Teachers and staff from Texas to Florida are blowing the whistle on school districts training them to keep a children’s transgender identity a secret from parents.

In Texas, past and present teachers at Conroe Independent School District (ISD) said they were told by training staff to affirm a student’s gender identity by using preferred pronouns and names. They also were instructed to withhold that information from parents.
