Two members of the Orange Unified School District board have been removed by parents who opposed a policy requiring school staff to out transgender kids.
Parents in Southern California have voted to remove two conservative school board members after they spearheaded a policy that forcibly outs transgender students to their guardians.
Members of the Orange Unified School District board voted 4-0 to enact the policy in September. It was passed at 11:30 p.m., after the three opposed members walked out and withheld their votes.
The policy states that parents must be notified when a student seeks “to be identified as a gender other than the student’s biological sex or gender listed on the student’s birth certificate or any other official records.” This includes names, nicknames, and pronouns, and applies even if the student hasn’t taken action but has discussed the matter with a counselor.

At the initial meeting in September, the board was overwhelmed by crowds who showed up to either protest or support the policy. However, the majority of the attendees voicing support did not have children in the district’s schools, and most were not residents of the area, according to the Times.
This isn’t a bad argument in isolation, I’ll give you that much, but in the context of outing queer students to their potentially intolerant and abusive parents, while prohibiting any nuance to actually protect students from abuse (even if the kid tells you) is a horrific idea that will absolutely hurt vulnerable kids. Not trusting teachers to make the right call and punishing them if they try to protect a child from parental abuse isn’t fair to the teachers or the affected students. Fuck your right-wing “parental rights” bullshit, enroll your kid in a private Christian school if you’re so hellbent on repressing them.
The fact that you are so hung up on gender identity specifically suggests that you understand this fully, hold hatred against queer people, and want to see kids forced into the closet or exposed to abuse by these measures. That you understand the discriminatory intent, and agree with it.
That you’re such a piece of shit to everyone criticizing you basically confirms it.
Just go back to Reddit where you belong.
I don’t hold hatred to anyone. I just don’t allow people to bully me into stupidity. I know what I meant and I know what I said. If you don’t like it, don’t respond.
You found stupidity all on your lonesome. No bullying required.
Lmao, I definitely didn’t make this guy stupid. He was like that when I found him.

you need to calm down
he needs more than just that.
does baby need his bottle?
Ok then. I’m so glad you have to pick on the guy just saying parents aren’t to blame for all the older kid’s choices. It makes total sense to keep yammering on with the dumb statements.
bwahahaha!
Yeah, if that’s the case, tell me more about “acting” and “words”?
fuck me, you’re such a stupid piece of shit.
