What I Saw In The New Queens Primer*pics* by 2aces(m): 11:17am On Oct 15, 2023
So I was helping my four year old daughter today with her home fun, reading the queens primer given by her school, and I was shocked to my marrow at some of the words and sentences these kids are being psychologically indoctrinated with into homosexuality. Children were made to say a sentence like "LET US BE GAY"
I was alarmed and had to immediately call the owner of the school to lay complaint and she too screamed blood of Jesus, that she always go through all materials before handing out to the teachers but this very one being the popular "queens primer" she never expected such to be inside and she had returned several books in the past on social studies that contained homosexual contents like two dads and two mums etc. She even told me some school owners get paid huge sums of dollars to intentionally circulate these materials in their schools!
She thanked me and promised to withdraw the "new queens primer" from her school.

Dear parents, always be aware of the information your kids consume cos nowadays you dont have to be in us or uk for your kids to be at risk of indoctrination. Be alert

Thank you for your vigilance and civic duty to the society.

I wonder why these scums fail to see the idiocy in their claims that homosexuality is natural and inborn when they won't stop teaching and shoving it down people's throats, particularly kids.

Why teach something you claim is natural?

Heterosexualism is definitely not taught in my opinion the way they seek to teach homosexualism.

When I was growing up, gay meant Happy. We were thought to be gay. To be clear I started Nursery 1 in 1985. So homosexuality as gay is a very very recent thing. As recent as the early 2000.

When you were growing up... what did marriage mean? Times have changed and some words have taken on additional meanings and interpretations. Don't overlook the proprietor mentioning some schools are being paid to push certain literature. Believe it or not ... the LGBTQ has an agenda to indoctrinate kids into making them gender neutral ... and they are getting laws passed to make this possible without parental consent. This is a big issue in the US ... California leading the charge ... Florida dead against it ... making any such literature or teachings illegal. Be aware of the books and the programmes your kids watch before it's too late.

P.S ... Google It's Perfectly Normal ... a booked being pushed on schools for 10 and above. Google North Carolina Pastor cut off by School Board to see the demons exposed and what our children will be facing in schools. Video may take a while to load ... not something they want many to see.

PS 2
Saw this earlier today ... featured in the Adidas Store display window. Part of the subtle agenda to indoctrinate kids ... gender neutralization. Now as an adult... with a solid concept of males and females ... what is this?

May we monitor what our kids are exposed to and guide them along they path they should take.

It is all about context.

The way that word was used does not suggest any lgbt nonsense.

Someone can no longer use some words again because people with gutter mind will interprete it as something else.

The Queen's primer is a very old book, and it has been there since the late 19th century when Queen Victoria was the Queen of the UK ( she is the Queen referred to in the primer)

Also, English words and meanings have changed drastically

Like gay. Gay used to mean happy, it is now used to refer to homosexual people.

Other words from the 19th century

Consumption. Refers to economic status now, back then , referred to someone with tuberculosis. A terminal or serious case

Homely. Refers to a woman of good character now. Back then, referred to a woman who was ugly.

Ejaculated. Used in association with the act of coitus..back then used to mean someone talking loudly, passionately and angrily

Nunnery. These days when used, people think of Catholic nuns living area. Actually an archaic slang for a prostitute's residence

Even Lesbian, these days used to refer to a female homosexual, was once used to refer to indigenes of the Greek island of Lesbos.

Also, the Nigerian publishers when reissuing the book did not change the words as they were used in the 19th century. ( Yes it happens with some reprints)


Even then, you did not err in getting the book removed. But you got too overworked over nothing really.

So where is the happy you guys are saying comes from?


At the time the Queen's primer was first published in the 19th century, being gay meant simply being happy

That was the general meaning of the word till the 1990s.

Let's also be honest, the Queen's primer is out of date even. There are much better textbooks of English out there

If he consulted a dictionary, it may give him the current definition as being referring to the LGBTQ community.

The problem is Nigerian schools using a 19th century textbook to teach today's children.

Seems like the publisher didn't do that.

The Queen's primer is an old book. Hasn't been updated since the 1940s self

Pls note that I made mention, this particular queens primer is a new edition recently published, why didnt the publisher consider the times and edit out some now considered inappropriate words and sentences out of the book? Cos the reason of printing new editions of books and literature is to update them to modern acceptable standards.
So I think that word and sentence was left there on purpose.

It is not a new edition per se.

It's just a reprint of the same old Queen's primer from the old days

Plus, I am even surprised it is still in use. I never used it in primary school. Not when there are better English textbook.

When I first saw the book in the early 1990s, it was even a copy my late maternal grandfather owned ( he was a retired teacher) from the 1950s.

I went to primary and secondary school in the 1980s and 90s. Never used that book. I thought it was something our parents and ancestors used way back to learn the white man lingo .Not us modern kids

It did.

In fact the part of the book you showed depicts children also going to play in the hay

That was true of 19th century England which was a largely agrarian society. Not England today.

( Plus I doubt most Nigerians know what hay is!)
Re: What I Saw In The New Queens Primer*pics* by Ensa777(f): 2:25pm On Oct 15, 2023
Even in the 90s we used it,gay there means happy and mad meant angry.

Even Shakespearen books uses it.
