Titled as such to more easily find and consolidate these topics.
Co-worker just texted me to say her husband wants to take her kid out of their school. In 5th grade, the book they are now reading is "Too Bright to See." A description:
A middle-graded novel by Kyle Lukoff abvout an 11-year-old, transgender boy named Bug who is dealing with grief, ghost hauntings, and the confusion of his own gender identity as he prepares to start middle school. The story follows Bug as he investigates strange occurrences in his old Vermont house after his drag queen uncle's death, and simultaneously comes to terms with his own identity.

So what's your problem with the assignment? I'm not asking to be combative, but I'm asking for clarity exactly where the problem lies, in your opinion.
Personally, I don't think the push to normalize gender confusion is a good thing, and especially not with pre-pubescent kids. But even if you do think it is OK, a hell of a lot of people in the media and some on the board gaslit about these types of books being taught in schools.Co-worker just texted me to say her husband wants to take her kid out of their school.

The public school indoctrination of children that gender and/or sex are fluid, that you can change your gender and/or sex, and that there is nothing wrong with that.the push to normalize gender confusion
What do you mean by this?
I think it's all contested and there is no need for young kids to be taught this in schools.

Just to be clear, are you opposed to schools teaching that gender fluidity is okay? Or are you opposed to them mentioning simply that it exists? I am unfamiliar with the book in question.
No need for gender fluidity to be taught at all--they shouldn't teach it is good or bad. If a kid is gender confused, that child should see a therapist.The public school indoctrination of children that gender and/or sex are fluid, that you can change your gender and/or sex, and that there is nothing wrong with that.the push to normalize gender confusion

I also don't think kids need to read about anorexia, Munchausen Syndrome, etc. in elementary school. It's not the time or place.
The solution is clearly year round school.
