Hiding Students' Gender Identities From Their Parents Is Immoral | Opinion
reports of schools adopting policies that quietly facilitate the social transitions of self-identified transgender students without the consent or knowledge of parents.
Despite the fact that these social transitions almost invariably lead to later medical interventions, these schools insist on accommodating students by using their requested pronouns, new names, preferred bathrooms, and more.
In most cases, school leadership instructs staff to actively lie to parents if the school deems the parents to be "unsupportive" of their child's gender identity.These policies are often boosted by child welfare proposals like California's AB 957.
If that bill is signed, as Governor Gavin Newsom has promised, California judges will be required to consider whether a parent "affirms" a child's "gender identity" during custody battles.
