A California elementary school teacher, who identifies as nonbinary and uses gender neutral pronouns, is facing the wrath of parents for teaching transgender ideology to four-year-olds. The teacher also told little boys that it was okay for them to wear dresses.
Parents told school board members that the teacher, assigned to Dilworth Elementary School, had LGBT books and posters in the classroom, instructed the four-year-olds about gender identity and expression, and taught them about pronouns like “ze and tree,” The Times-Herald reports.
“They’re less than 5-years-old,” parent Qina Sa said at the board meeting. “At this young age, children are still developing their fundamental language skills and cognitive abilities. Introducing such advanced gender fluidity concepts could create confusion rather than helping them learn.”

One parent told NBC Bay Area she felt the teacher went too far and that 4-year-olds are not ready for advanced discussions about gender topics.
“We believe the content in the poster and conversations between the teacher and the young students is not age-appropriate,” the parent said.
The school district’s teachers union defended the teacher, as did several other teachers, the newspaper reported.
The school district reportedly said the materials presented to the children were inappropriate and the teacher has been placed on leave.
“I want to affirm our unwavering commitment to creating and maintaining an inclusive and equitable environment for both our students and staff,” Supt. Stacy Yao said. “Through our adopted Board policies, we support that no employee shall face discrimination or harassment of any kind upon persons because of their race, ethnicity, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity or expression, disability, religion, or association with individuals belonging to any of these groups, or any other basis prohibited by law. Our dedication to these values extends to ensuring that every individual feels safe, respected, and supported in their work environment, free from any form of intimidation or harassment.”
Who thinks it’s okay to tell a four-year-old that he can identify as a tree?
