Pretty sure this has been debunked.


But I'll say going the private school route worked well for us.

He is a lawyer. He can’t possibly be lying or embellishing.

Yes, we must be vigilant.

Imagine if states started passing laws that police pronouns and identity expression in schools, until parents no longer had the right to tell their children it’s ok to be the person you are, you don’t have to hide it or be ashamed.

Truly a nightmare scenario for those who worry about government overreach.

Default pronouns and parental notification are far less of an over reach than default judgements against non affirming parents and the state taking custody of kids.

For the record, teachers can't take your kids away from you.

And since we've all heard about 1 or 2 cases of parents losing custody when there is absolutely, definitely, 100% nothing else going on but misgendering, I remain unworried about a massive state over reach driven by underpaid public servants who aren't even given the funding for pencils.

You don't interpret them very well either.

The legislation would amend existing state law to say that a court’s consideration of “the health, safety, and welfare” of the child should include “among other comprehensive factors, a parent’s affirmation of the child’s gender identity or gender expression.”

So then I was interpreting it correctly that a refusal to affirm could count as abusive, meaning a teacher who encourages transition could induce a loss of custody if a parent doesn’t agree with the teacher’s decision

Meanwhile, the ideas that animate the CMF—particularly its endorsement of data-literacy classes as a substitute for math and its suggestion that large swaths of the traditional high-school math curriculum are obsolete—are popping up in other states. In Ohio, for example, a menu of alternative math “pathways” in high school has been touted as providing entry into a variety of appealing and lucrative careers. But the pathways labeled for data science and computer science remove many Algebra II skills; the fine print reveals that the pathways are inadequate for students who might want college degrees in those fields. School officials in Middletown, Connecticut, have proposed to revamp the traditional calculus track by scaling back on preparations for eighth-grade Algebra I and introducing mash-up algebra-and-geometry courses that would magically pack three years of instruction into two.
