Many school districts have decided to take over the traditional role of parents, and this, I believe, is a very important factor in the alienation of the young.
Under the current policy, "Teachers must refer to students by their preferred pronouns or gender-specific names during school hours but revert to biological pronouns and legal names when speaking with parents." And once a teacher learns of a child's social transitioning, he or she has an obligation to ensure that parents do not discover this.
In Idaho, for example, Parents Defending Education submitted 14 public records requests to school districts requesting documentation and correspondence regarding the creation of these gender policies.
School counselors in Mississippi's Tupelo Public School District shared guidance with each other that encourage staff to keep parents in the dark regarding the gender identity of their children.
The National Education Association and likeminded groups have released a guide that, among many things, suggests "Schools effectively keep two sets of records for students who express interest in a transgender identity-one set that is used within the school setting, and a separate set provided to parents or other entities outside the school district."
For parents who send their children to public schools, Congress passed H.R. 5 in late March.
Conservative legal scholar Joanna Martin, J.D., recently published an article titled "A Massive Transfer of Power Over Children from Parents to Governments," in which she writes that SB 49, the bill passed by the North Carolina Senate, "Transfers power over children from parents to governments. Parents' rights consist of the privilege of being notified of decisions made respecting their children by governments, and they are granted specific rights to challenge some of the findings."
