Tim Walz let fraudsters steal $250 million meant to feed hungry children – now he's spending your money on sex-organ toys for preschoolers.
Walz pushed a six-year University of Minnesota Medical School project that places dolls with removable, interchangeable genitalia into classrooms for children as young as four.
And there's one more thing Walz did with the institute behind this project that every Minnesota parent needs to know.
What Walz's Researchers Built for Your Four-Year-Old
The dolls are called MyGender Dolls, with gender-neutral names like "Sam," "Rory," "Avery," and "Parker."
Each one comes loaded with removable internal and external genitals, plus more than 100 swappable clothing pieces, accessories, and hairstyles – anatomy as a costume party, for four-year-olds.
University of Minnesota postdoctoral fellow Ben Parchem, Ph.D., explained the goal: help children "realize all the different options that exist for who they can be – regardless of their body parts."

That quote appeared in the University of Minnesota Foundation's magazine.
Then the university deleted it.
The project spent over six years in development at the university's Eli Coleman Institute for Sexual and Gender Health, during which time researchers reportedly paid children and their parents between $20 and $60 per session to handle the dolls and discuss gender and anatomy in group settings.
It has since been spun into a commercial venture called MyGender Dolls.
The Medical School pulls in approximately $15 million annually in state funding – money that flows through budgets Walz signs – earmarked to expand research capacity.
University officials insist no public money was used to commercialize the dolls.
They're saying that after six years of publicly funded research, with $15 million a year running through that same institution.
The Man Who Made Minnesota a Trans Laboratory
This didn't happen in a vacuum.
Walz has spent years converting Minnesota into the country's most aggressive proving ground for transgender ideology aimed at children.
In 2023, he signed the so-called "Trans Refuge" law – legislation that allows Minnesota courts to assert custody over out-of-state children whose parents refuse to consent to gender transition treatments.
That's not a characterization.

That's what the law does.
A parent in Iowa or North Dakota who refuses to put their child on puberty blockers can find a Minnesota court involved in their family's business.
That same year, the Eli Coleman Institute for Sexual and Gender Health – the same institute now sending genital dolls into preschool classrooms – gave Walz their inaugural Distinguished Sexual and Gender Health Champion Award.
He didn't just fund this project.
They gave him a trophy for it.
When the New York Post asked for comment, Walz's office didn't respond.
Parents Won't Get a Say
School counselors, teachers, and pediatricians will have access to the dolls – with no mention of parental consent anywhere on the MyGender Dolls website.
No parental notification.
No opt-out mechanism.
Minnesota already had a template for this approach: in 2024, a Rochester school district counselor blew the whistle on district guidelines specifying that parents would be informed their child identifies as transgender only "if they request it."

The school doesn't tell you.
The counselor won't tell you.
And now the doll – which your four-year-old is playing with – won't tell you either.
Walz Questioned the Fraud Numbers and Ignored the Doll Story
A House Oversight Committee report released this June found that the Walz Administration retaliated against state employees who raised fraud alarms, while senior officials focused on managing press coverage rather than stopping the theft.
The bill: roughly $300 million in federal child nutrition funds lost, and potentially $9 billion in Medicaid-related funds at risk.
Walz responded to that report by questioning the numbers.
He responded to the trans story by not picking up the phone.
The pattern is clear: the children of Minnesota are a funding mechanism.
When federal nutrition money flows in, Walz's Minnesota lets it walk out the door.
When state university dollars fund six-plus years of gender research, you get anatomically swappable toys landing in preschool classrooms this fall.
Either way, the parents are the last to know – and the last people anyone in St. Paul is thinking about.
