A Pennsylvania school district will keep parents in the dark when it invites children to declare a “gender” that is different from their sex.
Greater Johnstown School District in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, created a “gender transition plan” and a “gender support plan” for students. Neither plan requires consent or involvement from parents.
The gender transition plan features a section called “Parent/Guardian Involvement.” It asks, “Are guardian(s) of this student aware and supportive of their child’s gender transition?” It goes on to inquire, “If not, what considerations must be accounted for by implementing this plan?”
The district also has a “Gender Expansive and Transgender Students Policy,” which states the school should keep students’ gender identity information secret from their parents. It reads, “School personnel should not disclose information that may reveal a student’s gender expansive or transgender status presentation to others, including the student’s parents/guardians.”
In order to keep students’ gender identity secret, school personnel are instructed to “use the student’s legal name and the pronoun corresponding to the student’s gender assigned at birth” when contacting a student’s parent or guardian.
The policy also lists a number of alternative pronouns, including “they” and “them,” as well as “ze” and “hir” and “ey” and “em.”
In addition, the policy also defines “Authentic Gender Identity” as an exclusive commitment to either a male or female gender identity asserted across multiple settings from the time when a person begins to live as the gender with which they identify rather than the gender they were assigned at birth.”
Meanwhile, the policy also defines “gender expansive” as “a term that conveys a wider, more flexible range of gender identity and/or expression than typically associated with the binary gender system. Gender expansive is not synonymous with transgender; not all gender expansive individuals identify as transgender.”

PA ping...
This is Josh Shapiro’s Pennsylvania and I’m not Joshing you.
Schools no longer teach they Groom
New litmus test for school board members: "do you believe children are the property of the State"?
Every “gender studies” program at every public university/college in the USA should be de-funded immediately.
Pennsylvania gets everything they deserve.
Lawsuits?
Lawsuits?
It gives me no pleasure to state that the United States, a nation that I voluntarily served for four years, in uniform, is flushing itself down the toilet.
If you have children in those liberal pulik skool RATholes, get them out! Get them the hell out now before it’s too late!!! They are your kids, they don’t belong to the government.
why do the schools even have a say in this kind of crap...
Teachers teach...
Doctors doctor...
Psychologists ...get the heck out of my kids head.
Then the nation deserves the POTATUS.
Beatings. Lots and lots of beatings.

I’m at a loss for words. If any of my ten grandchildren were affected by this $hit.......
What does a school, ANY SCHOOL, even have a ‘GENDER TRANSITION PLAN’ in the first place?................
So this is the way this old sailor sees what is going on here. It appears that PA is now codifying into policy the idea that lying to parents of school children through omission is Constitutional and acceptable. I was born in Scranton and have relatives all over PA. I don’t care if you lean left or right, the abuse of power we are seeing in Government is astounding! The power of government is given by the people but like Edmund Burke said “freedom dies when good men do nothing”. We saw a classic example of that when PA elected an establishment hand puppet for Senate. The Pennsylvanians somehow failed to notice a stroke, brain damage and a the absurd platform he ran under. I doubt any of them have read Edmund Burke…..
Its a new American woke totalitarianism.
China and Russia are totalitarian states too, but their’s is old-school - ie) don’t oppose the ruling party, and you’ll basically be OK. You can even protest things outside of that.
Here in the USA, we are still finding our way through (neo) Marxism, so one can’t know which state-run organ will come out with what kind of bizarre policy. Its chaos.
Kids will solve this problem.
Great! Now woke Pennsylvania parents won't have to bother with helping to groom and get their children sex changes. The Pennsylvania school system will take care of it for them.
