Gender Issues of children is a Parent issue, not a school decision

Schools cannot hide Gender Issues from Parents!

Parents Defending Education submitted a public records request to Community Unit School District 300 seeking any guidance on transgender issues. The district provided PDE with a policy titled “Student Gender Support.” The policy appears vague if the gender identity of students can be hidden from parents: “Students have the right to openly discuss and express their gender identity and expression, and to decide when, with whom and how much information to share.”

Staff are mandated to use the preferred pronouns of students: “School personnel shall address the student by a name and pronoun that correspond to the student’s gender identity.” Students are allowed to use the restrooms and locker rooms as well as participate in athletic activities according to their preferred gender identity.
