Schools Secretly Pushing Kids Into LGBTQ Movement

The Supreme Court has an opportunity this term to upend secret gender transition policies in over a thousand school districts.

Despite President Donald Trump’s executive order calling for the suspension of funds for schools that continue to keep parents in the dark and facilitate “social” transitions, many districts aren’t backing down. Several parents urging the Supreme Court to hear their cases could force lasting change if the justices decide to clarify the law surrounding parental rights.

Heads up to parents and grandparents.

Be informed, not misled.

The Daily Caller reported: 

“The issue of school secrecy policies is not only not going away, it promises to be an even bigger problem this year,” Defending Education Vice President and Legal Fellow Sarah Parshall Perry told the Daily Caller News Foundation. 

Amid the Trump administration’s crackdown, parents in several districts shared questionnaires that teachers gave kids asking for preferred pronouns when the 2025-2026 school year started. In Southern California, one lawyer informed school board members during an August meeting that students have a right to privacy even from their parents, advising them to ignore Trump’s executive orders.

Trump directed agencies to rescind federal funds from schools that “directly or indirectly support or subsidize the social transition of a minor student, including through school staff or teachers or through deliberately concealing the minor’s social transition from the minor’s parents” in a January executive order.

One parent posted this on X:

So here we go again — apparently, the message still hasn’t sunk in, and the indoctrination continues.

California

The U.S. Department of Education announced an investigation into California for state law prohibiting school officials from disclosing a child’s “gender identity” to parents, alleging this conflicts with obligations to inform parents under the Family Educational Rights Privacy Act (FERPA).

In California’s Santa Ana Unified School District (SAUSD), a current presentation teaching staff how to implement “Identity Support Plans” directs school officials to determine if the student is “out” with family members at home, according to slides obtained by the DCNF.

“Discuss how the student wants to be addressed when family members come to the school for pick up, conferences, IEP meetings, etc,” the presentation by the district’s LGBTQ+ liaison says.

Secretary of Education Linda McMahon stated in the announcement, 

“Teachers and school counselors should not be in the business of advising minors entrusted to their care on consequential decisions about their sexual identity and mental health. That responsibility and privilege lie with a parent or trusted loved one. It is not only immoral but also potentially in contradiction with federal law for California schools to hide crucial information about a student’s wellbeing from parents and guardians. The agency launched today’s investigation to vigorously protect parents’ rights and ensure that students do not fall victim to a radical transgender ideology that often leads to family alienation and irreversible medical interventions.”   

State laws do not override federal laws, and educational entities receiving federal funding are subject to FERPA and its implementing regulations. Violation of FERPA can result in termination of an educational entity’s federal funding. 

FERPA is a federal privacy law enforced by the Department's SPPO. FERPA gives parents the right to access their children’s education records, the right to request record corrections or amendments, and the right to control, with important exceptions, disclosure of personally identifiable information in education records.  

California Assembly Bill 1955, which was signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom and took effect on January 1, 2025, appears to conflict with FERPA by prohibiting schools from requiring personnel to disclose a child’s “gender identity” to that child’s parent. As a result, according to the California Justice Center, “every public school in California has a policy of denying, or effectively preventing, the parents of students...the right to inspect and review the education records of their children.” 

Takeaway

 “Parents are being deceived on many levels in [California] public education,” Santa Ana Unified School District board member Brenda Lebsack told the DCNF. “We have primary books teaching 5-year-olds that their gender can change like the weather based on their feelings, and if these teachings confuse them into gender fluidity, school personnel cannot tell parents unless the child gives them permission. This is upside down, wrong, and a huge betrayal of public trust.”

Petitions to review at least three cases related to secret gender transition policies will reach the Supreme Court this term.  

It is of ‘Growing National Importance.’

Several justices have already indicated interest in considering the issue.

Justices Brett Kavanaugh, Samuel Alito, and Clarence Thomas had previously expressed interest in accepting a challenge brought by Wisconsin parents concerned about their district’s policy, but the petition was denied in December by the other six justices.

Alito, in a dissent joined by Thomas, noted the case presented “a question of great and growing national importance.”

An appeals court had dismissed the Wisconsin parents’ case because none of the challengers actually had kids who were socially transitioned under the policy.

The Foote case, however, does not present the same potential issues with standing, as the school acted contrary to the parents’ express wishes by socially transitioning their daughter.

Perry noted the Supreme Court is more likely to take up the matter now, though it “punted on the issue last term.”

“The only end to the proliferation of these nefarious policies is by way of the Supreme Court’s ultimate disposition — something desperately needed in light of educational intransigence and malfeasance across the country,” Perry said.

The Bible is very clear about raising children, and it is not speaking to public schools:

Several Scriptures address the topic of raising children. They emphasize providing a strong spiritual foundation and guidance, such as:

• Proverbs 22:6: "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old he will not depart from it". 
• Ephesians 6:4: Instructs fathers to bring children up in the "training and instruction of the Lord." 
• Colossians 3:21 warns fathers not to "embitter your children, lest they be discouraged".
• Deuteronomy 6:6-7 also provides guidance to parents, stating, "And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up".  

These admonitions are directed toward parents, not government-run schools.

Be Informed. Be Discerning. Be Vigilant. Be Engaged. Be Bold. Be Prayerful.
