A pro-LGBT legal group based in St. Paul has released a “public education toolkit” to pressure schools into promoting transgender ideology.
In a Sept. 12 news release, Gender Justice announced its “Cool 4 School” initiative to “inform students, their families, and their schools about legal protections for transgender, non-binary, two-spirit and other gender non-conforming students returning to Minnesota classrooms.”
“Many students will have changed over the summer. For some, it’s the first time they’ll return to school with a new name, pronouns, and gender identity,” the news release says. “What has NOT changed is schools’ legal obligations to respect and support them — and protections for transgender students are stronger than ever.”
As part of the initiative, Gender Justice is encouraging students and families to spread the word on social media and sign a pledge supporting “trans youth.”
The pledge claims that nationwide efforts to remove sexually graphic LGBT books from school libraries and ban biological males from competing in girls’ sports are “hateful attacks,” even going so far as to say such efforts promote “violence and discrimination against trans kids.”
“Every child should know they are loved, safe, and supported as their authentic selves. Now more than ever, we must speak out and show up for the rights and lives of trans youth,” the text reads.
The pledge also criticizes efforts to require teachers and administrators to inform parents if their child comes out as transgender.
The “Cool 4 School” toolkit page further claims that Minnesota state law compels schools to allow “transgender” children to compete in sports and use locker rooms and restrooms that “align with their gender identity.”
A two-page “Know Your Rights” document released as part of the toolkit cites court cases, Minnesota Statutes, the Minnesota Human Rights Act, and more in support of their claims.
The document also encourages, per Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) guidance, school faculty and staff to “respect students’ names and pronouns.”
“When students are referred to by the wrong pronoun by peers or school staff, students may feel intimidated, threatened, harassed or bullied,” the quoted MDE guidance reads. “School staff can ensure a more respectful environment for all students when efforts are made to correct the misuse of pronouns, as well as names, in student records.”
Gender Justice Executive Director Megan Peterson threatened legal action if schools fail to abide by these expectations.
“With increased attacks and disinformation on transgender students and athletes on the rise in our country, it’s important to keep communities informed about their rights and the resources available to them,” she said. “We have gone to court and won on behalf of transgender students and their families, and we will keep fighting to make sure schools and administrators follow the law.”
two-spirit, wtf ?

How about students make a concerted effort to use ‘queer’ or ‘pos’. Being tripped a few times on the stairs might also be useful
Yeah, that was a new one for me, too.
Must be some kind of drinking game. Woo-hoo!
That time is coming.
The Public Schools have been turned into Bootie Camps for pervert recruits.
“Two Spirits” means “I think I’m a gay Indian”.
Its child abuse
Ping.
Run a compliance test and eval over at that Somali muslum high school.
Which one?
🤣
Indeed. Just do a little digging on:

They are a Minnesota based group, whose staff are quite radical on all hard-left issues, but nonetheless receive money from giant law-firms like Skadden Arps, or groups associated with Stanford University - or a group called "New Sector Alliance."
New Sector is a much more "presentable" leftist social-engineering NGO, its management (and money) coming from both Stanford University and some big names in Corporate America (Google, McKinsey) AND Your Federal Government!
The intersection of leftist social-engineering, crony-corporate America, and Fed.gov is worth noting, because it is repeated 10,000 times in America today.
Appreciate the legwork...
#LGBdroptheT (is apparently trending)
...some LGB folks aren’t happy with the T’s. The T’s hitched a ride on their platform. The LGB’s say the don’t like the grooming of kids and destruction of female sports.
WHAT I BELIEVE IS REALLY HAPPENING....if little Joey says he is attracted to boys the reaction is now “oh, you must be TRANS, you’re ‘really’ a girl”....and the money train begins - which it doesn’t if you just decide he may be gay.
So gay men will see a reduction in the partner pool. Gay men have been called ‘bigots’ if they don’t want to date a ‘trans-male’ as ‘they like dick’. Same for the lesbians, they don’t want a trans-female.
What an absurd mess.
Exactly. It’s for indians who wish they were squaws. Inclusivity is all!
