In a separate article , the National Association for the Education of Young Children said that teachers can ignore parents, effectively, IF they define a problems as an "ethical responsibility" (a situation with just one morally justified course of action), and not an "ethical dilemma" (a situation for which there is more than one possible resolution, which can be justified in moral terms).

The destructive possibilities with this framework are endless...for a teacher to quash individualism and promote collectivism as a virtue is an "ethical responsibility." Same with "gun control" and "environmentalism" and "reproductive rights."

Don't be fooled by the optics. At its heart, this is a fight for the rights of the parent vs the power of the government. I don't give a flying fig about the teachers' morality.

In loco parentis has become weaponized. If you needed another reason to homeschool....

Minor children have no right to privacy. We need a national law that any teacher who keeps secrets from parents is a groomer who is arrested and faces 10 years in jail.

“My job, which is a public service, is to protect kids,” said Olivia Garrison.”

This person should be forbidden from any position that puts her in contact with children.

Forever.

Do “educators” work for the people who pay taxes to fund schools or the people who spend tax money to run schools?

Just wait until an irate parent starts giving an “educator” some “wrenching new tensions”.

"...who is nonbinary..."

There are 11 kinds of people in this world:
Those who understand binary, those who don't, and those who think they do and are stupid beyond belief.

Unfortunately the latter is in charge of education.

Enough of the hype and the “feelings”...
Break out the racist math....
What percentage of total enrollment wants to “change”, and why are we going out of our way to accommodate the minority?
Hell, I was just talking to a high school student that told me they have kitty litter boxes in the bathroom for those that identify as cats?
Really!!??!!
It’s gone too far

It is amazing how easily the Homo Lobby has convince educators that they know more about children than Parents. Seems the homos and pedos are trying to become accepted behavior and normal that way maybe legislation will get passed so they can sexually assault children without consequences.

““My job, which is a public service, is to protect kids,” said Olivia Garrison, a history teacher in Bakersfield, Calif., who is nonbinary, who has helped students socially transition at school without their parents’ knowledge. “Sometimes, they need protection from their own parents.””

Sorry lady or whatever you are, your job is to teach kids history. Nothing more, nothing less. You have a curriculum you must follow and to deviate from it means you are not doing your job. In which case, you are not protecting your students, you are harming them. Hence, you should be fired from your job immediately.

I understand how a person could be gay or a lesbian, but this trans sh*t is definitely mental illness...

None of this should be addressed by educators at all...Never....That is not their job...

By treating this “transition of children” subject as if it is serious and/or legitimate instead of insane and an affront to good and normal the parents the NY Times is perpetuating and promoting the perversion that “transition” is.

Courts have ruled that under the Fourteenth Amendment, parents get to make medical and mental health decisions
.......................

Not in Pennsylvania. There a 14 year old makes decisions for his mental health.
