This is a significant breach of trust and parental rights.
KEY POINTS
Lisa Shelby, HiTOPS Executive Director: “There’s a mandate for racial justice and inclusivity… sometimes that’s how we get through.”
Hannah Wiers, HiTOPS Health Educator: “So … a note would get sent home and say… ‘next week we’re talking about anatomy, or you know, gender identity.’ And a parent could send a form back saying, ‘you have to pull my child.’ And so… I think our real goal would be to make sure that that opt out doesn’t exist.”
Hannah Wiers, HiTOPS Health Educator: “They all have school-issued…laptops… which can be nice because then they can send out…a google form. Like, remind me what name you like to be called. Remind me what pronouns you like to use.” Journalist: “So you send it directly… to the student, not the parent.” Wiers: “That’s what we encourage staff to do, yes.”

I haven’t written much about Critical Race Theory, but there are links in a ‘critical theory chain’ between early-to-mid 20th century Marxists and today’s Gender Ideologues.
You should read an excellent article on this by Law Professor Robert P. George of Princeton University.
Perspective: Are classrooms exchanging MLK’s dream for identity politics?
Some are dividing our world into two categories: persecutors and the persecuted. Reality is much more complex
What is being taught in many schools today is not critical race theory, if by “critical race theory” one means the writings of Bell, Delgado, Matsuda, Williams and others who developed this approach to law.
In fact, students are not given a formal “theory” of anything at all. But they are encouraged to view the world in a certain way — they are being taught to be identitarians — that is, to treat racial or gender identities as central to who they, themselves, and other people are. And this teaching is often justified in the name of “anti-racism.”
Genspect, an international and non-partisan organization representing thousands of parents of gender dysphoric children, adolescents, and young adults, as well as trans people, detransitioners, clinicians, and allied groups has written…
“An Open Letter to the American Academy of Pediatrics”
…asking that our children be affirmed as whole human beings.
Why this letter now? Genspect believes the AAP is suppressing support for something called Resolution 27.
We have recently become aware that five pediatricians submitted a resolution (#27) to urge the AAP to do a thorough and systematic evaluation of the available evidence and to update the 2018 AAP position paper Ensuring Comprehensive Care and Support for Transgender and Gender Diverse Children and Adolescents, which incorrectly promulgates the notion that “gender affirmative” psychosocial and medical interventions are the only acceptable treatment for gender dysphoric youth. This resolution is timely: thousands of young adults are coming forward on Detrans subreddit and other social media platforms describing their regret. Why is this happening? A recently published peer-reviewed publication warned that the original “Dutch” protocol that is now used to treat dysphoric youth suffers from significant methodological limitations and is not applicable to most of the current cases: namely youth with post-puberty onset of gender dysphoria complicated by mental health or neurocognitive difficulties.
In the Open Letter you will read about Europe’s reconsideration of Affirmative Care. And much, much more.
