My kids have all gone to this school. My youngest is there now. Caldeira has been pushing this stuff since her own daughter transitioned to a male during the years my oldest two were there. Since then this is her main focus…all of my kids have been subjected to it in some way or another in her classroom.

The mothers who "transitioned" their daughters to male (like that's possible) will be the last to let go of promoting this. To do so such a mother would have to admit to herself that she's hurt her child. It's like these moms are trying to convince themselves the cult religion is true. In reality we've historically had a very small number of men with one of two psychological problems dividing into straight (autogynephilia) and gay (androphilic) subcategories. It's thought that a small minority of those people may benefit from medical procedures.
I think so, too. I'm no psychologist either, but there's also something up with our education establishment. How can "use your pronouns" have gained so much traction? How have our teachers been allowed to stray from teaching basic subjects? How are the unions able to do anything more than negotiate salary? What happened to respecting the values of the family? Why do we allow Gender Ideology in the schools which do not allow other religion?
I think you hit the nail on the head...why are school teachers teaching our children about SEX and SEXUAL ORIENTATION...they might as well teach kids to be atheist and than they can recruit them into Antifa.
Echoes of CEO of mermaids in the UK who took her son to Thailand to be castrated for his 16th birthday because it was illegal in UK. She now advocates affirming any child who is gender non conforming. I note the 3 kids helping her were non binary or very gender fluid, no mention of gay or lesbian
A definition of narcissism is the wish to make the real world conform to one’s fantasy. This is what Trans activists are engaged in whether they know it or not. It’s the most depraved form of narcissism that reaches for other people’s children. It will not end well for them.
I feel for her. She likely knows in her heart that she's done something horrible to her daughter and regrets it, but she can't admit it. LovingMother is right, the parents who transitioned their kids will be the last holdouts when the trans insanity comes to an end.
However, none of that excuses her behavior in the classroom. If she were covertly recruiting Muslim students for a closet, unsanctioned Christian club against their parents wishes, her district would find a way to discipline her. They may not be able to fire her, but there are lots of ways a district can make your life so miserable that you eventually quit. the fact that the school board and superintendent aren't doing those things means 1) they're supporters, or 2) they're cowards.
...they're killing themselves because they're extremely mentally ill. They have severe mental problems. Not because they were "born in the wrong body" and their parents said they were wrong.
The cognitive dissonance with you people is stunning.
The suicide rate is massive and far outpaces that of gays and lesbians, which by your measure should be killing themselves at basically the same rate "due to their parents telling them they are sinners". But that's not the case, is it?
You idiots can't reconcile the following:
A. When faced with an individual who wants to have their arms amputated because they were "born in the wrong body" and are convinced they should've been born with no arms (something called "body integrity disorder"), your answer is, of course, that they have a mental illness (because, well, they do.) But...
B. When faced with a child that wants to chop their DICK OR BREASTS off because they're convinced they were "born in the wrong body", well...that's perfectly normal. Nothing wrong there.
I will never ever stop fighting hateful bigots that cause kids to hate themselves and sometimes commit suicide due to not being able to be what their parents want them to be. LGB teens have it a bit easier today than when I was a gay teen and had parents who would have beat me than kicked me out if they knew. Trans people today face the hate and bigotry I faced as a teen, due to HATEFUL BIGOTS LIKE YOU. And your analogy is asinine. There are many of us who grew up in hate that will never stop fighting to protect LGBTQ kids, and you need to learn to accept others who are not like you. Or end up being known as a hateful bigot
Proud Democrat, something you said here is hard for me to understand. Each of our bodies is an incredible gift. The joys that can only be experienced by an embodied human are too many to list, but they include nearly all of the experiences that make us feel deeply seen and loved. Each body is totally unique, never before seen in the billions who have lived throughout human history, and carries within it functions and connections that we can barely comprehend. These things are true whether you are female or male, handicapped or whole, and are unrelated to personality and preference.
