Throughout this proposed legislation, there are statements which do not allow for parents to be engaged or notified. Our children are not your children. Public schools only exist because taxpayers fund them. You are funded to provide an educational model. You do not exist to show bias toward some families. You suggest that the parents who are "on board" with letting their children identify with a different gender have full rights to communication and information about their child, but those parents who do not agree, do not. That is a very slippery slope that could not end well in a court of law or the ultimate welfare of our children. My children are my children FOREVER. They are on loan to you for a few years of their life. Secrecy is unwise in any stage of development and you are reinforcing an untrue rhetoric that parents who have a different worldview cannot be trusted by their own children. I strongly oppose this legislation.
