Two middle school teachers are suing their district and the California State Board of Education over a school policy they charge requires staff to conceal students’ gender identities from their parents.
Elizabeth Mirabelli, one of those educators, told CBN News she and other teachers fear this gender mandate at Rincon Middle School in Escondido drives a wedge between kids and their parents.
“We were told in meetings that we had to follow the policy strictly,” she said. “We were told to say certain things and we were told to withhold information from parents, and one teacher that works with me at my school asked a lot of questions about the policy. She spoke to her students about it, also questioning whether it was the right thing to do.”