You are part of a crowd telling children they are in the “wrong” body, and that they should drug and chop parts of themselves off to make it right. Many of us, regardless of politics, want children to cherish their bodies as a gift.
You started off so nice and sane, then you go and accuse me of attempting to force or convince teens that they are in the wro9ng body. That is a total lie, I have never, EVER suggested to a teen that they might look into that gay or trans option! What a horrible thing to accuse one of.
And you talk about those who truly DO feel they are born in the wrong body by talking about them as if they are not even human. SHAME ON YOU!
Ben, it sounds like you have some sort of anger problem when you respond to a person with words like that - words you would probably call "violent" if they were used against you.
Perhaps you need to lower your testosterone dose and/or go to anger management therapy. Clearly you have a problem when all you can do is spew your impotent rage at someone whose only transgression was to voice his opinion.
Don’t be a tough guy online Mr. Bottom Surgery. Nobody needs to bend to the whims of the one transformer in the entire school. We need to stop indulging people like you in your mental illness.
I have nothing wrong with trans people in fact I have always supported equal rights with LGTBQ communities and have experimented myself....with that said there is an AGE where children do not understand themselves and they don't need to be indoctrinated by ANYONE! ESPECIALLY not untrained teachers! They don't need to be called straight, gay, trans pan, they are just kids...let them be kids. The whole sexual orientation talk needs to be put off until older teen/adulthood. Let's just normalize that people of different sexes can have feelings for each other in middle school...in high school more can be talked about but we still need to discourage sex! News flash you CANNOT KNOW your true sexual identify until you can actually have sex, everything to that point is just experimentation. Experimentation is normal but we NEED to back off this rush to label because the truth is sexuality is very, very fluid especially in young adults and teens! Some choices (by trans/pan etc) can have permanent consequences don't you think we should put this off just like we put off the choice to drink/smoke/join the military to the age of 18? I am just asking that we put this stuff off a little bit longer. Over-seuxalition is a theme of the 21st/22nd Century...children are even going through puberty sooner and the push to sexualize children at a younger age could have detrimental affects.
Please find a more mature and cogent way to express your opinion. In doing so, you will likely find an opportunity to actually dialogue with folks whose opinions differ from yours.
This is just awful! Pushing and brainwashing children is not educating them. Reading and stalking their Google searches...this is against the law. I would say GOODBYE TENURE!
My daughter had both teachers and the year she had them, I noticed certain changes. I didn’t know her daughter had transitioned to a male! This certainly explains a lot. My daughter and at least one other were clearly influenced by her.
Please refrain from stopping to the level of judging the said parent’s love for her child; using profanity and name does not buttress your viewpoint. Rather, it serves to alienate others and prevents an opportunity for meaningful dialogue.
Aw.....your kids forced to learn there are all sorts of people in the world. I bet you also refuse your kids learn about slavery, since it might hurt their fee fees
You obviously know nothing about this since your children did not attend this school. Mine did. I can post the 1000s of emails to the school if you think we are just talking about hurt feelings. It's not about the club, or the teaching when it was taught as it's supposed to be taught. It's about the subversive tactics and the outright defiance and negligent reaction to the parents asking, demanding answers for years. And it was wrong and hurt many families and students at this school. My kids were also discriminated against in classes by these teachers because they could tell their mom was onto them. I have proof to that by the way. Hey, Proud Democrat, do you support public school teacher's spying on children into their parent's home computers through Google? Using your tax dollars to do what appears criminal behavior? That a federal offense, last I checked through means of wire. And those teachers blatantly admitted tot it at a CTA conference that audio tapes they session for all participants and members to buy at cost later? They also requested other California teachers to follow their behavior at that conference. That being said, that's called indoctrination - like Hitler, Mao, etc. sounds like you support that? I would say you should check with all the students harmed by these teachers - not just the LGBTQ ones. Hmmm.
