The discussion centers on whether school policy penalizes students for misusing pronouns and whether such penalties amount to harassment or suspension. The first speaker raises the core question: “For clarification, is this the policy that's used if a student misuses a pronoun they are suspended? An intentional. Yeah. That's part of the definition, bullying.” They illustrate the concern with a hypothetical: if a student’s parents raise their child to respond to a female with she pronouns, but that student says “I want to be something else,” will their child be suspended for that? The implication is that misusing or resisting pronoun usage could trigger disciplinary action under the policy. The chain of reasoning then states: “Oh yeah that would be harassment.” The speaker expresses disbelief upon learning that students might be suspended “because they are using the wrong pronoun,” stating they were aghast and did not realize that such suspensions occur. The subsequent line shows a pushback from another participant: “Should be disagree with you saying that's incorrect.” This introduces a contest over whether suspending for pronoun usage is correct, but the rebuttal immediately pivots to a claim about biological facts: “Well, one is biologically facts.” The conversation asserts: “It's actually XX chromosomes, XY chromosomes. Those are facts. We can't change those. It doesn't matter what our opinion is. We can't change those things.” The speaker emphasizes that these chromosomal facts are immutable. From there, the speaker clarifies their main question: “Those are immutable facts. And I'm wondering, are we what I'm asking, my question is, are we suspending students for immutable facts? That's what I'm asking. Not for making it as genuine.” In sum, the exchange presents a concern that disciplinary actions related to pronoun use might target individuals based on disagreements about gender identity and pronouns, and it juxtaposes this with a claim about immutable biological facts (XX and XY chromosomes) as a basis for questioning whether suspensions are being applied to immutable facts rather than to conduct. The dialogue frames a tension between policy definitions of harassment and a set of assertions about biological determinism, seeking to determine whether suspensions are being imposed for immutable factual claims rather than for misbehavior.

There is growing concern about the impact of the radical transgender agenda on our daily lives. One example is the access that some boys now have to girls' changing rooms in primary schools. A parent expressed discomfort with this situation, as her daughter feels uneasy about it. The school initially dismissed her concerns, accusing her of undermining the school. However, the school board has now announced that they will work on developing national guidelines and will engage with the parents to find a practical solution. Some argue that the focus should be on making the boy feel comfortable, while others emphasize the need to prioritize the safety and comfort of the girls.

A parent is demanding that District 109 designate locker rooms and bathrooms as biological male and biological female, citing an existing gender-neutral option. The parent claims their 13-year-old daughter was frightened and upset after encountering a biological male in the girls' bathroom on February 5. The administration allegedly stated that a student identifying as female can use the girls' facilities, which the parent believes violates federal policy. The parent filed a civil rights complaint with the Department of Justice, now referred to the Department of Education, after the incident. The parent claims the situation worsened when the same male student was present in the girls' locker room, leading the girls to refuse to change. Assistant Principal Kathy Van Trieste and others allegedly pressured the girls to change in the locker room. The parent says their daughter refused and sought help. The parent rejected the offer of a new PE class. The parent argues that allowing biological males into girls' facilities endangers female privacy and safety.

A concerned parent testified about alleged issues at Petaluma High School. They stated that their child brought home homework from Petaluma High School that was "inappropriate and extremely suggestive" from the English class. The parent said the book currently read in class includes themes of "sex and hiding underage sex from your parents, gender confusion and body dysmorphia." They asserted this is not an isolated incident, claiming that Ms. Lashon has assigned on more than one occasion material that centers on sexuality, gender, and politicized themes that do not belong in an English class of minors. They described a clear pattern and suggested it appears intentional. The parent said they brought these concerns to Principal Napoli, who allegedly told them that the board had approved these materials and that Napoli did not know these materials were being taught in a class their daughter attends. The parent expressed concern that consent was not sought, noting they signed their daughter out of sexual education, yet stated the material has been implemented in her other classes. They claimed that when addressing the school, they were told they were the only parent complaining and that they were effectively the problem, and they also reported emailing a board member without receiving a response. The parent argued this represents a break of trust, noting that parents trust the district with their children daily. They stated the teacher has also introduced other politicized ideologies, which they believe do not belong in school, particularly in English class. They cited land acknowledgments, saying their daughter came home confused about being told they are on stolen land and being guilted for living there and being who they are. The parent urged the board to examine the materials and the printed quotes they delivered to Principal Napoli. They claimed they were made to feel like the problem when raising these concerns and asked the board to disclose what material is being taught, especially if there are sexual themes, insisting it is not the district’s decision to implement that content in students’ classrooms.

