NEW: Denise Powell Pushes Sex Education on Kindergarteners

July 8, 2026

Democrat Denise Powell serves on the board of a organization that pushes sex education on kindergarteners and wants “elementary school kids to learn about gender identity and sexual orientation.” 

Just last week, reporting highlighted that Denise Powell told voters to read sex stories about fairies to cope with President Trump.

“Democrat Denise Powell’s record of pushing radical sex conversations on Nebraska children is disgusting and disqualifying. Dark-Money Denise continues to prove that she is out of touch with Nebraska values.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon

A Democrat running for Congress in Nebraska is tied to a leftist organization that pushes for “universal sex education” and wants elementary school kids to learn about “gender identity” and “sexual orientation.” 

Denise Powell, running in the highly competitive race for Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District, has been a board member for EducateUS, an activist organization critical of parental rights that wants to push so-called “progressive” sex education into classrooms across the country, including for kindergartners. Powell’s LinkedIn and candidate disclosure form lists her as a board member of the organization, which says it is for people who want to “dance at the revolution.”

The sex ed standards pushed by EducateUS include ensuring that 5th graders learn about “gender identity and expression” and “the basics of sexual orientation” and teaching high schoolers about “abortion access,” how racism impacts their views of sexuality, and proper condom use. 

“If you care about LGBTQ+ liberation, about ending gender-based violence, child abuse, and white supremacy, if you want to dance at the revolution, the fight for sex ed is for you,” EducateUS says on its website. 

The group says that it believes “universal sex education” can “change the world” and wants a “complete transformation” of K-12 public sex education. It says it is working with “anti-racist, feminist, and pro-LGBTQ liberation organizing forces” because “our causes are one and the same at the root.”

The group offers free training for candidates who “supports sex education, LGBTQ+ student rights, and inclusive, affirming schools for all students” and who are being attacked as a “groomer or indoctrinator.” The consulting gives candidates guidance on topics like “opposing book bans,” “stopping ‘parental rights’ overreach,” and “bathroom access.”
