Middle school teacher issues dire warning amid claims she was forced to hide students' gender identity
Fox News
California teacher Elizabeth Mirabelli told Fox News Digital that school policies keeping a student's gender identity from parents effectively teaches children to be deceptive.
Attorneys for Mirabelli and fellow teacher Lori Ann West, both of whom taught for decades at Rincon Middle School in Escondido, filed a federal lawsuit against the school's leadership in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California last week after the women claimed they were effectively required to lie to parents about their children if they assumed a different gender identity in school.

The lawsuit, which was also filed against administrators with the Escondido Union School District (EUSD) and the California State Board of Education, alleged that the K-8 school district's harassment and discrimination policies mandated teachers to accept a child's transgender or gender diverse identity without hesitation and to hide it from families.
