If you want one more reason to PULL YOUR CHILDREN FROM PUBLIC SCHOOLS....here is one more. Teachers are being asked by their districts to help conceal gender changes of their students FROM THE PARENTS.
So here is how this works; Your 12 yr old daughter named Christine shows up at middle school and tells her teacher that she feels more like a boy than a girl. She asks to participate with the boys in gym and asks to be called by her new pronouns, "them/they" but wants to be called David. You've had this student for the last few years and yet this totally takes you by surprise. As a teacher you actually know the parents because they have come in for conferences over the last few years. Can you call the parents to discuss "their" behavior?? NOOOO!! According to district rules you can only discuss with the parents if the child has given you WRITTEN AUTHORIZATION.
So you are now forced to call Christine by the name of David and then remember THEIR new pronouns all week long. But when the parents come in to discuss their daughter Christine's school progress, you need to remember her DEAD NAME and DEAD GENDER and only refer to her as Christine, the nice girl in your phy-ed class.
Think I'm making this up??
The Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District(in Minnesota) adopted a new transgender student policy that experts say will permit students to change their gender identity at school and allow the district to conceal that information from parents.
According to the new policy, adopted on Nov. 17, “all students have a right to privacy, including the right to keep private one’s transgender or gender expansive status at school.”
The policy explicitly states that “school district personnel shall not disclose information that may reveal a student’s transgender or gender-expansive status to others, including parents and other school personnel, unless legally required to do so or unless the student has authorized such disclosure.”
In short, the new guidelines allow students to “socially transition’ and hide it from parents, according to legal experts. In fact, one teacher in the district said it is already happening. The teacher asked to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation.
The district, however, insisted in a statement to Alpha News that “nothing in the adopted guidelines takes away from parents’ rights to information about their children.”
“In fact, the guidelines encourage staff to work with students and their parents on these types of issues. Parent rights are paramount. However, the guidelines are clear that staff members should not ‘out’ students to parents, revealing their transgender or gender-expansive status, unless legally required to do so or if it’s authorized by the student,” a spokesperson said.
One parents rights activist called these comments “incredibly misleading.”
“It is incredibly misleading for the district to assert that nothing in these newly adopted guidelines takes away from parents’ rights to information about their children when that is exactly what this policy calls for,” said Cristine Trooien, executive director of the Minnesota Parents Alliance.
“It explicitly instructs staff not to disclose any information that may reveal a student’s transgender or gender-expansive status to parents. Parents have rightfully become mistrustful of district leaders who tell them that parental rights are paramount after they have just quickly and quietly adopted a policy that excludes them from conversations about their own children,” she added.
‘Everything is hush-hush’
Although the guidelines are published on the district’s website, district officials said they are not proactively discussing the information with families at this time, according to the teacher who spoke with Alpha News.
However, they will discuss the new practices with families on a case-by-case basis or if parents ask, according to the teacher.
“How would parents know to ask? Everything is hush-hush. Parents need to know,” the teacher said.
The school board briefly mentioned the policy during its two most recent meetings but did not discuss the details.
“All district policies and regulations are presented and approved at regular board meetings, which are posted in accordance with state law, open to the public and shared via livestream on the district’s Youtube channel,” the district spokesperson said.
Trooien believes the policy should have been provided to every parent in the district, “ideally before it was passed, but certainly now.”
“Parents need to know that their students will no longer be afforded the privacy or protection based on biological sex nor will parents be informed about their children ‘socially transitioning’ to an identity other than their sex and assigned name at birth,” she said. “This policy also demands that district employees comply with this policy and affirm student-declared identity or face adverse employment action. It is reprehensible that the district has placed teachers in the impossible position of keeping secrets from parents or losing their job.”

Do you think we aren't in a battle for the hearts and souls of our children?? Of course this goes right to the very start of God's creation and attacks it head on. "God created them male and female." And Satan starts to whisper to all the godless people, many of which are educators, "Did god really say that? Is there really a god anyway? Certainly it can't be that black and white? There has to be variations or maybe people born into the wrong bodies?"
And now, rather than treating an 8 year old girl for some mental health issues, the teachers she looks up to might be in favor of removing her breasts and taking hormone blockers and testosterone so she can become a boy, or non-binary, or queer or maybe even a kitten!