Oy vey, GMAFB. I am SO SICK and tired of all the anti LGBTQ people like yourself. I am older, and went through hell as a teen due to hateful parents and teachers and I will fight like hell to protect the kids today to be who they are and not be subject to discrimination and hate from the likes of you
Ok. So how will you protect my kids from discrimination they encountered. Please fill me in. You said you would fight like hell. Keep your comments coming they are great evidence in the future lawsuit aimed at the district.
I will elect people who will REFUSE TO BAN BOOKS refuse to deny all students the ability to do sports, or join clubs if they want to. I will make sure all the bigoted laws you guys propose fail. I have nothing to do with this school or lawsuit, you are a desperate bigot who needs to get YOUR OWN LIFE and let others live theirs.
Ah, but you and your cohorts aren't letting people, especially children, live their own lives, are you? You're propagandizing them to do what they don't really want, just because it's fashionable.
So you are not one of those bigots who are also racist and insist if teachers teach about racism in the US your kids will feel bad? I don't believe it. If a teen wants to be called with a certain pronoun how the hell does that hurt you?
YOU CANNOT MAKE ANYONE LGBTQ. You either are or you are not, this is not an option. Most people experiment, not all, but many, and that does not make them gay.
Is it SO HARD to call a person the way they wish to be addressed? Who the hell are you to tell anyone who they are?
Are you suggesting that these teachers are training their students to be LGBTQ? Or are you suggesting forced labor is an option? LOL And forced labor? Are you a Daughter of The Confederacy? That would explain your inability to use word slavery.
You cannot make ppl LGB, that is true. But Trans is not LGB. And LGB doesn’t require ppl to take cross sex hormones and get surgeries. Nor does LGB require novel pronouns that push people to deny biological reality.
And you cannot make someone decide they were born in the wrong body, that is a very hard thing to go through and due to BIGOTS like you who hate on those who do feel that way you make their lives miserable.
You just cannot mind your own damned business, and let others live their best lives. Instead you push to keep kids from BEING ABLE TO GO TO GO TO THE BATHROOM and keep kids from PLAYING SPORTS and use them for your sick political games and religious hangups. GET THE HELL OVER IT AND LEAVE THESE KIDS ALONE.
I speak facts and logic. It’s helpful to not get into emotional name calling…it doesn’t do anything except make people disregard any points you might really want to make. We all want the same thing..safe healthy learning environment for our kids. Let’s talk about the facts and work on a solution.
Ok. Great. Thank you. Let’s talk about this. First of all these teachers are not licensed, educated, or equipped to be encouraging or inviting any of these kids to transition…and that is what has been going on…do you agree? A child who at this young age is looking to transition should be cared for and counseled by a doctor ( the irreversible affect of adding hormones) a mental health physician ( the emotional side of such a transition at such a young age) and with parents’ full knowledge. None of this criteria exists at BV. For children who are or have transitioned I would hope our school is a safe, healthy learning environment that is welcoming and inclusive. The problem for me ( and I think most parents) is with these two teachers seeking out through snooping on google and evesdropping on kids who have questions or are searching and inviting them into this very pro trans environment. These are young impressionable kids and for the most part they may not have any idea what they are really engaging in. It’s one thing, and a wonderful thing to create an environment of inclusion and kindness but it’s another, and dangerous as well as criminal to promote snd entice these kids into uncharted territory where there is no turning back and no parental or other mental/ medical support system. Please tell me your thoughts and where I am wrong :)
I don't think you know what transition actually means for kids. What, specifically, are the irreversible effects of the hormones you're referring to? And what hormones specifically are you referring to? Because the only hormones that trans kids can take for transitioning are puberty blockers. Puberty blockers are completely reversible, cisgender kids are prescribed puberty blockers when they get puberty too early and can come off it at any time. So what exactly are you referring to?
In March 2021, Sweden's Karolinska Hospital, one of the world's top medical teaching institutes, announced: Puberty blocking "treatments are...fraught with extensive and irreversible adverse consequences such as cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, infertility, increased cancer risk, and thrombosis. In light of the above, [such treatments] will not be initiated in gender dysphoric patients under the age of 16."
