California School District That Secretly "Transitioned" Child Settles Lawsuit for $100,000

The Spreckels Union School District in Monterey County, California, has settled a lawsuit that alleged it encouraged a girl to change her gender while concealing the transition from her parents.
The settlement came to $100,000 -- $48,000 for the mother who was deceived; $48,000 to the girl who was the alleged victim; and $4,000 for medical expenses the plaintiffs had to incur with the California Department of Health Care Services.
The Los Angeles Times reported:

The settlement, agreed to in mid-June and approved by a federal judge Aug. 3, brings an end to the legal action pursued by Jessica Konen and her daughter Alicia, who went by the initials A.G.
...
The lawsuit alleged that teachers and administrators at Buena Vista Middle School "secretly convinced A.G." that she was bisexual and, later, transgender.
...
A.G. suffered "profound mental stress" due to the action of school personnel, who encouraged the student not to inform her mother, according to the lawsuit.
The lawsuit was brought after author Abigail Shrier published a story on her Substack, The Truth Fairy, titled "How Activist Teachers Recruit Kids." The story described a presentation by two teachers at the Buena Vista Middle School who ran the school's "gay-straight alliance," known as "You Be You" (or UBU). Shrier reported that the teachers admitted that they "surveil students electronically to ferret out students who might be interested, after which the identified student is recruited to the club via a personal invitation." They also discussed evading parents and mocking their concerns. The teachers have since resigned and the UBU club has been suspended for a year.

In a school district in Colorado, the teachers union is instructing teachers about how to destroy gender-bender "questionnaires" to hide their secret gender transitions of children.

Some parents in Jefferson County say teachers are breaking state and federal laws and their union is helping them get away with it.
At issue are student surveys about gender identity. While the school district says it's unclear whether surveys about students' preferred pronouns are illegal, there are several lawsuits regarding the issue. So, administrators told teachers - just don't go there.
The teachers union told them something else. An email from Jefferson County Education Association (JCEA) to teachers says, "if you do a questionnaire, please make it a paper and pencil activity - any digital records are more permanent and may be requested under federal law."

The teachers unions are evil. Full stop.

SOME of the individual teachers may not think they are, but if they are part of the union, what do you call someone who gives money to an evil organization?

6 The Right really needs to get better at lawfare.

If we were smart, we'd send a message loud and clear that any sort of push to transition your gender from a teacher and we will bankrupt you in court. You'll be spending the rest of your life giving depositions and meeting with lawyers. teachers would be scared shitless to have these conversations with kids.

Sort of like what we go through when someone with a religious conviction doesnt want to bake a cake.

25 Teachers that (covertly or not) groom susceptible kids should be prosecuted for child abuse. And efforts by unions to help teachers hide the grooming from parents ... also criminal.

Some states seem to be pushing such law ... enforcement needs to happen, especially on those plotting to "circumvent" (break) the law against such child abuse.

I went ballistic, called the school, met with the principal and told him I wanted those surveys destroyed.

56 These secretive approaches that are driving a wedge between minors and their parents is a direct and inevitable evolution of the field of Adolescent Medicine, championed by the AAP and personified by Richard Levine.

In the 80's, Adolescent Medicine touted themselves as experts in the developmental stage between childhood and adulthood, and as such were uniquely positioned to stake a claim to this phase of development as guides for the adolescent patient. By incorporating the notion of emerging autonomy they began offering discussion and examination without the parent present, for issues such as sex, pregnancy prevention, STD's and drugs. This exclusion of the parents has grown into an ever-expanding wedge, used not only by physicians, but psychologists, counselors, teachers, and others. The purported justification for this is to protect these minors from their parents. Despicable and an obscene abrogation of their roles as "advocates for children"

88 Look at the demographics of each school district. Look at contractors, bids, contracts awarded. Time & time again, very likely the same contracted companies administer the kinds of tests to both parents/guardians & students.

"In a school district in Colorado, the teachers union is instructing teachers about how to destroy gender-bender "questionnaires" to hide their secret gender transitions of children."

JEFFCO Public Schools. Annual District Surveys - "During the spring semester of the 2022-23 school year PANORAMA (emphasis added) Education administered student (grades 6-12), family and staff feedback surveys. This new survey allows for Jeffco to make comparisons to national data.

The Panorama Student Survey (grades 3-5) was not administered during the 22-23 school year. Elementary schools were instead given the option to administer the Make Your Voice Heard survey for students in Grades 2-5."

Does anyone remember the NOISE just a few years ago Re: Panorama and its possible political connections?

Teachers unions, school boards, contractors, teachers.

96 Another point about Adolescent medicine doctors: Many if not most general Pediatricians are mainly interested in early childhood development and the diseases that affect infants and young children. Adolescence is by far the healthiest time of life. Sso Pediatricians are generally quite happy to defer the care of adolescents to someone else. (The same might be said of some parents.)

The training of Adolescent Medicine physicians emphasizes that they are on the side of the patient, which by definition puts them into an adversarial role vis-a-vis the parents rather than in a mediator role. This has resulted in a licentiousness that has infiltrated all aspects of teen life.

Paid directly to the parents. Until the kid's 21.

Because apparently they think they know better and have directly subsumed the role of parent(s). Own it. Or don't do it.

I don't know if it's progress or not, but generally there are so many people reviewing various endeavors, sometimes you don't have to watch whatever it is, just watch the critic doing his thing.

RLM did a review of the film, Cobweb, recently, and I do want to watch the film, which I had never heard of before. But about halfway through their video, they launched into spoilers, so I could have just watched that, but didn't.
