[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ll play. My child’s first grade teacher taught class about pronouns and encouraged DC to adopt different ones. When we expressed that step was perhaps a bit drastic for a 6 year old and perhaps could slow roll any social transition to see how things played out, school told us to F off and basically implied that we are bigots. It was only when our normally happy and enthusiastic child developed daily anxiety and school-avoidant behaviors did teacher and admin back down with tail between their legs, and stopped reading daily books about pronouns to the class.

Thankfully child is doing great from a confidence and sense of self perspective a couple years on, and doesn’t talk about pronouns anymore, fyi.

People on this board have told me that this didn’t happen, but I can assure you that it did and that it was an extremely challenging 12-18 months for the whole family. We are liberal democrats fwiw.[/quote]

Was this in MoCo? [/quote]

Yes, in a top regarded elementary school.[/quote]
