First Grader Sent to Office, Investigated, for ‘Pronoun Mishap’
The Stream ^ | August 27, 2017 | TODD STARNES

A first grader at a California charter school was sent to the principal’s office this week after she accidentally “mis-gendered” a transgender classmate in what’s being called a “pronoun mishap.”

This Isn’t the First Time We’ve Heard of Rocklin

The incident occurred at Rocklin Academy, a school rocked by controversy after a kindergarten teacher led an in-class discussion on transgenderism that included a “gender reveal” for a little boy who was transitioning to a little girl.

For kindergartners.

Parents were furious because they were not informed in advance and were not given the chance to opt-out their five-year-olds from the classroom transgender activity. However, school leaders informed moms and dads that they were not allowed to opt-out — and the state did not require them to notify parents.

This Time, It was an Innocent First Grader

The latest incident occurred during the first week of school, when a first grader came across a classmate on the playground. She called the student by his given name — apparently unaware that the boy now identified as a girl.

“This innocent little first grader sees a classmate, calls him by the name she knew him last year and the boy reports it to a teacher,” Capitol Resource Institute’s Karen England told me. “The little girl gets in trouble on the playground and then gets called out of class to the principal’s office.”

Capitol Resource Institute is a California-based public policy group that specializes in strengthening families. And they are working with a number of parents at Rocklin Academy upset about the LGBT agenda being forced on their children.

I reached out to Rocklin Academy numerous times, but they did not return my calls.

Punished for Being Kind

England said the first grader was investigated by the principal to determine whether or not she had bullied the transgender child by calling him by his original name. After about an hour it was determined the little girl made an honest mistake and she was not punished or reprimanded.

But she was terribly traumatized by the incident, England said.

“The daughter came home from school upset and crying — saying, ‘Mommy, I got in trouble at school today,’” England told me.

The little girl’s mother, who asked not to be identified, immediately contacted the school to find out what had happened.

“She was told that whenever there is a pronoun mishap with this biological boy who now claims to be a girl — the school must investigate,” England said.

Capitol Resource Institute provided me with a letter the mother wrote — expressing her extreme concern over how the situation was handled.

“I stressed over and over with the principal that I am all for protecting the rights of (the transgender child), but my children have rights as well,” the parent wrote. “It makes me sad that my daughter felt like she was punished for trying to be kind to the kid.”

This Bullying Has Got to Go

England said Alliance Defending Freedom, a nationally-known religious liberty law firm, is currently investigating the playground incident as well as the classroom lesson on gender identity.

“Our focus is on ensuring that every student’s privacy is protected and that parental rights, including the right to be notified before children are exposed to gender identity teaching, are respected by the school officials,” an ADF spokesman told me.

What’s happening at Rocklin Academy is an example of how schools have become indoctrination grounds for the LGBT agenda.

And the only way to stop the indoctrination is for moms and dads to take a stand. It may be unpleasant and it may be uncomfortable, but we’ve got to stand up to these activist bullies.

I am sure a kid, who can barely tie his shoes,has the ability / maturity to make such a life altering decision.

True enough, but the Republicans share quite a bit of the blame.

Our country has gone over the deep end.

Is it time yet?

Yeah, kind of like the "hey, what is this basket we are in and just where is this thing going" thing.

IMO this is the next step after the gay marriage crap. Textbook example of slippery slope. Next up: Pedophilia: It’s ok; it’s just love, and all you haters need re-education camps or jail.

These Marxists told us that homosexuality was only about the actions of consenting adults in private. Yet here it is being indoctrinated in the heads of small children.

Bible is banned from schools and replaced by The Joy Of Sex.

Students don’t just learn biology and reproduction, y’see that doesn’t interest those who want to be different and engage in same sex (not-complimentary part sex) encounters, don’t want to ever have children (anti-breeder), or like some pain and suffering (BDSM) in their “lovelife”. Experiment. “Q”uestion. Sex positive advocates seek to see everyone sexually active and indoctrinated at every age. Free love isn’t free. Saying “no” is selfish.

No school playing gender name games is a real school.
No faculty playing these games is capable of academic excellence.
Such places are centers of stupidity, and deserve only scorn.
Period.

Maybe it’s time to neuter some school administrators.

Remove your children from this school. They get paid taxpayer money per student.

And shame on the people who are making normal seem abnormal and vice versa.

It’s no wonder why we have snowflakes and terrorist groups like ANTIFA.
Thank God many homeschool. Apparently not enough.

Child abuse...

sue the school district for millions...

If it goes to a leftist judge, they’ll award the school millions for libel and bankrupt the parents.

Lady, you are part of the problem.

In the land of make believe that you are forcing your child into SHE HAS NO RIGHTS.

Can you imagine when we were young if someone told you that we’d be governed by people who don’t the difference between a boy and a girl?

Or believe that someone can be one or the other, depending on how they feel at the moment.

These people should be laughed out of society. Instead, thanks to the fascist concept known as political correctness, they’re accommodated.

Of the dozens of reasons that we homeschooled our kids, this wasn't even on the map when we decided not to trust the public school system.

The satanic destruction of the husband, wife and kids concept of a family continues.

So its now a given fact that gender is a choice? Who makes these rules and why have we no say?
