Seattle Schools official says parents shouldn’t be notified of pronoun change, ‘regardless of age': emails

Washington school official warned of 'staff members who identify as Christian' resistant to transgender directives

...

A top official with Washington state's biggest school district told a fourth-grade elementary school teacher that a student’s pronoun change should not be shared with the parents, "regardless of age," unless the student consents..

In March of last year, a Seattle Education Association (SEA) board member and fourth-grade teacher reached out to Seattle Public Schools (SPS) to request a training at an SPS school on LGBTQ best practices, according to emails Fox News Digital obtained in a public records request.

"It came to my attention here that staff admin have disagreed about how best to support nonbinary students, and I asked admin whether we could have training on best practices," John Shaw wrote to Lisa Love, the manager of the Health Education Department at SPS, on March 1, 2022.

...

Shaw added that the principal had given him a couple of "warnings" about how some Christian families and staff members might object.

"Some families are uncomfortable with any discussion of sexuality regarding elementary students," he recalled the principal saying. "We have a number of staff members who identify as Christian, who have indicated, implied, or said outright (I'm not exactly sure) that they would not be comfortable dealing with these issues directly. (I don't suspect that anybody on staff would intentionally or overtly reject a student.)"

Love thanked Shaw for the information and added, "Spoiler alert; flags can be flown, I have posters and lanyards, and will bring or send you some, parents should not be notified without student permission, regardless of age, and any conversation about student identities is just that — identities.

...

Love said the training should be mandatory before climbing on her so-called "soapbox."

I tend to agree with that policy as any parent STUPID ENOUGH to send their kids to Seattle Schools FULLY DESERVES the product that will come out.

CANNOT BEGIN to express how glad I am that I went to a one room school.

They elect these folks. Send their children to schools well aware this happens, then moan about it. Come back when you change who you vote for. You made your bed.

This is not okay. Unless they have a trained psychiatrist on staff that specializes in sexual disorders, plus a team of Endocrinologists and labs capable of doing advanced genetic testing, they are in no position to regard any child as trans or treat them as such.

These idiot schools are even passing out generic, off-the-shelf chestbinders to children. Chestbinders must be custom made to the patient’s exact dimensions, otherwise they can damage the lungs, the skin, and the ribcage.

I’m sick of these idiot woke administrators playing doctor without a license. I’m sick of doctors pushing an agenda and playing Frankenstein instead of practicing medicine.

I encourage every parent to fight back.

You’ll find a way for your child if you have to eat beans and home school.

It’s time to end compulsory education. At this point it is the only way to keep most children from harm by indoctrination. If you think private school will save you and your think again. Their teachers went to the same education colleges as public school teachers.

The late Chinese leader Mao Tse-tung, although himself a member of a strong Hunanese family clan, realized that political reform was was not possible unless people placed the interests of the state above those of the family, which up to that point had been by far the most powerful institution in China.

“Pronoun change”
The kid doesn’t own pronouns and can’t change the English language.

Guess species change falls under the same dome of silence. The parents might question why on their child’s school supply list there’s a request for kitty litter and a box.

The problem is and has been for at least 30 years, there’s more licensed pets in Seattle than school age children. The leftards that inhabit Pugetopolis screw up everything.

This same “district” is hemorrhaging students and it’s causing that district and the State Superintendent of Public Instruction Office, head of the entire state’s unionized propagandist’s, to look for ways to recapture the Federal funds lost when a kid gets out of the “system” and finds proper education.

The more they lose students the better I like it.
