Teachers in Eau Claire School District in Wisconsin Are Being Instructed to Keep Students' Gender Experimentation Secret From Parents

The Real Heroes Here: A Continuing Series.


Teachers at a school district in Wisconsin are being instructed to hide their students' changing gender identities from parents on the grounds that "parents are not entitled to know," and that it is "knowledge that must be earned," according to leaked training documents.

By "knowledge that must be earned," they mean of course that parents must show that they are pro-amputation and "gender transition" before teachers will tell parents that they're in the middle of successfully grooming the parents' children to be trans.

The instruction was part of several recent staff development sessions for teachers in the Eau Claire Area School District in central Wisconsin that focused on safe spaces, gender identity, microaggressions, and oppression. According to one of the trainers, parents who disagree with their kids about gender identity issues are guilty of a form of "abuse." The trainers also encouraged the teachers to be activists: "to vote, to demonstrate, to protest."

Critics of the training sessions called the instruction "blatant disregard for the parents and guardians of our community's children," and they said it sends the message that schools are in control of children, not parents and families.

...

One of the slides in the training session reads, "Remember, parents are not entitled to know their kids' identities. That knowledge must be earned. Teachers are often straddling this complex situation. In ECASD, our priority is supporting the student."

As part of the discussion on the topic, Chris Jorgenson, director of UW Eau Claire's Gender & Sexuality Research Center, said that "teachers are often put in terrible positions caught between parents and their students. But much like we wouldn't act as stand-ins for abuse in other circumstances, we cannot let parents' rejection of their children guide teachers' reactions and actions and advocacy for our students."

The Florida Anti-Grooming Bill, the so-called "Parents Rights in Education" bill, has a section about just this form of Groomer Abuse.

But the Florida Anti-Grooming Bill specifically states that teachers, administrators, school counselors, etc., cannot hide information about a students' gender from the students' parents.

That part of the bill doesn't get talked about, because the media is also running its own hide-the-truth-from-parents-until-they've-earned-that-knowledge game.

They don't want the public to know that this is a "service" schools are providing to children behind their parents' back.

That might be why they pushed so hard to call this the "Don't Say Gay" bill -- they don't want anyone to know about this important provision forbidding Groomers from telling children to lie to their parents about their little Sex Games they play together.

Bonchie at RedState, I think, made that point. Do you know who tells children "don't tell mom and dad about our private time together"?

Pedophiles, of course. Pedophiles tell children not to tell mom and dad.

The Eau Claire Area School District is also forcing children to Confess Their Racial Sins by taking this literal White Privilege test.

Here's Page 2. Note the scoring in the bottom right corner.

The test is flawed in structure. Takers are asked to answer "Yes vs No", but calculations are based on "if you answered more than 13 out of 26" - this makes no sense. Answered what? Yes, or no? AND answers are check boxes. I call bull shit on this whole thing.

Well, I mean: they are illiterates. We already knew that. If they could teach real academic material, they wouldn't be changing their jobs to "teach" this very easy bullshit material.

People who can, do;

People who can't, teach;

People who can't teach, teach CRT.

More Illiteracy From "Teachers:"

obliviondreams.png

"Such oblivion"?

What?

You mean "obliviousness."

But you said "oblivion."

Apparently the test makers are "without feeling of any penalty in my own culture for such oblivion" about the English language. That sentence shows a very deep facility with How English Works.

You cannot speak proper English and you seem... defiantly proud of that fact.

I don't want to knock people who only recently learned English -- learning a language is hard -- but should these illiterates be teaching kids in English? And denigrating a mastery of English as just another tool of White Oppression?

Have you considered that perhaps you're not educated enough or intelligent enough to teach very basic skills to fourth graders?

And that this is why you want to turn teaching into an Easy Mode job where the only two things taught is "White Bad" and "Black/Brown Good"?

16 "By "knowledge that must be earned," they mean of course that parents must show that they are pro-amputation and "gender transition" before teachers will tell parents that they're in the middle of successfully grooming the parents' children to be trans."

it is the social credit score system, which monetarily says you must earn a right to access your own bank account.

