Schools are pressuring kids to transition then hiding it from the parents.

No they're not, stop lying about that. 🙄

If that doesn't raise alarm bells you might be a gr00mer

Sounds like you might be projecting there, champ.

The reason this is concerning is because kids get beaten or murdered by parents for being different all the time. Lot of shitty parents out there, so it should probably be up the the student on when or if they come out to them.

I wish it wasn't true.

According to the legal document, "Under the Parental Secrecy Policy, Buena Vista teachers and staff would keep secret from parents that their children had articulated confusion about their gender identity, evinced a desire to change their gender identity, or assumed or expressed a new gender identity, unless the student expressly authorized the parents to be informed."

“So, then I just make sure when I am calling home, I use what they prefer,” the teacher admits. Then she adds the coup de grâce, “Even if someone told me I couldn’t do that, and I couldn’t call them whatever they want or the pronouns they want without parent permission…” here she pauses for dramatic effect while leaning into the camera, “…I would still do it.” The teacher who prefers to keep a student’s transition a secret then signs off with a knowing laugh.

Some teachers said they followed the rules, but others discussed being 'subversive,' how their personal 'code of ethics' trumped laws, and how to 'hide' a trans student's new name and gender from their parents.

Your quotes don't support your idea that schools are forcing children to transition... They are literally just protecting a child's confidential statements because there are shitty fucking parents out there that would kill or abuse their children over this.
