“This video is disturbing on multiple levels. It shows how the government tries to supplant parents and their roles in their child’s life,” Yael Levin, chief communications and Technology Officer of No Left Turn In Education, a non-profit that focused on engaging parents in education, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “We are watching the government conspiring to undermine parents. And when I, as a parent, see this, it destroys whatever little trust I had left in the public school system. These officials are actively working to separate children from their parents.”
Educators are advised to ask students how they think their parents will react if they tell them about their gender identity, one video stated. Planning another sleeping arrangement for a student who may feel unsafe telling their parents they have a different gender identity is also suggested.
One of the officials in the training says gender fluidity, a change in what gender one identifies with, should be normalized by age 5. Educators are also taught ways they can change or hide a student’s name in their roster without changing any data that may be accessible to parents.
In 2017, the MDOE issued their guidance on creating a “safe and supportive” environment for LGBTQ students which included providing “professional development opportunities on issues affecting LGBTQ students to district staff and board members.” The MDOE suggested that the training should extend past educators to “coaches, bus drivers, cafeteria workers, custodians and administrative support staff.”
“This trend of hiding life altering behaviors from parents could end in tragedy,” Levin told the DCNF. “When I was in high school, I was struggling with anorexia. I reached out to my school counselor. The counselor then reached out to my parents and arranged for a program for me to help me. Of course, I was angry at the counselor and my parents at the time. But the counselor was doing what her job required of her, and her actions saved my life.”
MDOE and Phillips-Knope did not respond to the DCNF’s request for comment.
