School required us to lie to parents about their kids' gender identity, California teachers claim in lawsuit
Fox News
Two California middle school teachers are suing school administrators after they were allegedly instructed to deceive parents about their children's gender identity.
The teachers claim they were mandated under the K-8 school district's policies to accept a child's transgender or gender diverse identity without hesitation and to hide it from families. They said they were instructed to use students' preferred names and pronouns in school, but to revert to their biological pronouns and given names when speaking with their parents. "The real outrage here is that schools are requiring educators to hide critical information from parents about their child’s well-being." Jon Brown is a writer for Fox News Digital.

When encountering "a suspicious parent," teachers were instructed to reply that they were allowed only to discuss "information regarding the student’s behavior as it relates to school, class rules, assignments, etc.," according to the suit.
