In what comes as a rude shock to most inhabitants of Tamil Nadu, the global menace of wokeism has made its way in public-funded government schools in Tamil Nadu with the concept of LGBTQIA+ pride being celebrated in schools across the state.
In June 2024, as reported in The Hindu, Coimbatore Model School in R.S. Puram organized a pride march where 200 students waved rainbow flags, showing their “support” for the LGBTQIA+ community. The students reportedly engaged in discussions about various gender identities. The school also conducted a “gender sensitization” session, exposing children to Pride Month, its history, and the spectrum of genders and sexual orientations within the LGBTQIA+ community.
The march, which began at the school and ended at DB Road Square, featured Tamil film director Lenin Bharathi. It was also noted that a trans person interacted with the students and addressed their queries.
The event also saw the participation of V. Rajendran, coordinator for Tamil Nadu Model Schools in the western region, S. Naveenatha Krishnan, coordinator for the northern zone, and Muthamizh Kalaivizhi, coordinator for holistic development in the State’s model schools.
This seems to have been replicated in all TN Model Schools across 38 districts in the state and it was revealed at the Chennai Pride event this month.
Tamil Nadu goes one step further for creating an inclusive future society!
At #ChennaiPride, I learned that TN Model Schools across all 38 districts celebrated #PrideMonth by educating the school children about gender & sexuality etc

Netizens, baffled by this move, questioned why minors were being sexualised in the name of gender education.
Sexualising legal minors should be banned. I don’t know what’s @NCPCR_ doing at all. Is this even legal in India? https://t.co/Tuho0IwUDN

It is also not clear if parental consent was taken to introduce children to these alien concepts.
How did the state government celebrate LGBTQ pride in 38 district government schools with minor students without parent concerns? They are propagating their agenda on innocent schoolchildren 🤬.#BanLGBTQ #ShameOnYouMKStalin#ResignStalin https://t.co/ilqBQIWrdI pic.twitter.com/owF7Rg6BUO
