Email from a SKSD parent making comment so the district about transgender policy says it all.
I am in approval with the child abuse prevention awareness. I do, however, think it is ironic that you would support child abuse prevention, and yet, according to the new position of the district on trans student policy, dated March 31, 2022, tell your teachers (who are mandatory reporters) that they are not allowed to tell student’s parents anything about a student who is “transitioning” or “questioning their gender.” This flies in the face of anything moral and ethical, and will be the demise of the Salem-Keizer district; not to mention, it puts educators in an impossible position. Why would you knowingly make it harder for your teachers to do their jobs? An educator’s role is to guide and teach the student, to partner with parents to give a student the best possible education. You are undermining every bit of authority that belongs solely to parents, and are allowing a teacher (who potentially sees hundreds of students per day) to make a decision for a student (whose cognitive brain is not yet developed) based on that teacher’s own thoughts and beliefs, without consulting the student’s parent. I am outraged! Not only that, but, you have put female athletes in a very difficult position. They now have to compete against any biological male who “identifies” as a female, regardless of their strength and ability. Not only do biological females now have to compete against biological males and all that entails, but they are required to allow their presence in the locker rooms. THIS IS UNSAFE. This allows anyone who “identifies” as a female to enter a girls locker room and opens the door for assault and abuse. This is NOT okay, and it should not be allowed to continue in Salem-Keizer. For the safety of our children, I implore you to remove this policy and practice from our district immediately!
