It further states that the association FRI "throughout 2020 has provided professional feedback on teaching materials from Cappelen Damm and two teaching materials from Gyldendal. We have also contributed to curriculum literature for associate professor students at UiO"“
In other words, one can draw a common thread from the FRI association to the textbooks for children down to grade 4. When it comes to Aschehough publishing house and the Arena learning books for elementary schools in social studies, it appears that one of the authors of the textbook is former deputy chairman of the FRI association, Guro Sibeko.
Four other documents contain cooperation agreements between the association FRI and the School Leaders' Association, the National Association of Schools, the Pedagogical Students and the Trade Union Federation. All of the agreements express their support for FRI's Pink Competence School and their teaching program.
The agreements state that all the unions will “strengthen their competence and the competence of their members on gender and sexuality”. The unions want to use resources from Rosa Kompetanse in the training of members and elected representatives. In addition, all the unions will each have a place for a representative on the steering group of FRI’s Rosa Kompetanse Skole.
The agreement with the Trade Union also states that “The Trade Union shall use lecturers from FRI in the Trade Union’s training of employees in the early childhood sector and in kindergarten.”
Yes, you read that right. In kindergarten.
On the website of the Association FRI under their political platform, they themselves have written about their most important function as a queer interest organization: “One of our most important tasks is to conduct advocacy work towards the wider society, such as politicians, organizations, authorities, business and mass media. This work is conducted locally, regionally, nationally and internationally, including through pride and other queer events.”
The FRI association has the power to define pride, sexuality and gender, and thus the content of sexuality education. These are large cultural areas that affect much of society, from a small interest organization with 4,000 members.
FRI has influence on what has already been included in school textbooks and FRI strongly influences how politics and legislation are formulated. Dozens of associations and organizations are closely linked to the FRI association's spread of queer theory. From unions to associations, companies, agencies and political parties.
FRI receives tens of millions in public funds annually. One wonders if the state pays the FRI association to conduct advocacy work and change culture, laws, education and norms for everyone in the country. Public funds are used to run the FRI organization's work, and the state bureaucracy rolls out queer theory from the FRI association as the basis for state action plans, curricula and medical guidelines.
Other major promoters and supporters of FRI who want queer theory in schools, kindergartens, teaching and into society in general are: Sex and Society, Queer Youth, the Patient Organization for Gender Incongruent, Sex and Politics, Queer World and the Human-Ethical Federation. The list is much longer than this.
