State funds no longer being used for anti-sexualization event – By Jasmine Hall (Wyoming Tribune Eagle) / Oct 20, 2022
CHEYENNE – The Wyoming Department of Education will no longer appropriate public funds for a press conference in Cheyenne requested by State Superintendent of Public Instruction Brian Schroeder.
A flyer for the event labeled “Stop the Sexualization of Our Children” was recently distributed to the public and informed interested parties by email stating that the press conference would be hosted Oct. 25 at 10 a.m. in the Emerson Building on Capitol Avenue. The invitation said the event was “to bring awareness to the growing issue of the sexualization of our children,” and the ways it’s occurring in schools.
Other details on the document said that parents would be sharing their own stories, state and national leadership would speak, and legislators would attend. A meeting was also scheduled after lunch for parents, legislators and special guests.
The Department of Education informed the Wyoming Tribune Eagle it is not the organizer or sponsor of the event, despite the state superintendent being in support.
