An Education Department investigation has found that California violated parental rights law by pressuring schools to hide children’s sex changes from their parents.

Gavin Newsom’s government “created state-directed pressure for schools to violate FERPA by concealing student records about a child’s so-called gender transition from a child’s parents,” a department official said. “Children do not belong to the state. They belong to their parents. Parents must know about the most sensitive information pertaining to their child’s health and well-being.”

The investigation uncovered a systemic problem of schools maintaining secret records and claiming that they were not part of a student’s cumulative record. At least 300 children wound up on “Gender Support Plans” to hide their new “gender identities” from their parents. 

Even if you’re fervently pro-trans, how is this possibly defensible? Kids get free rein once they turn 18, but their parents remain their legal guardians until then. The government encouraging educators to leave Mom and Dad in the dark when their children move toward mutilating themselves is a dereliction of duty, to put it mildly. Evil might not be a stretch.
