Parents are not entitled to know their kid’s identities…
This came from an Eau Claire Area School District training slide. The slide argued that parents must earn this information. If a child wants to be the opposite gender, the school will address the student by the preferred pronouns and name while using the actual name and gender when talking to the parents.
From Wisconsin Spotlight:
The district’s training session is also legally suspect.
A district court in 2020 issued a partial injunction against Madison Metropolitan School District’s policy allowing children of any age to transition to a different gender identity at school — without parental consent. The full case is now before the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
The Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty (WILL) and the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) filed the lawsuit on behalf of a group of parents challenging the gender identity policy “that violates the rights of parents to make important healthcare decisions on their children’s behalf.”
The policy includes the following provisions:
* Children of any age can transition to a different gender identity at school, by changing their name and pronouns, without parental notice or consent.
* District employees are prohibited from notifying parents, without the child’s consent, that their child has or wants to change gender identity at school, or that their child may be dealing with gender dysphoria.
* District employees are even instructed to deceive parents by using the child’s legal name and pronouns with family, while using the different name and pronouns adopted by the child in the school setting.
It’s not clear whether the Eau Claire Area School District has a similar policy beyond its teacher personal development training.
The school board candidates are demanding school district administrators issue an apology to teachers for “placing them at odds with families and also to parents and guardians for breaking the trust and partnership that is critical for thriving students and a stellar school district.”
An apology doesn’t appear to be forthcoming.
ECASD Superintendent Michael Johnson issued a statement to Empower Wisconsin asserting the district is upholding its responsibility to maintain an educational environment that is “equitable, safe and inclusive for all students.”

FIRST
WTF, Why are teachers being involved with a student about the above article. I grew up in the 1950’s and this shit was unheard of, WTF
Because they’re control freaks and/or perverts that would’ve been locked-up in the nuthouse back then as Leftists feel that’s authentic, “social justice” or whatever today.
Back in our day, any adult approving of this program at a grade school would have been sent to a mental institution.
…and gotten electrocshock therapy:
Oh FFS, most kids can’t make up their minds what they want for lunch. How can they decide which “gender” they are? Easy peasy, Billy/Suzy, look down between your legs…you are either an inny or an outie. Seems as if the public indoctrination centers, oh…’scuse me…public school system, is pushing this crap. And again, why are parents allowing the school system to tell them how to raise their child. Fire the whole lot that is pushing this crap. The book 1984 was supposed to be a warning novel, not a “How To” book.
Da, comrade, anyone confused about such basic things can molded into New Socialist Man for “greater good” easier!
This is now “racist,” as you know:
All your children belong to us, you evil “racist” non-progressives! (Or words to that effect from Leftists.)
Even if you do not have children in the public education system, for the kids’ sake be involved in School Board elections, PTAs, and volunteer programs in the school.
In some school districts it is looking more and more like child abuse to send a child to school.
So true, GB. I hear the horror stories of friends that have school-age children and now I understand why so many (that can afford it) are home schooling or using private schools. 1984? More like Brave New World, without the SOMA.
The motto of the left is “Celebrate and promote perversity.”
