Feds investigate another Texas school district for its gender identity mandate (Title IX issue)

Education is developing a working knowledge of a subject. It's meant to teach, to inform, to provide context and facts. It is not meant to brainwash.

Indoctrination is what military branches do to new recruits, it's what religious organizations do to their members and it's what cults do their victims.

Schools provide basic knowledge of subjects such as mathematics, social studies, English, science, as well as providing basic training in social skills.
So you agree we should remove all the leftist social engineering in place at most schools then., Right?

There isn't any there.

That is another load of bunk spewed forth by the right-wing. Schools are not designed to turn children into conservatives. The right needs to accept this and move on.
 
It would never survive judicial scrutiny. Notifying parents that their child is manifesting symptoms of a mental disorder as defined by the DSM is not only a right but an obligation of the school.
Cool for fun child physical abuse opportunities.

...With the publication of DSM–5 in 2013, “gender identity disorder” was eliminated and replaced with “gender dysphoria.” This change further focused the diagnosis on the gender identity-related distress that some transgender people experience (and for which they may seek psychiatric, medical, and surgical treatments) rather than on transgender individuals or identities themselves....
 
Only a small minority of the right.
Still too many of them.
Udder steershit.
Nope.
Where do you get your delusional beliefs about the right?
I get it from having to deal with them on a regular basis.
Again. Only a very small minority want that in the schools. You appear to be thoroughly indoctrinated and lied to about what the right stands for.

Why are you bringing religion up? I do not think anyone here has disagreed with that.

Why ever made you believe that?

Narcs? The schools are required by law to "narc" on kids about some activities.
Not about matters pertaining to the development of their sexual identities. That comes with time and is always a personal choice.
Where do you get your silly notions from?

I get it from having to help manage the fallout from this kind of stupidity. Children are entitled to their own belief system so long as it isn't hurting them or anybody else, and they are entitled to believe what they want.

I am sorry that you are blind to it.

Gender dysphoria is a mental disorder which per the DSM-5 consists of:

“A marked incongruence between one’s experienced/expressed gender and natal gender of at least 6 months in duration, as manifested by at least two of the following:A.
A marked incongruence between one’s experienced/expressed gender and primary and/or secondary sex characteristics (or in young adolescents, the anticipated secondary sex characteristics)

B.
A strong desire to be rid of one’s primary and/or secondary sex characteristics because of a marked incongruence with one’s experienced/expressed gender (or in young adolescents, a desire to prevent the development of the anticipated secondary sex characteristics)

C.
A strong desire for the primary and/or secondary sex characteristics of the other gender

D.
A strong desire to be of the other gender (or some alternative gender different from one’s designated gender)

E.
A strong desire to be treated as the other gender (or some alternative gender different from one’s designated gender)

F.
A strong conviction that one has the typical feelings and reactions of the other gender (or some alternative gender different from one’s designated gender)”


 
Funny how Righties think teachers are SO influential yet can't get students motivated to get all A's.
