept homosexuality and transgenderism.

LGBT activists understand that early childhood is more important than adolescence for shaping such attitudes. Under the radar, the earlier grades is where the radical movement has been focused for decades.

An important first step in the propaganda machine is indoctrinating the faculty and staff of elementary and middle schools. Books like these are often even part of "professional development" training.

High school students can generally avoid or ignore much of the LGBT onslaught if they choose. But in elementary and middle schools, the students are a captive audience and unable to understand what is really going on.

For example, a lot of reporting has addressed the LGBT books for young kids on the shelves of public libraries. But it’s far worse in elementary schools. The books normalizing homosexuality and transgenderism are read to the kids directly in their classrooms and the ideas are reinforced by their teachers.

"Love Makes a Family," "Maiden and Princess," and "Prince and Knight" - these are a few of the books normalizing homosexuality that are being read to kindergartners across America.

This problem was brought to light nationally by the recent Mahmoud v. Taylor US Supreme Court ruling, which requires elementary schools to allow parents to opt-out their children from books with LGBT themes. That long court battle also brought to light the outrageous measures that school officials across the country take to prevent parents from protecting their children from that.

The propaganda comes from all directions. Young students are getting twisted messages not just from teachers, but also other school staff. As we saw in our shocking series on the Ludlow, Massachusetts school system, school counselors in middle schools (as well as elementary schools) often aggressively target vulnerable kids who “don’t fit in” and persuade them they’re really “transgender” or “gay.”

Now, elementary and middle school GSA clubs are adding new opportunities for indoctrination.

GSA clubs take the indoctrination to a higher level

In recent decades the LGBT movement began aggressively working to set up school GSA (“Gay Straight Alliance” or “Genders and Sexualities Alliance”) clubs in the early grades.

This raises a school’s LGBT indoctrination to a higher level. The clubs assume that young children can “identify” a4s LGBTQ+.  Just the existence of the club works to normalize these concepts and behaviors in students’ minds.

Usually run by an (often unsavory) LGBT-activist adult, these clubs attract troubled or otherwise vulnerable kids. Other questionable adults are often allied with club activities.

Rather than keep parents out, these GSA clubs tend to encourage the children’s parents and families to be involved – and use sophisticated techniques to make them “accepting” and “welcoming” of their child’s homosexual or transgender behaviors. Their constant use of terms such as “safe space,” “affirming,” and “inclusive” are very strategic.

The adult club advisors organize the kids (and sometimes their parents) to promote LGBT events, celebrations, and programs in the school.

Given the ages of the children involved, these GSA clubs are even more alarming than the high school equivalents.

Elementary school GSAs

GSAs in elementary schools are often called “Rainbow Clubs.” Although they aren’t as publicized as high school GSAs, they have become a serious part of the LGBT reach to young children.

Note: Grades 3-5, and includes "teachers and allies." Allies are generally unspecified adults.

For grades 2-5: A "safe, welcoming, and affirming place for all students who identify as LGBTQ+ and their allies."

In “blue” states, local governments even get involved. The Los Angeles Unified School district publishes a 20-page “Rainbow Club Activity Guide” for its elementary schools.

The Madison, Wisconsin schools support elementary GSAs by collaborating with a statewide LGBT activist organization, “GSafe.” Note in their poster below how they create fun activities with LGBT symbols to draw young children in:

Middle school GSAs

Back in 2008, we noticed something new – and disturbing – in the GLSEN (Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network) regional conference in Boston. One of the workshops was “GSA’s in Middle School?” The description:

Another workshop at that conference reported on a middle school GSA in Massachusetts that was already organized.

The campaign to expand GSAs into middle schools across the country was underway. Six years later, in 2014, MassResistance reported that GLSEN-Boston’s conference featured a middle-school student describing her school’s GSA.

Note that “safe environment” is their term for aggressively suppressing all dissent.

The conference program that year also included this workshop on overcoming barriers to setting up a middle school GSA:

Thanks to this push by GLSEN, middle school GSAs have spread across the country. And although most parents have no idea they even exist, within the school they can be very destructive, given the ages of the students and their inability to understand what’s really happening.

This middle school GSA posted a photo of the students and adults in the group.

Note: "Open to 7th and 8th graders, you can be gay, straight, bisexual, asexual, pansexual, transgender or anything else."

The emphasis on psychological deceit continues. For example, one middle school counselor has set up a website featuring “5 Tips to Starting a GSA in your Middle School.” (See Tip 4: Advertise in image above.) As a graphic from the site shows (below), the emphasis is on “safety” and “welcoming”, not normalizing LGBT sexual behaviors.

But there’s a darker side that also occasionally gets revealed. As we reported earlier in this series, this past August a middle school GSA coordinator (also the school librarian in Longmeadow, Massachusetts was arrested for child porn distribution.

Final thoughts

In elementary and middle schools, the kids are a captive audience and unable to understand or comprehend the sophisticated LGBT propaganda being directly presented to them. What’s happening in these schools is worse than criminal, because it can affect children for their entire lives.

The mainstream conservative movement is not really helping the problem by celebrating court cases like Mahmoud, which allow for opt-out as a solution. It’s not a solution. It’s a stop-gap. The LGBT agenda is still in the school and will still affect every student, even those who aren't present for an in-class reading of a bad book.

The only real solution, as MassResistance continues to tell people, is to force the entire agenda out (including radical teachers and staff) and make schools safe and normal again. That is where we are dedicating our efforts.
