Here is a group of Elementary school teachers who will tell parents NO (see below). Because in loco parentis1in place of the parent is an outdated notion & no longer applies.
Make note of the phrase “care giver” used by the first teacher instead of the more traditional word “parent.” That phrase applies to the teacher as well as the parent. Get the point?
Most parents who learn this is happening in their child’s Elementary School will work to see their state laws changed. Like what just happened in Florida. They may even clamor for School Choice.
Ya wanna bet?
🚨 During a “Creating and Sustaining GSAs in Elementary Schools” virtual panel, teachers were asked if they would abide by a parent’s request to use their child's legal name and sex-based pronouns instead of the child’s chosen name and preferred pronouns.
I mentioned author Helen Joyce in my last post. She has written a very fine book on the topic. A “Book of the Year” according to The Spectator. It’s one of the several that I’ve read on this subject. She has a PhD in Mathematics. She is the finance editor at TheEconomist. And now she has turned her attention to the most important issue of the day.
She is not a Christian, but she defends the reality of sexed bodies, male and female.
She’s very sharp. As you will see. She is also relentlessly reasonable.
Always great to talk to Andrew. Wonderful man, with an astounding grasp of the issues. https://t.co/P2DrOnP7T0

In England 800 schools have been sent copies of a children’s book, for children ages 8-11, entitled, What Does LGBT+ Mean?
In the book they are taught that a person’s sex is “assigned” to them by a doctor at birth and that gender can be a “sliding scale“.
The Times reports the book is….
Written by mother-and-son diversity campaigners, it features a picture of a doctor holding a clipboard and pen by a row of babies under the “assigned sex” chapter. The book adds that “gender is different from assigned sex” and is who they “feel” they are, with examples given as “male, female, both or neither”.
Author Helen Joyce, from the advocacy group Sex Matters told The Times:
Nobody is assigned a sex. I’ve given birth twice and both times I knew what sex the baby was at 20 weeks. It’s just absurd. How did we get to a place where teachers feel they can sit and say to primary children, ‘Some people feel male, some feel female, some feel both and some feel neither’?
If you wonder why states like Florida have written new laws about these matters, this is why.
According to The Times:
There are also two pages dedicated to an explanation of sexual orientation, with labels of heterosexual, gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual and asexual.
The book…
includes a section on “gender as a spectrum”, saying: “Some people find it useful to think of gender as a sliding scale between male and female.” The scale is shown with labels in between male and female, including mostly female, partly female, both or neither, partly male and mostly male.
