It's
everywhere, coast to coast - but you won't see much about it in the mainstream media. This has been going on for over two years, and the article quoted below was written in March 2023. The Biden administration wanted approval by May, but it has since been postponed until October of this year. Hopefully the pushback by parents nationwide will kill it entirely. Numerous articles - too many to count - can be found with a simple Google search.
"More than 3.2 million US public school students are covered by guidance that blocks parents from knowing whether their child identifies as a different gender in the classroom — which could become federal policy if President Biden’s Title IX proposals are approved in May.
At least 168 districts governing 5,904 schools nationwide have rules on the books that prevent faculty and staff from disclosing to parents a student’s gender status without that student’s permission, according to a list compiled by the conservative group Parents Defending Education and shared with The Post.
The 3,268,752 students affected by such policies go to class in all kinds of districts — large and small, affluent and poor, urban and rural, red and blue — stretching from North Carolina to Alaska..."
Nearly 6,000 US public schools are employing guidance policies that block parents from knowing whether their child identifies as a different gender in the classroom.

American law has long recognized the importance of parental rights. A parent’s right to oversee the care, education, and control of their child is guaranteed by the 14th Amendment, and confirmed by the Supreme Court in 1923, in Meyer v. Nebraska, and as recently as 2000, in Troxel v. Granville...

The biggest school district in Ohio, Columbus City Schools, spent over $24,000 on a presentation instructing teachers how to hide students' gender transitions from parents, according to a report.

OK. Thank you for sharing. Three responses:
1. "... guidance (rules) that blocks parents from knowing whether their child identifies as a different gender in the classroom ..." is something quite different from the points you first raised; which is: "... the teaching of our young children that they can change their sex just by wishing it so ..., " and "enabling this life-altering process upon minors WITHOUT PARENTS; KNOWLEDGE."
2. Who are these parents that apparently don't know their kids well enough to know they have -- real or imagined -- sexual identity issues? If there actually are parents like that, they should not be parents. There is something seriously wrong or seriously lacking in a parent who would not know such a thing about one's own children.
3. The rules that block notification of parents that their kids are acting or showing up in a certain way in the classroom seem wrong-headed to me. How does it serve anyone to keep parents in the dark? It's bad for teachers too. It puts them in a position where they are literally forced to lie. When you withhold a material fact from someone, it's called a lie of omission. Forcing teachers to lie in this way would be demoralizing to them, I would think. And it is not something that inspires parents to trust the reports they receive from teachers about other aspects of student behavior and performance.
If I was a teacher and forced to lie by such a rule, I would quit that job and find work in another school or industry. I don't know if this is a factor in Florida schools. I do know that teachers here are leaving in droves and a crisis exists because an insufficient number of replacements can be found.