But in this case, teachers have declared you must earn the right to know if your children are being groomed. So you have to agree to their mental and/or physical rape, before they will allow you to know (of their crimes).

Children belong to their parents. The parents are responsible for the children. Children do not belong to the schools. In face, the schools belong to the parents, too, along with all residents. They are a public service, not an anointed clergy answerable to no one but their own hierarchy.

Except they act like the latter and the parents and residents need to remind them that the former applies.

Everybody understood that in her role as a teacher my wife couldn't just start talking about Jesus to kids. And if you called that censorship in the 20th century, people would just look at you funny and say it's part of the job.

Anything else you don't want a teacher to do is "censorship". And they have rights or something (in cases where they aren't "Congress incarnate").

Good call.

The local schools I went to as a kid were great, but subsequently failed my children miserably, even though we went to all the parent teacher conferences, all the PTO meetings, etc.

Five months ago it all came to a head and for a couple months I beat the ever loving daylights out of my liver. If it takes a year or two off of the backend of life, who cares? I am filled with anger at my schools and if I'm being honest, my 2 kids. Read up on daycare cases like Fells Acre or Wenatchee or McMartin Preschool and you will start to get an idea.

I'll be pouring a stiff martini in an hour or so and I can't fucking wait.

I think the grooming has always happened to a certain degree. People who want to abuse children put themselves in a position to abuse children, and "teacher" is a great position for that.

The key difference, in my opinion, is that grooming is now systemized and exists as a matter of policy. The schools are grooming complexes, rather than a place where grooming might occur.

Subjective tests tell you nothing except how the testee feels about things. They don't tell you anything about reality or the truth. Worse, they can be used forever to "prove" something which may not even exist, because you can teach people to FEEL oppressed and frightened when no danger exists and perpetuate this perception forever.

163 Named source in Z's office sez talks with russkis will continue tomorrow. This, after another named source said today's talks were "constructive", and (amusingly) said Russian "tone" was better and more flexible. I greatly doubt Moscow's core demands have changed a bit, but seems likely Kiev realizes it has no real game-changer in prospect and is looking at ending the thing.

164 Jay, I'm an LGBT+ ally because I have family I love that is LGBT, and I respect them enough to believe they can make choices for their own lives, even if I disagree with those choices. I want them to pursue finding their own form of happiness as long as it 1) does not rob my wallet, 2) takes away my inherent god given constitutional rights, or 3) punches me in the face.

It's getting much harder to be an ally because woke LGBT+ cancel culture wants to mess with all three.

172 Because all of literature in your youth was white

And this is another major flaw in modern thinking. Literature has no color. It is simply literature. Its good or bad on its own merits and value, without regard to ethnicity. There's great storytelling in every culture, and none of those great stories belong to a race or culture, but instead are simply part of the wider body of literature.

It is when you begin to apply identity groups and ethnicities to art that it begins to lose its value and validity as art. Things which were not art are called art, in order to boost a certain culture's visibility or "self esteem". Its just not art, is the problem. And as a result ALL art is degraded.

Its like sticking Dolly Parton in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I love Dolly Parton, and her music is great. But she's NOT ROCK AND ROLL. And the more you stick artists who have nothing at all to do with the subject, the less rock and roll ultimately means. You water down the definition until its devoid of significance.

A perfect embodiment of the superficiality of the constructionists. This is all external manifestation. This is exactly how the trans shit works.

12. I can speak in public to a powerful male group without putting my race on trial.

There's actually rather a lot to unpack in that one. First is the race stuff (again, of course), but then there is also the implication of sexism in the question. Speaking to a powerful female group means, by definition because it is excluded from the question, that racism will not be a factor. Racism is clearly a male thing per the question, and a powerful male thing in particular.

None will gain any actual traction. There will be "polls" showing them within 20 points of Trump, heralding the coming end of Trumpism in the Republican Party.

It will be so close that before voting is closed in SC, everyone will know that Trump is the nominee and everyone still in the race other than Trump are obvious grifters.

233 What pisses me off about the "Don't say 'gay'" stuff is when was a teacher ever not disciplined for breaking the rules of their employer?