The Department of Justice is coordinating with law enforcement to combat child abuse in schools. Changing a child's gender without parental notification is considered child abuse. Specifically, if a teacher attempts to change a five, six, or seven-year-old child's gender identity, the administration views this as child abuse and a violation of parental rights. This stance applies to the entire K-12 education system.

Parents at Marshall Simons Middle School were angry over intolerance and homophobia displayed by some students. The school had organized a Pride Spirit Day where students were asked to wear rainbow clothes, but some students countered by wearing red, white, and blue or black. Pride posters were torn down, stickers were ripped up, and some students chanted "USA are my pronouns" to intimidate those showing pride. While some parents were upset, others felt the situation was blown out of proportion. One parent explained that her daughter didn't want to participate in the event because she felt coerced and was offended by a quote about the human heart not being straight.

A speaker visited the school for two days to ensure that staff could provide information to students about their gender. They emphasized the importance of adults guiding students in sexual education, including topics like masturbation and anal sex. The speaker mentioned a bill that was passed for children as young as five years old. The speaker acknowledged that discussing these topics might be uncomfortable for some, but believed it was necessary. They mentioned critical race theory and pointed out that the principal and mayor of the school were black.

Teacher Darren's pronouns are z, zer, zer, zerz, and zerself, and they identify as gender neutral, neither female nor male. Students should refer to them as Teacher Darren, without "mister" or "missus." While Teacher Darren can be pretty or handsome, they are not a lady. A student questioned why they have to learn this, and Teacher Darren responded that the world is changing. A student stated that not the whole world is like this, and Teacher Darren suggested starting in the classroom. Another student asked if they could use "she, her" pronouns when talking to their parents about Teacher Darren, but Teacher Darren said no, and suggested the student educate their parents. A student stated that their parents might get angry and confront Teacher Darren, but Teacher Darren dismissed this concern, stating that these are their pronouns and that's the way the world is working. Another student asked if this was part of the curriculum, but the response was cut off.

Nicole Solis, a mother from Rhode Island, shares her experience of being sued by the teachers union for simply wanting to know her kindergartner's curriculum. When she asked to see the curriculum, she was told to submit a public records request as it wasn't available online. She also inquired about gender theory, but the school refused to answer her questions directly. Instead, they insisted on communicating only through public requests. Nicole submitted 100 public records requests, and as a result, the school board held a meeting to discuss suing her. They attacked her character, accused her of causing chaos, and even made her feel unsafe. The NEA, the largest teachers union in the country, eventually filed a lawsuit against her. Nicole hopes her story will prevent other parents from facing similar situations. She is still in litigation after almost two years, without receiving the answers she sought.

Hi, I'm Denise Bell, a mom of four and chapter chair for Moms for Liberty Harris County. I'm speaking on behalf of an HISD parent whose daughter, a junior at Bel Air High School, was actively socially transitioned at school without their knowledge or consent. In ninth grade, the theater teacher asked for the student's pronouns on an information sheet. Following this, multiple teachers began calling her by a different name and pronouns. One teacher even crossed out her legal name on her paper and wrote her chosen name in red ink. This was done without the parents' knowledge or consent, going against their Christian faith, the advice of their therapist, and common sense. Meetings with teachers, counselors, and the principal yielded no change. HISD is secretively transitioning minors.

A parent is demanding that District 109 designate locker rooms and bathrooms as biological male and biological female, citing an existing gender-neutral option. The parent claims that on February 5, her 13-year-old daughter encountered a biological male in the girls' bathroom. The administration allegedly stated that a student identifying as female could use the girls' facilities, which the parent believes violates federal policy. The parent filed a civil rights complaint with the Department of Justice, now referred to the Department of Education. The parent states that the male student was later present in the girls' locker room, and when the girls refused to change, school officials allegedly pressured them to change in the locker room. The parent claims her daughter was offered a new PE class, which she refused. The parent is asking the school to give the girls their locker room and bathrooms back.

My children now attend private school because we decided to leave LCPS. We made this choice because we disagreed with the political agenda of the superintendent and school board, led by Williams Ziegler. In spring 2020, my 6-year-old asked me if she was born evil because she learned in a history lesson at school that being white meant being evil.

10-year-old autistic student Kenzie was suspended from Manor Lakes College after encountering a transgender student in the girls' restroom. Kenzie's mother, Stacey Lawler, expressed her disappointment in the lack of educational support and inclusion provided to her daughter. Despite requesting the suspension be lifted, the school refused. Kenzie's grandmother also attended the meeting but was asked to leave, leaving them with unanswered questions. The lack of communication from the school has frustrated Kenzie's family. The suspension was based on a remark Kenzie made about a person's identified gender, causing emotional distress to another student. Kenzie's mother believes her daughter's confusion and lack of understanding were not taken into consideration. This incident raises questions about how schools address gender identity and inclusion, particularly for students who may not fully comprehend the complexities of the issue.

