Thank you all for your comments. I want to respond to the many people who responded that a federal statute that made it unlawful for public schools to change names and gender identities without parental permission - would not fix our public schools. I agree! I believe, as many of you do, that the public schools are infested with Woke ideologies and that sometimes, when an institution is sufficiently corrupt or infested, you simply can't continue to use it until it is evacuated, tented, and bombed with pesticide. I don't propose it because I believe it will 'fix' the public schools. I propose it because it is a first step in empowering the parents to discover the extent of the problem - and to push back against it. I propose the statute because it will empower the good teachers already at schools (and there are many) who are right now silent, fearful for their jobs. And it will hand the Woke - who are very much on the march - a defeat. We need to start handing them losses. And we need to embolden and empower the good guys. Thank you, again, for engaging. I'm so grateful for all of you. xo

Perhaps a bit of perspective here ... A most relevant but (conveniently for the woke) undiscussed issue is that 5 year olds are not allowed to vote, drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes, drive a car, move out of the house, opt out of school, get a job at the grocery store, etc., yet somehow they are now allowed to choose their gender and pronouns and hide it from their parents??? Parents are the legal and moral guardians of their children and this must be remembered and respected.
