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

How does that keep parents from being told anything about their minor child?
Good point actually.

Well, how would you feel about the school being forced to report if a child is gay?
It does raise the specter of it being pretty stupid. The school shouldn't have the knowledge nor be involved AT ALL. Anything else forces them into the culture wars.

Because under the new title IX rules, the school is forcing teachers to report based on gender identity. The school policy is explicitly carving out a special rule targeting trans and nonbinary gender identities.

It’s pretty clear cut.

That the school is properly keeping the parents informed about their child.
 
Good point actually.

Yep. The schools should only worry about education. Not indoctrination.

Well, the school is trying to do, is if a teacher or counselor is told something in confidence or even sees something by accident, they are forced to report that to the school who then has to report that to the parents.

I would disagree with that perceptive. How is it different than any other activity parents may want to know? The LBGTQ-WTF community wants to be treated equal. Right? Why the problem with equally being informed?

You are changing the subject.

This is about a child wanting to be addressed with a different pronoun. That automatically becomes public knowledge within the school. Talking to a counselor in confidence is not the same, and foolish to think so.
 
That the school is properly keeping the parents informed about their child.
Besides that it’s obviously treating gay people differently and discriminating based on sexual identity (unless the school is also required to report if they suspect if the student might be straight)…are you really telling me you don’t see the risks and abuse you are exposing a child to who is gay and has decided they really don’t want their parents to know?
 
Let the child come out to their parents in their own time. For all we know it could be dangerous for them to do so.
Another liberal tenet.

Guilty until proven innocent.

Now you are accusing the parents of being abusive, until they are proven not to be. There are legal avenues for this.

As far as this rule is concerned it isn’t different actually.

I'm not accusing anyone of anything. If a child isn't comfortable coming out to their parents, then there is absolutely no good reason to force them to do so.
 
Political indoctrination has always been an essential element of public education. That's why they have students say the pledge of allegiance every morning.
The pledge of allegiance is no more in all public schools to my knowledge. It is also apolitical. Not political.

I think you need some of the remedial English and/or civics in college.

No I understand how it theoretically would happen. Back in my day it wouldn't matter. You still had to dig 5 tons of coal a day.
"Kids should be earning!" :ROFLMAO:

That the school is properly keeping the parents informed about their child.
Inversely, if the parents don't know about their kids then they are truly piss poor parents, yes?

How is that different then going by a nickname? Not a criticism, a question.

We had to pledge to the Texas flag...

How is a pledge of allegiance to a national government anything other than political?

You realize a civics class is also a form of political indoctrination, yes?

Anything a child does against their parent(s) will results in a disgruntles parent(s).

To assume that harm will result....

typical liberal...

Then why would they come out in any public setting that the parent is associated with?

Are you claiming now that children need to be protected from their own stupidity?
 
We have been here before. Obama created much the same "rule". Then Trump reversed that, then Biden reversed the reversal. The next R president will probably reverse it back again.

Referring to a Biden interpretation rather than the text of Title IX itself, does not prove your claim of explicit prohibition.
To my knowledge, all of the Clinton and Obama era decisions regarding Title IX were in the form of guidance letters (documents informing schools about how the government interprets the statute, which technically have no legal force though courts will often cite them as persuasive authority), which the Trump administration was easily able to revoke with its own letters. What the Biden Administration has done is add the Obama-era guidance to the Code of Federal Regulations, which will make it much more administratively difficult to remove (since a future Republican administration would have to go through the "rulemaking process" to change it).

Can you say "states rights?"

Where else is a kid going to come out? Either they tell their family, they tell their friends, or they tell a teacher. What other options are there? Are you one of those types that thinks kids have no right to keep anything private from their parents?
