Remember when I wrote that article about how a California school district enlisted lawyers to train teachers to hide students’ gender identity from their parents? Michigan appears to be following suit. What are the other districts doing it?
The Daily Caller reported that the Michigan Department of Education (MDOE) has instituted trainings and resources to help educators and school staff assist children who believe they are transgender to transition to the opposite sex – without their parent’s knowledge or consent.
The following is taken from the report
The MDOE’s LGBTQ Students Project includes trainings and resources for LGBTQ students as well as educators on addressing students’ gender identity and sexual orientation in school, according to department training videos. The videos feature MDOE officials who advise the educators to hide students’ name or pronoun changes from parents.
Kim Phillips-Knope, a project lead of the MDOE’s LGBTQ Students Project, said in one of the training videos that “students have privacy rights” and that “schools don’t have a legal obligation to tell parents that a student goes by a different name or pronouns than their legal name.”
According to the official, teachers were to give students the opportunity to choose whether or not they wanted their parents to hear about their transitions. This means that educators won’t “unintentionally out a student to their family.”
This policy is aligned with those of various schools in Illinois, California, Wisconsin and other states.
In another video, a trainer says gender fluidity should be “normalized by age 5,” according to the Daily Caller. “Educators are also taught ways they can change or hide a student’s name in their roster without changing any data that may be accessible to parents.”
Teachers can encourage children to switch to the opposing gender, but this initiative is not limited to that. The Daily Caller added:
In 2017, the MDOE issued their guidance on creating a “safe and supportive” environment for LGBTQ students which included providing “professional development opportunities on issues affecting LGBTQ students to district staff and board members.” The MDOE suggested that the training should extend past educators to “coaches, bus drivers, cafeteria workers, custodians and administrative support staff.”
The Glendale School District in California offered teachers similar advice. The lawyers in the training recommended that they conceal documents like their Gender Support Plan, a blueprint for helping a student socially transition, and giving students two ID cards, one with the child’s given name and one with their chosen name.
The infusion of leftist views about gender identity, sexuality and race has faced a backlash across the country. Stories like this show that progressives will not be stopped in their quest to educate and nurture small children. While the battle for this issue will continue to be intense, those opposed are mobilize and motivated. There will hopefully be other ways that children can avoid this type of indoctrination.
