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.

This is not school. It’s marxist indoctrination. They treat your kids like dirt. They are totalitarian fascists. Too late now. What are you going to do? They’ll harass your kid more, and find a way to throw you in jail.

The USA wasn’t always like this. It became a fascist dictatorship because too many people were addicted to “benefits” from the government, and voted democrat. Democrats take money from those who earn it, and give it to those who vote democrat, and call it a government “benefit.” As part of the deal, they take away more and more of your rights, and now the country is a fascist dictatorship.

Using the logic here, if I were a kid in this school system....I could walk in tomorrow and let them know that my status had changed, and I was a walking-pile-of-manure and wanted to be addressed as such from this point on. I could take a cow-paddy or two, and just rub it on the pants each day....letting everyone know that it’s ok....and they shouldn’t get hyped up about the smell.

All the six-year olds I know have an innate B.S. detector.

Is this being interfered with now?

What a shame.

When I was a kid playing sandlot or school yard baseball we would adopt the name of a team and a player from that team. I was “Al Kaline” playing right field and another kid on the “Tigers” would be “Denny McLain” on the pitcher’s mound. However, it all ended when the school bell rang, telling us to get in line on the way back in from recess. One time, a kid kept insisting that he was still “Mickey Stanley” and the teacher made him write “I am not Mickey Stanley” 300 times. My, how things have changed!

There is a growing segment of society that is caught up in this insanity. They need to be shunned and ridculed so they'll crawl back under the rocks they came from. People didn't put up with this kind of BS back in the 50s and 60s. And for good reason.

We're living in a Bizarro world now.

She probably hadn’t seen the other child since the end of the previous school year and didn’t know what that child had done over the Summer vacation. It was an honest mistake. She was a kid behaving what was,up until a year or so ago, normally.

Hey, teacher, leave them kids alone!

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?

What a twisted society we’ve become.

Those who scoff at the homeschoolers need to wake up to what’s really going on in the schools today.
