Fox News recently ran an op ed that said the Eau Claire School District might be the worst violator of parental rights yet. Three candidates for the Eau Claire school board exposed a teacher-training presentation that proclaimed quote "[f]acilitators, guide this discussion [about sexual and gender identity]. Remember, parents are not entitled to know their kids’ identities. That knowledge must be earned." End quote. Unbelievably both the superintendent and the school board president fully defended the training.

This training also included telling school facilitators that the objections of parents who have religious issues with gender transition are “the weaponization of religion against queer people.” Unfortunately, this isn’t happening just in Eau Claire; similar training is in many districts across the state. Fortunately, voters can have a say on such issues by the candidates they vote for on April 5.
