A Texas school district is reportedly instructing its teachers not to "out" transgender or non-binary students to their parents.

What are the details?​

According to training documents obtained by the Daily Caller, administrators at Round Rock Independent School District are teaching educators to avoid telling parents about their children's sexuality status.

A portion of one of the documents — shared with Walsh Middle School in Williamson County, Texas — states, "DO NOT contact their parents and out them to their families."

Sounds about right. Schools can even provide your children an abortion pill without a parent's notification, even though they can't even given an aspirin without a parental consent.

They need to get rid of the board of education and let the parents run their schools and deal with problem teachers as they see fit.

You know that's what a local board of education is, right?

What is a sexual status?

Local Board of Education are not the parents but politicans. They and the Department of education should all be gone. The schools need one administrator making the decisions with a couple of Directors-----that the parents should be able to hire and fire. The PARENTS are the ones with skin in the game as it is their children.

The whole education group is corrupt and inept specializing basically in indoctrination of political and sexual idealogies.

I'd tell them it's none of my business.


because, it isn't.

Not cool my man. These kids are in need of support and understanding. They may have no one else to turn to. When they feel isolated and rejected they harm and even kill themselves.. Educators have a responsability beyond accademics.

A lot of people think that gender dysphoria is a joke but it is very real to those experiencing it .

Send them to the counselor, let them evaluate the situation and do their job recommending professional services from qualified and authorized help.
None of which involves the teacher or school for that matter needing to practice deceit ...

Accually that is an unexpected, reasonable response comming from you

Do you really think they are imported in from DC or assembled in some factory? They ARE parents living in the district.

Thanks ... Probably because it's the right thing to do ...
The fact that it has nothing to do with what you think about me and never will, is just a plus.

Shoot ... I can be the nicest person you could meet or your worst enemy.
It's kind of up to you in most cases.

Not to exclude the idea that I won't just rattle someone's cage if they decide to get squirrely ...

Since schools have taught gender studies, gender confusion is up some 4000%.

Not sure about that percentage but yes, there is more acknowledgement of gender isssues now. The question is why.

Can you or anyone establish a cause and effect relationship as opposed to a correlation ?
Can it be that this was an issue for a very long time but that kids just repessed and suffered in silence?

I will submit to you that a more progressive and accepting environment where people can express themselves and be who they really are is a healthier environment

And why, may I ask is there all of this hysteria about gender? Why are people so threatened by the fact that some people are non binary or were misgendered at birth. ? Regardless of the cause, they have a right to be who they believe themslves to be. Society is not going to go to the dogs if there is a small percentge of people who want to change their gender or not conform to traditional gender designations. If anyone thiks that it will please explaion. We need to get over it

Lastly we seem to have lost sight of the issue raised by the OP- What if anything educators should tell parents? My view, it should be up to the child. Educators should respect their confidentiality. Some parents are bigoted jackasses and volunterring informtion to them could put a child at risk of physical or emotional abuse. No one suggested that educators lie to parents. So what is all of the pearl clutching about?

That's the major problem with the topic ... It doesn't address a heathier environment for anyone.

Not telling the parents will never bring the parents and the children together in a manner that promotes a better or heathier relationship.
Assuming a parents will take a stance, they haven't even taken because they don't have the facts, can be a somewhat self-fulfilling proposition.

The eagerness of Progressives to assume the worst of people that don't openly embrace their desires ...
and the measures they will go to in order to hide what they are doing ... Is part of the problem.

Teachers shouldn't know anything about students sexual side to begin with, ever. Any teacher who is even approached by a student to discuss sex the teachers immediate response should be "you need to talk to your parents".

If I was a teacher I wouldn't touch the topic with a student with a 10ft pole. It isn't the teachers business to know about kids sexual sides anyway, it has nothing to do with school at all in any way, shape, or form.

Any developmental issues (including questions about gender identity) by a student to a teacher should be directed to the school counselor and parents.

When students are reluctant to let their parents know what is going on at school (being bullied, for instance, when the student doesn’t want his dad to know because he says his dad will think he’s a wimp-it happens) it’s harder to figure out the best course for the student.

It should always be about what’s best for the kid over all politicalized gender
BS, but sadly, like this case, it doesn’t mean it’s happening.

In general, secrets are never a good thing regardless of where they come from or who is told to keep the secret. Unfortunately, it brings to mind about family secrets that involve incest where the kids are instructed never to tell. Schools should not make “secret pact policies” period.

Telling parents is not gauranteed to bring them closer together either. It could create a major rift. Should an educator be put in the position of putting a child at risk of rejection, emotional abuse or even physical abuse? Iam not assuming that parents will react negativly, but we have to consider the possability that they will and consider the consequences , Educators should respect the confidentiality of students who confide in them. Kids, especially teens are already experiancing a high level of anxiety about sexuality, especially if they are questioning their gender identity or sexual orientation. They do not need any more problems. They should be able to comeout to their parentgs when they are ready to. They should not be outed by anyone

See post 156 And yes, It should always be about what’s best for the kid. But gebder identity issues are not politicalized bull shit. They are real social/ psycho;lical issues that need to be addressed as such. It is only those who are cringing in fear about alternative gener identies that are politicizing it . We liberals want to humanize it.

I didn't say that it would bring them closer together, just that it couldn't bring them closer together
and promote a heathier relationship if the parents were not told ... That choice is not the teacher's choice to make.

Otherwise ... It's not the school's job to decide on the viability of circumstances outside of what they are already authorized to control.
They are not professionally trained, and no one is asking their opinion.

If the Counselor determines appropriate safeguards and measure need to be taken, they have obligations that require them to report their findings ...
Provide proper contacts and references and handle the situation in a manner which does its best to see that the family gets the help they need.

Lying about the actual circumstance and withholding valuable information from the parents would be a gross injustice ...
One the teacher is in no way equipped to repair ... And should never be authorized to do.

Progressives need to understand that they are not all Professionals in Family Counselling ...
and don't have a clue what impacts their utter nonsense has or the irreputable damage it can do.


Progressives are free to fuck up their own kids ...

They are politicians living in the district seeking their own agenda which is often not in the best interest of the kids. Get the politics out of the classroom. Let the parent's decide the hiring and firing----people with the best kids should have the most say btw.
