Amiddle school in Texas instructed its teachers to not reveal any “transgender” or “non-binary” students’ identities to their own parents, drawing significant backlash from parents in the district.
According to the Daily Caller, the controversy originated at Walsh Middle School (WMS), which is part of the Round Rock Independent School District (RRISD). The instructions were given as part of a teacher training seminar, which included a PowerPoint presentation outlining these orders.
The most controversial slide, titled “What NOT to Do” regarding a student’s alleged “transgender” identity, is the sentence “DO NOT contact their parents and out them to their families.” The slide continues by claiming that “it is potentially dangerous and could be long-term damaging for the student.” Other slides in the presentation include “What if I make a mistake and misgender someone,” as well as “pronoun tips.”
One slide bizarrely claims that “strangers,” including school counselors, can be “dangerous,” and even fatal, for “transgender” students.
