Wisconsin teachers were instructed to hide their students’ gender identity transitions from their parents.
The directive was given during a February 25 professional training for staff at Eau Claire Area School District in western Wisconsin.
“Parents are not entitled to know their kids’ identities,” reads a slide from the presentation. “That knowledge must be earned.”
“Teachers are often straddling this complex situation,” the slide continues, adding that the district’s “priority is supporting the student.”
