   A North Carolina preschool used flash cards featuring LGBTQ themes to   
   teach kids colors, including one card depicting a pregnant man.   
      
   "Schools should only be using age-appropriate materials, and these   
   flashcards clearly do not meet that standard for a pre-school   
   classroom," Republican State Rep. Erin Paré said in a statement after   
   being alerted to the cards by a constituent, according to North   
   Carolina Speaker of the House Tim Moore.    
      
   Paré said a concerned constituent emailed her about the cards that were   
   being used to teach preschoolers colors at Ballentine Elementary School   
   in Wake County, NC. Paré then contacted the principal of the elementary   
   school in an attempt to verify the use of the cards in class, with the   
   principal taking "swift action" to investigate the constituents claims.    
      
   The principal was able to locate the cards in the preschool classroom   
   and verify with the teacher that they had been used to teach colors,   
   which the principal said was approved curriculum at the school. The   
   principal took possession of the cards and alerted the district   
   superintendent and human resources about the incident, which she said   
   she was unaware of until being alerted to the situation by Paré.   
      
   Cut!   
      
   "I hope schools across Wake County and the State of North Carolina will   
   follow the example of Ballentine and respond swiftly when a parent   
   expresses concern and ensure that materials like this are not being   
   used to teach young students,"  Paré said.

   The teacher was trying to warp the minds of the children, and should   
   lose the right to teach in that state.
