[Education] The school takeover...

BEWARE: Schools actively working to exclude parents...

Time to start writing! Some of you know I advocate for special needs kids. What I am seeing is shocking — and it’s not limited to special needs. There is an obvious shift in school behavior and agenda from even a year ago. Mind you, I live in the communist state of CA with extreme anti-parent laws… but still…

Counselors convincing students all their problems are “the wrong gender”

This week I was sitting in an “IEP meeting” for a special needs student. The school was discussing counseling goals. Now, this is a student the school persuaded the wrong gender is the problem, and changing genders would solve all her problems.

Because, you know - all depression MUST be due to being the wrong gender! At least she decided not to take the available hormone blockers…

It’s very concerning this is the first place schools are going. At least in CA… but this is part of the CDC agenda. More on that later…

Secret name changes… and the red tape

So this student changed her mind, and wants to change her name back to a female name. The school won’t do it until they have a secret “Transition meeting” — of course without the parent.

It’s totally weird to be sitting in a meeting referring to a “she” as “they” because the student wants HER name changed back to a female name—& thus far for 3 months, the school hasn’t bothered to hold this special secret meeting.

I reminded the school what they did was never a legal name change to begin with so this needs to get immediately fixed. Her name is now wrong on official education documents. What’s the hold up? (No answer…)

No, it’s not “HIPPA Data”… get your laws straight - the tables have turned

A school “IEP” discusses school provided services. Sometimes as in this case, that includes counseling. The Assistant Principal running the meeting stated they “cannot tell the parent what is discussed with the counselor as it’s ‘HIPPA Data’”.

He doesn’t realize I spent ten years in healthcare, and he clearly doesn’t even know what he’s saying. I tell him “No, it’s not. HIPPA only applies to insurance companies and holders of medical records.” Then I mutter about not even wanting to go there and the schools being so intrusive…

Ironically, I have spent years and years telling parents to NEVER give medical records to the schools, as they are not held to the same standard. (And frankly - it’s none of their business.) Way before this, I’ve even seen schools call a student’s doctor to change their ADHD medication - all without calling the parent! (This is not legal, schools are not holders of “medical rights”… though guaranteed that is where this is going.)

Giving schools medical data - a recipe for disaster…

School record are held to FERPA standards, not HIPPA. Schools can’t even get this part right - trust me. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen education records sent to the wrong family, or laid out on an office desk for the world to see. (Both violate FERPA.)

BUT — CA just passed a law schools can have access to your child’s medical records at school. And, of course - they don’t have to tell the parents!! Still, it’s not HIPPA Data. This is a lawsuit waiting to happen, since ironically it violates CA privacy laws.

Still - this entire discussion also violates IDEA Federal Special Education Laws. The point of the IEP team is to discuss the student, her needs, and challenges. This is impossible when the school withholds this information.

IEP “Goals” also excluding parents…

This school doesn’t know me yet. They will!! THEN we got into a discussion about how to measure IEP goal progress. I suggested also asking the parent for goal progress feedback… “No we can’t do that—it’s only what happens at school.” Then, the goals were worded to share with “trusted adults” - but only trusted adults at school, of course.

Um, wrong again. The IEP process is intended to prepare kids for college or work, and life. That includes what happens at home, which relates to these objectives. That also makes the parent an equal member of the IEP team. When federal and state laws conflict, California’s laws are in violation of the Federal laws.

The Federal IDEA education laws are simply a monetary carrot - do as we say, or no money. (Generally I oppose this, but for special needs kids, it’s proven to be helpful in a system stacked against them.)

Now, CA risks Federal funding - because states can give kids more rights, but not less, when it comes to special education funding. This is yet another lawsuit waiting to happen…

The bigger CDC agenda… “The whole child” …

This is all part of the “Whole Child Agenda” from the CDC, which is pushing the LGBTQ+ agenda. California has adopted this model. It is being rolled out in “Wellness Centers” and “Community Schools”—bringing in hospitals and Planned Parenthood—all without parents.

Now let me be clear - I support gay people. It’s also fair to say “LGB” is not the current agenda being pushed. What is being pushed is surgically altering children—even though they may later change their mind. What is being pushed is normalizing pedophiles. What is being pushed is even s e x with animals! (I wish I was kidding…)

BEWARE - CDC bypassing local school boards… to infiltrate schools

California is pushing this agenda from our state Superintendent Thurmond, on down, with “Community Schools”. Sure, that sounds good. But is it? California admits adopting the “Whole child model” with the LGBTQ+ focus.

Of course, another bribe using OUR money. The CDC is now giving grants to the local Health Care Agencies, who are giving grants to the county Superintendents - bypassing the county school boards completely— for “Wellness Centers”. Their first focus? Counseling. What is counseling doing? Pushing an agenda.

Now - I’m not saying there aren’t some great counselors. I also support the concept of actual “wellness centers”. But this exchange in South Orange County, still a conservative area, shows me the infiltration is happening, and it’s aggressive. And parents better wake up fast!!

Oh - California also has a new law if you disagree with your child “transitioning”, CPS can take them away. So the school can take over your child, convince them all their problems are being the wrong gender, you won’t be told about it - and if you do find out, and object - CPS can take your kids!!

They are going to do what they want to do to our kids NO MATTER WHAT.

Homeschooling—private, not via public charters—has never looked so good.

Sorry to say, the only way to combat this is in the short term is either watch every single assignment and message sent to our kids like a hawk!! Or, homeschool privately. Trust me - they will go after this educational option, too.

More to come on this… please share with your friends!! Word needs to get out!!
