“Are the guardian of this student aware and supportive of their child’s gender transition?” the district’s “gender support plan for students” asks. “Who will be the student’s ‘go to’ adult at school?” “If family doesn’t support them, LGBTQ+ students are 8 to 10 times more likely to die by suicide than other teens,” the training says. “The lack of using pronouns could lead to death. We are here to support and educate students, not to judge them or push them over the proverbial edge.”