So I would ask these questions. Do you know that they aren't licensed, educated or equipped? Have you seen their list of education certificates and qualifications? Are they inviting kids to transition? Where does it say that? Or what student has made that claim? Or are they creating an environment where kids can speak freely and ask questions?
I agree that doctors and mental health professionals along with families should be the first line of conversation. But what happens if families are unwilling to listen or provide messages of hate that make students feel badly about themselves and even more confused. The suicide attempt rates for transgender teens is close to 50%.
Have you asked your school what their inclusion and safety practices are for LGBT youth? Do they have a gender neutral restrooms where students can go if they need to use a facility? What about locker rooms and changing facilities?
I don't think it's wise to assume that the article's assertion of snooping and stalking kids is some nefarious plot. All schools were on distance learning last year...don't you think it's possible that teachers, in the normal course of their monitoring student academics, would see such searches and conversations without resorting to "spying." I would agree the use of the word "stalking" is highly unfortunate. But presentations are often made for engagement and entertainment value...so language choices are often made for a friendly audience. Taken out of context they seem worse than they were intended.
As a parent of a kids at that school, do you see evidence of enticements? What would those be? Is it possible that the kids are just looking to hang out with other kids who are like them?
Have you attended one of their meetings? Do you know what actually happens there? Have you asked them? Have you asked the teachers who run the program what happens in the room? Or are you basing ALL of your assumptions on this one article which is written with the intention to cause controversy? Do you really think it is possible for two teachers at a public school to persuade students to become transgender and then also provide them the medicines to do that?
I think you are 100% correct to care about kids having welcoming and inclusive spaces. Are you doing anything at your kids school to help with that?
Kaela - they are not licensed. I have asked the school countless times to bring in professionals. I gave them names, I gave them numbers. For perspective - this is a school with only 300 students.
Acted as in invited them to a club that they are not required to attend? If they saw a student searching up painting and invited them to an art program would that also be an aggregrious move?
Ok. These are all thoughtful and valid questions and I absolutely do not have answers to all of them. But I appreciate the opportunity to dive a little deeper and think about all of the topics you’ve brought up. Let me get back to you. But in the meantime what I will say is that as far as what have I done to promote inclusion and kindness for my kids and at my kids school is that I have always tried to role model to my kids and the many kids whose classes I have subbed in over the last 20 years…
the power of kindness and asking questions instead of name calling. Our children watch us and they absorb our attitudes and emotions…calling someone a liar doesn’t help anything but extending your knowledge and experience in a respectful way without volatile emotions getting in the way is such great role modeling for raising kind open minded humans. Thank you for the opportunity to just talk back and forth. I’m going to explore the things your questions brought up…and I will reach back out:).
No research is needed for me. You know the deal as well as me. It's been a long time coming. They were warned so many times, the principal and the superintendent and the board - they acted like they were innocent. It's not just this topic mind you. This school is in hot water for bullying, harassment, violations of special education, etc.
I assume you are local and maybe even have kids at BV. If you would like to grab a cup of coffee and continue our great discussion…I would love that. Let me know.
BV Mom - I am not local but I am a teacher in California. I hate to see what is happening to education these days. So much controversy and our kids pay the price.
But I have also experienced a share of upset parents over information that is not correct and needed to be clarified. So I am wary when news like this comes out. It's scary stuff and not always accurate or fair. My take on this is poor judgement in terms of word choice that was then taken out of context.
I think the allegations in this article seem unlikely when you look at the realities of time/location/resources in public schools. The words in the article simply don't match the realities on campus...in my experience which is limited to my school district. I am happy to keep chatting here though.
I think open two way dialogue is the only way we serve our communities best.
This article deals with an extracurricular club and says nothing of content teaching and classroom practices. According to the article, she is an award winning teacher.
My kids have all gone to this school. My youngest is there now. Caldeira has been pushing this stuff since her own daughter transitioned to a male during the years my oldest two were there. Since then this is her main focus…all of my kids have been subjected to it in some way or another in her classroom.