A parent pulled their children from New York City private schools due to radicalism. Their eldest child, in third grade at a top all-boys school, was subjected to a weeks-long educational program on trans issues without parental notification. The program featured men in tutus and suggested that liking the color purple could indicate being secretly female. The boys were asked to rate their certainty about being male on a scale of one to five, with confusion being presented as an option. The parent stated that the school taught the children that there could be at least three or four, but possibly a hundred genders. The parent considered this child abuse and withdrew their children from the school. Another speaker confirmed that this story highlights how deep the problem is, because it is happening even in high-end private schools.

Serena and Joe Wales, two parents from Colorado, are suing a local school district after alleging their 11-year-old daughter was forced to share a room with a transgender student during an overnight field trip two years ago. The daughter was told she would be rooming with three female students, but one of them was a transgender girl. The daughter called her mother—who was serving as a chaperone at the event—and was later moved to a different room, with instructions not to discuss the reason. The Wells’ family joined as part of a case brought on behalf of four families. The couple initially tried to address the issue with the school district directly but felt unheard, ultimately turning to legal action two years after the incident. They say the case was dismissed by a Biden-appointed judge, Regina Rodriguez, with prejudice in August, who ruled that while parents may have the right to instill moral and religious values, they do not have the right to replace public education with their own personal views or to control every aspect of their children’s education. The Wells say the decision left them frustrated and indicates a broader concern that parents are excluded from information and decision-making about school policies. The case has now been appealed to the Tenth Circuit. Attorney Matt Sharp, senior counsel with Alliance Defending Freedom, represents the Wells and the other families. He explains that the plaintiffs want parental rights protected, for parents to be informed about policies, and for their requests—such as not having their child share a room with a transgender student—to be honored. The plaintiffs argue that the school district should respect girls’ privacy and protect parental rights, and they seek to have the policy enjoined and ultimately changed. During the discussion, Sharp notes additional concerns raised by another family in the suit: a boy was forced to share a cabin with a girl for an entire week, with a girl assigned to monitor the boys during showers, dressing, and changing. The Wells emphasize that this incident and others represent privacy violations affecting multiple children and highlight a perceived need for parental involvement in policy decisions. Serena, Joe, and Matt express that this case is a matter of parental rights, school transparency, and protecting students’ privacy. They say the issue relates to broader debates about opt-out rights and parental involvement in education. The conversation concludes with the expectation that the case will be closely watched at the Tenth Circuit.

They've lost custody of their 16-year-old daughter due to her belief that she was born in the wrong body. The parents disagreed with the school and hospital's decision to socially transition her. The child protection agency got involved, leading to a legal battle. The parents feel helpless and miss their daughter, who now lives in a government facility. They speak out to prevent other families from experiencing the same pain and emphasize the importance of parental love and support in a child's life.

A teacher allegedly dedicated three days a week to LGBTQ curriculum for eight-year-olds. The speaker questions whether all students are excelling in core subjects to justify this time allocation. The speaker believes sexuality and nudity are inappropriate topics for this age group. The teacher allegedly disregarded a parent's concerns and sought ways to continue the lessons behind the parent's back. The speaker asserts that all children matter and objects to these subjects being taught to eight-year-olds.

We were instructed to use gender-neutral terms, replacing "mother" and "father" with "parent," and "brother" and "sister" with "sibling." We learned to affirm transgender children and were shown supportive videos about transgender individuals, emphasizing that rejecting or not affirming someone’s identity could be harmful. The school referred to women as AFAB individuals with vulvas and encouraged us to introduce ourselves with our pronouns and to ask others for theirs during introductions.

Kaylee Weichbroat, a Fairfax County mother of two, is facing a difficult decision regarding her oldest child's preschool education. Fairfax County Public Schools plans to institute gender studies in elementary school, despite community focus groups indicating parents did not want this. The school board then allegedly voted 16-0 to move forward, which Weichbroat believes demonstrates that the board views parents as obstacles rather than partners. She is hesitant to entrust her child to a system that does not want to partner with her in his upbringing. Weichbroat believes early childhood education should focus on exploration, creativity, and fun, not adult debates. She feels sensitive topics should be introduced by parents according to their own values, not through a top-down ideology.

I'm Nicole Solis, a mother from Rhode Island sued by the teachers union for asking about my kindergartner's curriculum. The school refused to share it, saying I had to submit a public records request. When I asked about gender theory, they avoided answering and criticized me in a 5-hour school board meeting. They never intended to sue me but wanted to humiliate me. The NEA then filed a lawsuit to intimidate parents asking questions about public education.