Everybody understood that in her role as a teacher my wife couldn't just start talking about Jesus to kids. And if you called that censorship in the 20th century, people would just look at you funny and say it's part of the job.

Anything else you don't want a teacher to do is "censorship". And they have rights or something (in cases where they aren't "Congress incarnate").

The whole 60's on thing was about getting rid of what they didn't want in schools. Now it is about putting in what they want. It was foolish to believe schools can be viewpoint neutral. They can't.

267 >>> And this is another major flaw in modern thinking. Literature has no color. It is simply literature. Its good or bad on its own merits and value, without regard to ethnicity. There's great storytelling in every culture, and none of those great stories belong to a race or culture, but instead are simply part of the wider body of literature. It is when you begin to apply identity groups and ethnicities to art that it begins to lose its value and validity as art. Things which were not art are called art, in order to boost a certain culture's visibility or "self esteem". Its just not art, is the problem. And as a result ALL art is degraded.


THIS. This is also the big fight with the Lord of the Rings fans in the new Amazon show. The true Tolkien fans argue the books have always been diverse and discussed the universal themes of prejudice, bigotry, and rising above those... looking past the flaws in ourselves, to unite together to defeat evil. They just want the stories on the pages that they love brought to life. But the woke fans only care about skin color or gender of characters and "finally" being represented.

It's a fascinating fight and I hope the true fans prevail.

Posted by: vmom stabby stabby stabby stabby stabamillion at March 15, 2022 04:09 PM (bf/5h)


In 1918 the Duma under the new government declared DST because of the then current conflicts and the need to address economic issues.
They then forgot about it until the fall of the Soviet Union.

However here, it is a self fulfilling decision, it is so costly and disruptive, it must be incredibly valuable to offset the negative parts: it can only be justifiable because of that inherent (un-verified) benefit to society as a whole. The only solution is to impose it always because not doing so implies it was not actually worth anything and all the hassle and stress and pain and deaths were for nothing.

By the way, see the general prevailing opinion on the Covid shots, it is the same pretzel logic.

Benefits have to be considered as well, and while teachers aren't quite pulling down SEIU-level government employee benefits, they are doing quite well with the multiple extended vacations and days off in addition to everything else.

Teachers work their ass off, when they are teaching. Its not an 8-hour a day job, its more like 10-12. But they get tons of time off, to make up for the work.

Chris, the win in my mind is not getting Amazon to change its mind on how they want to tell LotR. Season 1 is in the can, it's not changing. And they won't back down on the woke. The win is if true fans backlash so hard that it finally spooks other smaller studios into backing down from going full woke.

Amazon paid for "fan" panels to gather and gushing in youtube vids about representation. True fans dug into their backgrounds and the fake fans were outed as big phonies and the videos were quickly memory holed by Amazon. That is a win. True fans are learning through this how to push back, and I hope they pick up more successful tactics during their fight.

399 21. I can go home from most meetings of organizations I belong to without feeling somewhat tied in, rather than isolated, out-of-place, etc.

__________

Uh, SJW test writer, how many people join organizations where they feel isolated and out of place?

If I went to a BLM meeting, or a Congressional Black Caucus meeting, or an NAACP meeting, or a Jews for Jesus meeting, or a KKK meeting, I'd feel out of place. But I wouldn't go to such meetings, because I'd never join such organizations.

Aside from organizations one is required to join (e.g., certain professional associations, unions, etc.) most organizations are composed of people who volunteered to join. And most people don't volunteer to join organizations where they feel out of place -- unless they're SJW assholes looking to make trouble, that is.

402 Don't leave out the large increase in teacher "catch up days " that always seem to fall on the Friday before a 3 day weekend.

Supposedly these "in service" days that are kids day off are the time teachers spend working on lesson plans, studying, and prepping classes to make up for when they weren't able to get the time to earlier.

But nearly every teacher I had in pre-college had been at it for years and just recycled the classes over and over with few changes. They didn't need extra time, or prep work. They'd done that all the first year or two.

In my district they are called 'personal development' days. Usually, there are a few teachers that will go ahead and call off 'sick' on Thursday so that they can take the short vacations at the beach or something.
