I work for my local school district. Currently, the entire district is celebrating a “Month of Kindness.” Every school is decked out in decorations and posters with messages like, “Be Kind”, “One Kind Act a Day,” and “Be the ‘I’ in Kind.” Teachers are wearing kindness t-shirts, and all students and employees have wristbands. Your reaction, like mine, to a school district promoting kindness might be “Ugh!” Before trans-ideology hit my house and my family I would have welcomed the opportunity to help spread kindness at school. It would never have crossed my mind that telling kids to “be kind” could be problematic. But not anymore. Because this is what I know:

[...]

• I know that there is a trans-identified child in a 4th grade classroom in my district masquerading as the opposite sex and that some parents with kids in the class know the truth, but the students in the class do not. At least one mom is incredibly worried about losing her own son’s trust when he finds out she knew and didn’t tell him.

• I know that in an online district training presentation there is a slide of an androgynous looking school-aged child with the following specifics on the slide: age 10, he/him pronouns.

[...]

• I know that until parents complained there were two school counselors at a junior high in our district with engraved pronoun signs on their office doors.

• I know that there is a junior high in a neighboring district with a trans-identified assistant principal.

• I know that an “expert on LGBTQ+ students” has been invited to give a presentation at an annual statewide Outreach Conference I will be attending.

• I know that in this year’s annual district “Belonging and Inclusion Training” there was a whole section dedicated to the risk of suicide in LGBTQ+ students, with statistics and information provided by the Trevor Project, an activist organization that gets money “supporting LGBTQ+ students at risk for suicide”, which of course is a conflict of interest.
