Students in a Southern California school district could be forced to choose between rooming with a transgender-identifying student or missing out on an overnight school field trip.
If parents complain about their child rooming with a transgender-identifying student of the opposite biological sex, staff in the Newport-Mesa Unified School District listen to the parents’ concerns, then say that the child’s rooming assignment isn’t the parents’ choice, according to emails from 2021 and 2022 obtained by the Center for American Liberty and shared with The Daily Signal.
The only option for students who are uncomfortable staying in a room with transgender students is to opt out of the trip, Sarah Coley, the school district’s administrative director, said in an email to school district employees regarding a sixth-grade science trip.
“You would say to the students/parents, ‘If you have questions about the assignment, please feel free to discuss with me,’” Coley wrote in the email. “Then, if a parent says ‘hey, I don’t want my student with [who],’ you could provide an ear to listen and consider whether the student is a good fit, but the eventual response would be, ‘If you / your student is not comfortable with the rooming assignments and process of staying with other students in a room, then they can elect not to participate in this optional trip.’”

I guess my kids will be busy during the time of the field trip.
Lawsuit. Waiting. To. Happen.
This is an issue where you get a lawyer to write a pre action form, where the school must sign off recognizing the undue risk they are subjecting children to. Then, they can’t say that they didn’t know, because they signed off on it.
“The child’s rooming assignment is not the parents choice”
Translation: We - the public school - have all parental rights and the parents have none.

Kamala is from California. How many interviewers will ask her on air how she feels about this policy?
Agree and give California back to the Indian’s it can only be improved.
I am 67. I have never heard of overnight field trips for 6th graders. I suspect it is just an excuse to promote transgenderism acceptance.
“California School District Forces Students to Room With Trans Classmates to Go on Overnight Trips”
One has to wonder if condoms are also being provided?
Good advice.
“I am 67. I have never heard of overnight field trips for 6th graders. I suspect it is just an excuse to promote transgenderism acceptance.”
Good point. Even when my children were in the 6th grade in the 80s, there was never overnight trips for students that age. The first overnight school trip the youngest son went on was when he was in the 8th grade. He and his older brother both went on the Technology Team’s competition trip. I insisted they be in the same hotel room so the older could keep an eye out for his younger brother. I believe the oldest son may have went on one other school overnight trip with the chess club when he was 12.
Hubby and I volunteered as chaperones on as many trips as possible, but most of those were day trips. We also were chaperones for the 8th grade lock-ins for our children. A few weeks before the end of the school year, the 8th graders spent the night at the school for movies and games and then we chaperones cooked them a pancake breakfast before their parents picked up the very tired children at 10:00 the following morning. Those were fun times and the children were so well behaved!
Parents need to stop complaining and start lawyering-up.
Focus will be on STEM curriculum. Completely funded, unlike some of the public schools in the area which are experiencing funding shortfalls due to students being moved to other sources of schooling (private Christian schools, homeschooling, etc.).
Seems parents are helping out with a small portion of funding of the charter school in preparation for their children to go there. What was once a well-sought out school district in town has gone woke in less than five years. Thankfully, parents will have other options and are preparing accordingly.
City council and education "officials" are in a bit of a panic now. While *now* stating the public schools need to concentrate on STEM, they refuse to budge from the woke nonsense. Many parents here are now giving them the middle finger. It's is rather amusing to watch.
the other crazy south orange county school district.
this colby *itch needs to be dragged out of her office by her hair and shoved into her car never to return.
I was in 8th grade when we had Outdoor Education. It was an overnight camp for a weekend where we learned basic outdoor survival stuff - making fire, shelter, archery, canoeing, etc. That was in the 2000-2001 school year.
8th graders also had the Washington DC trip, which was also over a weekend. I missed out on that one, sadly.
At this time, we were still separated by sex.
this has been going on for a long time, I am 69 my brother were on a 6th grade trip in 1968 in san diego.
I also remember that back when we went on trips in high school, that we had to have a certain grade average to be eligible to go. That was dangled over our head for weeks before the planned trip and we all worked diligently to make sure we were on the approved list.
Considering the failed state of the current school system, I suspect the students would be better served staying in school and working on their reading and writing skills. But then again, do they even offer reading and writing classes in California school systems?
Translation: We - the public school - have all parental rights and the parents have none.
That is a plank of the communist manifesto.
