Gender ideology not supported
...
A recent poll from Parents Defending Education (PDE) found that 75% of parents “oppose teachers, counselors, school nurses, classroom aides, coaches or administration withholding information about a child’s gender identity from parents.” This includes 88% of Republican parents, 72% of independent parents, and 58% of Democratic parents.
The most troubling and potentially dangerous facet of gender ideology in schools is the facilitation of a child’s gender transition behind the backs of parents. PDE has found that nearly 21,000 schools with more than 12 million students have policies that do exactly this — keep the preferred gender identity of students at school hidden from their parents if that is what the minor child wants. Most of these schools have also begun to impose gender ideology in the curricula — often because state standards require it — to normalize these pseudoscientific and even cultish beliefs in the next generation.
While the incoming leaders of the Department of Education will have broad approval to eliminate gender ideology from America’s schools, groups that support parental rights and common sense such as Parents Defending Education and Moms for Liberty can attest that any actions intended to correct course will face unrelenting resistance from organizations with big pockets.
One such group is Gender Spectrum, which is largely responsible for the template of gender policies now used in a large swath of the nation’s schools. The organization offers training for teachers that includes lessons claiming “sex isn’t binary” and that children as young as four can identify as transgender. The group also offers lessons for students that include quizzes about how gender is supposedly on a spectrum.

My kids never had any questions about their gender. Nor did I. I recall there may have been one or two students who were a bit strange when I was young but none of them appeared to question which toilet they should use.
