Over 1,000 School Districts Hide Students’ Gender Identities From Parents

A new report sounds the alarm on the growing number of schools embracing transgender ideology and keeping parents in the dark.

According to Parents Defending Education, at least 1,040 U.S. school districts have adopted policies instructing or encouraging faculty and staff to keep students’ gender identities a secret from parents.

Those districts include over 18,000 schools responsible for nearly 11 million students. The vast majority of those school districts (593) are in California.

“I am grateful to Parents Defending Education for their attempt to quantify this problem,” Meg Kilgannon, senior fellow for education studies at Family Research Council, told The Washington Stand. “It is important to support with evidence what many parents know by instinct or experience: Our educational system that is supposed to work with parents will often work around parents instead.”
