Indiana Parents Discover School District Plans To Lie To Parents About Student “Gender Support Plans”

The lying to parents part is decidedly worse than the “gender support plan” part, which I also don’t think is a good idea. Teenagers are vulnerable, malleable, impressionable, uncomfortable, embarrassed, and desperate for attention and validation. All this makes them easy marks for radical gender activists who want to convince them that their feelings must mean they are trans and that they should mutilate their minds and bodies. As horrifying as that agenda is, it’s even worse when parents are intentionally kept out of the loop. That’s why Florida passed their overwhelmingly supported bill about parental rights in education. Parents should NOT be intentionally kept in the dark about things that pertain to their children, especially when it has to do with sex and sexuality. That’s actually a key tenet of grooming behavior.

In a nightmare scenario, “an email unearthed by parents at an Indiana high school has revealed a districtwide support plan for students undergoing gender transition and a policy to withhold and hide information from students’ parents.”

The Pendleton Heights High School counselor’s email dated August 16th informed teachers that a particular student had changed genders and was using new pronouns. The email specifically advised teachers that they were not to inform the student’s parents about the trans situation because the parents were deemed to be “not supportive of the decision.”

Upon discovery of this email, which exemplifies the school district’s policy about lying to parents about student sex and sexuality issues, parents were understandably outraged. Parent Jason Payne told The Daily Signal, “If staff at South Madison are willing to lie to parents about this—what else are they willing to lie about? How can I be assured my kid is safe while he’s at Pendleton if they can’t be trusted to be honest with me?”

And that really is the question. If the entire school district, including teachers, staff, and administrators, are perfectly comfortable going out of their way to coordinate with each other to lie to parents about something this consequential, what else are they willing to lie about? How can parents EVER trust teachers or school staff who lie to them about their kids?

One teacher, Amanda Keegan, resigned because she felt uncomfortable being instructed to lie to the faces of this student’s parents. Kudos to her for recognizing how inappropriate that is and being unwilling to engage in that inappropriate behavior. And how terrifying that more haven’t followed suit.

As always, I can’t help but ask where it ends? What if a teacher discovers that a student is having an inappropriate sexual relationship with an adult, which is rape and child abuse? What if that student insists it is part of their new sexuality and gender identity, and insists it be kept from their parents? Will the school coordinate to lie to parents about their child being sexually abused?
