AP Photo/Ted S. Warren, File In Washington state, the government’s trying to protect children — from their parents.
Such is the case where intimate information is concerned.
As reported by The Daily Wire , the state is ordering teachers to hide students’ gender transitions from their parents unless the child says it’s okay to tell.
The Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction boasts a webpage devoted to “gender-inclusive schools.”
“Gender identity and gender expression,” the site says, “are protected classes under Washington state law, which means schools cannot discriminate against students based on their gender identity or gender expression.” All students have the right to be treated consistently with their gender identity at school and express their gender at school… What does that entail?
Where discourse is concerned, “Students have the right to be addressed by their requested name, pronoun (e.g., he/him, she/her, they/them, etc.), and gender designation.”
Additional allowances: Restrooms. Public schools must allow students to use the restroom that corresponds to their gender identity. Any student—transgender or not—who requests greater privacy for any reason should be given access to an alternative restroom, such as a staff restroom or health office restroom, if one is available. However, school staff cannot require a student to use an alternative restroom because of their transgender or gender diverse status.
Locker Rooms. Public schools should provide access to the locker room that corresponds to a student’s gender identity. Public schools may provide a separate changing schedule or use of a private area, such as a nearby restroom stall with a door or an area separated by a curtain, to any student-transgender or not-who voluntarily seek additional privacy.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
