Everything you wrote is the God honest truth. 100%! How can anyone know their child better than a parent? Shame on everyone who has interfered and affirmed and torn apart families. Mark my words: one day you will ALL be held accountable, by the very God that made each and every child that YOU are trying to destroy and manipulate into believing the trans-cult lies. Beware! Judgement day is coming for YOU!

Maybe we should all share this with our local schools if we have permission to share

You write the cry and frustration and plea and absolute jaw dropped “wtf” of my heart. The last 2.5 years have been eye opening to the incredible (in the worst sense) people that feel entitled to an opinion let alone authority over my kid. I have been completely rocked by how far the moral compass and invasive nature of our school and medical system has come. How do you boil a frog? Slowly.

This is one of the best essays I have read on this site. Thank you, and may these statements be spread far and wide through our schools!

A letter to the board. If you give me permission to read it to my local board, condensed to their one-minute limit, I'll do so. Two years ago, I read a similar letter from PITT, and then posted an essay here about the experience.

God Bless.

Exactly. Teachers, staff, school boards, elected officials, politicians DO NOT LOVE your child. So when they start to put in any form of policy under the guise of 'caring for children' and leaving parents out, not consulting them....then one has to become very suspicious and stop believing their lying soothing manipulating rhetoric. Evil comes disguised as good.

And I would add:

"What about YOUR job? Your job is to nurture a child's hunger for learning, to become an advocate for a child's future prosperity, to open doors of opportunity for this person in front of you to produce more than the child thinks possible, perhaps more than we, the parents, thought possible. Where were you? Why did you abdicate this place in our child's life?"

I tell children “There are eight billion people in the world. Most of them do not care if you live or die. But you have only one mother.”
