North Dakota dad shreds law-breaking school district for hiding kids' gender identities: 'Grow a backbone'

Parents in a North Dakota school district have raged over the local board's decision to defy state law and keep students' families in the dark about their gender transitions, leading some to go before the board and take a stand for transparency.

"Whose kids are these? Do they belong to you as a school board? Do they belong to Fargo Public Schools or is each parent's child ultimately the decision-maker in their family over what is allowed and what is safe for that child…?

"There is no possible way for each teacher to know every kid as intimately as their parents do," concerned mom Cassie Schmidt said to the board last week.
