I was reliably informed that stories of teachers subverting parents will to “transition” or otherwise influence (but don’t you dare say “groom”) children were “paranoisa”, misinformation and right wing hate speech:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nA family in New York has filed a lawsuit against the Brookhaven-Comsewogue School District, Terryville Road Elementary School, and 5th-grade teacher Debra Rosenquist because they allege that Rosenquist attempted to secretly transition the gender of their 10-year-old daughter without notifying the parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The student – who is identified as A.V. in the complaint – became confused as to her gender during the 2021-2022 school year because Rosenquist insisted on using a male name and male pronouns to refer to the student.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Weird. I’m reliably – and very angriliy – informed this can not be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nIn October 2021, the teacher began to call A.V. by the name \u201cLeo\u201d and use he\/him pronouns for the child. No one in the district informed the parents (referred to as L.N. and E.V. in the complaint) of these changes.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Several months later, in January 2022, the school\u2019s principal informed the parents that the child had met with the school psychologist (without the parents\u2019 knowledge) and had drawn a girl with the words \u201cI wanna kill myself\u201d and \u201cI feel sad a lot.\u201d The psychologist determined this was because A.V. was confused about her gender identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This was the first time A.V.\u2019s parents had heard anything about the confusion regarding A.V.\u2019s gender identity or new name and pronouns forced on the child by the teacher.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
