Transgender lessons for 5 year olds in California private school

[terfsRus]

About 40 families pulled their kids from school over this. There has got to be a powerful lobby driving this nonsense.

I worry about this with my dd’s school (private abroad) based on some of the things they have shared on twitter. I have no problem with my children being introduced to the concept of gender dysphoria or transgenderism if they can do it without sexist statements about objects/emotions/behaviours being specifically “for girls” or “for boys” or suggesting that children have an innate gender that isn’t caused by social conditioning.

Charter schools aren't private, they're publicly funded schools that tend to specialise in stem or the arts. The school are obviously trying their best to not fall foul of any discrimination laws... it's the parents that need to sort their shit out. The school were trying to explain what was happening and read a book, that isn't really the same as giving lessons.

I don't understand why it's the parents who need to sort their shit out? I'd be pretty annoyed if a school did that to my 5 year old without telling me. Discrimination law is not the same as schooling toddlers in transgenderism.

Children do not need to be introduced to gender dysphoria or any aspect of transgenderism. All they need to learn is that if a boy wants to wear a pink frock and play with a dolly, that's fine. And if a girl wants to wear camo trousers and play football, that's fine. And that is all they need to learn about gender at 4-5yo.

All the school needed to do to avoid accusations of discrimination was to accept the confused child as he chose to present himself, not to impose a dubious and contentious ideology upon the pupils.

I applaud those parents for voting with their feet.

Thank you JellySlice you summed up my thoughts exactly!
