‘Parents’ rights are under attack’: Fury as New York schools are told to keep children’s gender identities secret from families: New guidance also calls to end PE gender separation so ‘LGBTQ pupils aren’t marginalized’
- New York State Education Department told teachers to keep students’ gender identities secret from families if ‘they deem it necessary’ under new guidance
Parents have been left furious after schools in New York were told to keep their children’s gender identities secret from their families under new guidance.
The New York State Education Department released 42 pages of new guidance last week which told schools to ‘keep information’ about a child’s gender identity ‘from families if they deem it necessary’.
The report also calls for schools to end the practice of separating boys and girls during physical education as it ‘marginalizes’ transgender and ‘gender expansive’ students and marks them as ‘others’.