I think so, too. I'm no psychologist either, but there's also something up with our education establishment. How can "use your pronouns" have gained so much traction?

So that’s what happened! Her kid transitioned and now she has to deal with her trauma by perpetuating the insanity. That’s very sick.
No, she is doing what her son needs, you are a hateful bigot who would rather than kid died than have to accept he is not like you.
The suicide rate for transitioned "transgenders" is much higher than that of gays.
They can be denied a job, housing, even medical care in many states. How the hell would you feel? (Don't bother answering, you have no heart)
This is just awful! Pushing and brainwashing children is not educating them. Reading and stalking their Google searches...this is against the law. I would say GOODBYE TENURE!

You just cannot mind your own damned business, and let others live their best lives. Instead you push to keep kids from BEING ABLE TO GO TO GO TO THE BATHROOM and keep kids from PLAYING SPORTS and use them for your sick political games and religious hangups. GET THE HELL OVER IT AND LEAVE THESE KIDS ALONE.
Anyone who hates their own body has a bigger problem than just a (possibly passing) phase of "gender dysphoria".
Ignorant comment
Nope, that's what "Trans Activists" have repeatedly revealed.
LOL. Soundsl ike your kids are subjected to your main focus - idiocracy and poor parenting.
I speak facts and logic. It’s helpful to not get into emotional name calling…it doesn’t do anything except make people disregard any points you might really want to make. We all want the same thing..safe healthy learning environment for our kids. Let’s talk about the facts and work on a solution.
That’s hard to swallow when the district and principal were told about this for years.
So what facts and logic are you speaking? How would you create a safe healthy learning environment for LGBT kids?
Ok. Great. Thank you. Let’s talk about this. First of all these teachers are not licensed, educated, or equipped to be encouraging or inviting any of these kids to transition…and that is what has been going on…do you agree? A child who at this young age is looking to transition should be cared for and counseled by a doctor ( the irreversible affect of adding hormones) a mental health physician ( the emotional side of such a transition at such a young age) and with parents’ full knowledge. None of this criteria exists at BV. For children who are or have transitioned I would hope our school is a safe, healthy learning environment that is welcoming and inclusive. The problem for me ( and I think most parents) is with these two teachers seeking out through snooping on google and evesdropping on kids who have questions or are searching and inviting them into this very pro trans environment. These are young impressionable kids and for the most part they may not have any idea what they are really engaging in. It’s one thing, and a wonderful thing to create an environment of inclusion and kindness but it’s another, and dangerous as well as criminal to promote snd entice these kids into uncharted territory where there is no turning back and no parental or other mental/ medical support system. Please tell me your thoughts and where I am wrong :)
The district knew and so did the principal.
I don't think you know what transition actually means for kids. What, specifically, are the irreversible effects of the hormones you're referring to? And what hormones specifically are you referring to? Because the only hormones that trans kids can take for transitioning are puberty blockers. Puberty blockers are completely reversible, cisgender kids are prescribed puberty blockers when they get puberty too early and can come off it at any time. So what exactly are you referring to?
In March 2021, Sweden's Karolinska Hospital, one of the world's top medical teaching institutes, announced: Puberty blocking "treatments are...fraught with extensive and irreversible adverse consequences such as cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, infertility, increased cancer risk, and thrombosis. In light of the above, [such treatments] will not be initiated in gender dysphoric patients under the age of 16."
So I would ask these questions. Do you know that they aren't licensed, educated or equipped? Have you seen their list of education certificates and qualifications? Are they inviting kids to transition? Where does it say that? Or what student has made that claim? Or are they creating an environment where kids can speak freely and ask questions?
I agree that doctors and mental health professionals along with families should be the first line of conversation. But what happens if families are unwilling to listen or provide messages of hate that make students feel badly about themselves and even more confused. The suicide attempt rates for transgender teens is close to 50%.
