Democrats’ deranged gender ideology views parents as dangerous

The rot of gender ideology has destroyed the brains of Democratic politicians, many of whom now think it is their sacred duty to cut parents out of the lives of their children.

This debate stems from the examples of school districts failing (or, more accurately, refusing) to disclose to parents that their children are adopting different identities at school in order to become transgender. This results in schools actively trying to hide these attempted gender transitions, and other mental health issues that come with them, from the parents of the children who are affected. One student in Florida attempted to kill herself twice before the school bothered to notify her parents.

TRUTH IS THE FIRST CASUALTY OF LIBERAL MEDIA’S WAR ON DESANTIS

This is exactly how it should be, according to several Democrats, including Gov. Phil Murphy (D-NJ). You see, Murphy’s concern is not that children battling mental health issues get the help and assistance of the parents who raised them and know them better than teachers or bureaucrats. No, Murphy’s concern is with schools “outing” these children to their parents, because he thinks that if a child is adopting a transgender identity at school, it is because his or her parents are evil transphobes who would in some way abuse their children for being “transgender.”

You do not need to take it from me. Here are his words about hiding school gender transitions from parents: “It’s the right thing to do to protect these precious young people. This is a complete culture war.” In fact, Murphy’s administration has repeatedly sued school districts that adopt policies to inform parents about their children trying to transition at school.

Similarly, New Jersey Attorney General Matt Platkin has said that telling parents that their children are struggling with their mental health and identity poses “serious mental health risks” and threatens “physical harm to students.”

Murphy and Platkin, and Democrats who are pursuing an agenda like theirs, view parents as the enemy or as an obstacle. Instead, they think that teachers and school administrators who have barely known children for a fraction of their lives should be aiding them in secret identity swaps away from their parents and hiding that from, or lying to, those parents in the process. It is utterly deranged, and not something that these Democrats would accept if it was happening to their own children, and yet it is becoming a sacred tenet of the Democratic Party.

Every Democratic governor should be asked if they, like Murphy, think parents are a threat to their children and should not be informed about their children’s mental health struggles. No matter how Murphy or any other Democratic governor dances around the question, that is what they are effectively arguing. They should be forced to acknowledge that fact.
