| Teacher’s 1-on-1 Transgender ‘Lessons’ Leave 9-Year-Old Boy Suffering from Anxiety |
| 2019-05-12 |
| [WESTERNJOURNAL] Most people understand that kids just want to be kids. While adults run around squabbling over politics and careers, the childhood years are a time to develop and grow free of the complexities of adulthood. But at an elementary school in Oregon, a teacher is being accused of trying to push her sexual views and politics onto a student, all hidden from parents. To make matters worse, the student was only eight years old at the time. "Parents in Woodburn said their 8-year-old son was held back from recess multiple times for one-on-one conversations about his gender identity," reported KPTV News in Oregon. What began as conversations quickly changed into full-on lessons about trangenderism, according to the lawsuit. The Nellie Muir Elementary School teacher allegedly held the boy back from second-grade recess multiple times to have inappropriate conversations about his sexual identity in April 2018. "The parents said the teacher asked their son if he thought he was a girl multiple times," KPTV explained. "They say the teacher held the boy back from recess several times to watch videos and read books about being transgender." Remember, this wasn’t part of any school curriculum. The parents say the teacher singled out the boy for "lessons" after he had a bathroom issue, and pushed transgender material such as non-explicit videos onto him after assuming he questioned his gender. As you might imagine, elementary school can be a confusing enough place for young kids to navigate. So when the boy ‐ whose name is being protected ‐ was singled out by a teacher and essentially told that he should question who he was, he was impacted. |

| #1 That teacher needs to be suffering from a real good whipping, tarring and feathering and a few other punishments to remain nameless. |
