[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Right now, they're getting a relentless indoctrination into leftist orthodoxy so they can be special snowflakes who claim victimhood at every opportunity and can't listen to opposing viewpoints without dismissing it as "hate speech."

That's what all local private schools are peddling this year.[/quote]

It has gotten crazy at our progressive school too. Query - Is it transphobic if you are a heterosexual cis gender boy that doesn’t want to date a trans girl? My son was declared transphobic by a small group of classmates when he was repeatedly asked if (hypothetically) he would date a trans girl and he finally said no - this is during homeroom. He is 12 years old. He was upset and felt shamed by classmates. He told me after school he didn’t want to date a girl that had a penis, but couldn’t say that in class. I had to reassure him that it didn’t make him transphobic, but then my older teenager INSISTED that it did make him transphobic. Since when do heterosexuals have to be sexually attracted to transgender people? WTF? [/quote]

This sounds like conversations between students not a teacher facilitated discussion. I wouldn’t get too upset by it. Just maybe teach your teen what homophobic/anti-LGBTQ really means.[/quote]

Correct. It was not a teacher facilitated discussion. Teacher was present but not involved. I have discussed this with my son and I have validated that his feelings just mean he is heterosexual and does not mean he is transphobic. Trust me, he knows what homophobic and anti-LGBTQ means and has close family members that are LGBTQ.[/quote]