Have you asked your school what their inclusion and safety practices are for LGBT youth? Do they have a gender neutral restrooms where students can go if they need to use a facility? What about locker rooms and changing facilities?
I don't think it's wise to assume that the article's assertion of snooping and stalking kids is some nefarious plot. All schools were on distance learning last year...don't you think it's possible that teachers, in the normal course of their monitoring student academics, would see such searches and conversations without resorting to "spying." I would agree the use of the word "stalking" is highly unfortunate. But presentations are often made for engagement and entertainment value...so language choices are often made for a friendly audience. Taken out of context they seem worse than they were intended.
As a parent of a kids at that school, do you see evidence of enticements? What would those be? Is it possible that the kids are just looking to hang out with other kids who are like them?
Have you attended one of their meetings? Do you know what actually happens there? Have you asked them? Have you asked the teachers who run the program what happens in the room? Or are you basing ALL of your assumptions on this one article which is written with the intention to cause controversy? Do you really think it is possible for two teachers at a public school to persuade students to become transgender and then also provide them the medicines to do that?
I think you are 100% correct to care about kids having welcoming and inclusive spaces. Are you doing anything at your kids school to help with that?
Kaela - they are not licensed. I have asked the school countless times to bring in professionals. I gave them names, I gave them numbers. For perspective - this is a school with only 300 students.
It was a plot. They said so.
Kaela - are you kidding? Its not that they saw the searches, its that they acted on them. Thats criminal and federally protected privacy.
Acted as in invited them to a club that they are not required to attend? If they saw a student searching up painting and invited them to an art program would that also be an aggregrious move?
You are not allowed to track a minors internet activity under COPPA. It’s a federal crime.
Noticing an online event and tracking are two different ideas.
Absolutely not. I taught privacy and IP law. Not true. They cannot track and act on searches outside of school. Period.
Ok. These are all thoughtful and valid questions and I absolutely do not have answers to all of them. But I appreciate the opportunity to dive a little deeper and think about all of the topics you’ve brought up. Let me get back to you. But in the meantime what I will say is that as far as what have I done to promote inclusion and kindness for my kids and at my kids school is that I have always tried to role model to my kids and the many kids whose classes I have subbed in over the last 20 years…
the power of kindness and asking questions instead of name calling. Our children watch us and they absorb our attitudes and emotions…calling someone a liar doesn’t help anything but extending your knowledge and experience in a respectful way without volatile emotions getting in the way is such great role modeling for raising kind open minded humans. Thank you for the opportunity to just talk back and forth. I’m going to explore the things your questions brought up…and I will reach back out:).
No research is needed for me. You know the deal as well as me. It's been a long time coming. They were warned so many times, the principal and the superintendent and the board - they acted like they were innocent. It's not just this topic mind you. This school is in hot water for bullying, harassment, violations of special education, etc.
I appreciate your thoughtful response. Thank you.
I assume you are local and maybe even have kids at BV. If you would like to grab a cup of coffee and continue our great discussion…I would love that. Let me know.
BV Mom - I am not local but I am a teacher in California. I hate to see what is happening to education these days. So much controversy and our kids pay the price.
But I have also experienced a share of upset parents over information that is not correct and needed to be clarified. So I am wary when news like this comes out. It's scary stuff and not always accurate or fair. My take on this is poor judgement in terms of word choice that was then taken out of context.
I think the allegations in this article seem unlikely when you look at the realities of time/location/resources in public schools. The words in the article simply don't match the realities on campus...in my experience which is limited to my school district. I am happy to keep chatting here though.
I think open two way dialogue is the only way we serve our communities best.
Yup. No the school knew.
Wrong. More coming as to the harassment endured by these two teachers.

This article deals with an extracurricular club and says nothing of content teaching and classroom practices. According to the article, she is an award winning teacher.
No. She was allowed full rein to do what she wanted to the detriment of children.
No. She ran assemblies that were focused on LGBTQ. And they showed videos in class too.
