Myth + Fact

Myth.

Teachers are encouraged to introduce materials that tell students that sex is arbitrarily assigned at birth and that ask students to choose from a dizzying array of gender identities. The schools craft “Gender Support Plans” designed to hide the child’s new name, pronouns, and emotional challenges from their parents.
