All right. So you're not against kids being educated about trans people. You are upset over one instance where it was allegedly done poorly.
I'm still on the fence with that. It might be a good or bad thing. I just don't know.
What "upsets" me is that liberal politicians got involved and are the leaders and decision makers.
And that they are giving directives to teachers, when a multidisciplinary team of child psychologists, doctors and teachers should be in charge.
Leave liberal gender politics out of schools. Someone even compared it with Martin Luther Kings fight for blacks, which is the most inappropriate and stupid analogy that I ever heard of.
___________________________
Nevertheless, I enjoyed this exchange because you made me think about things that I haven't thought about before:
Unlike my generation who didn't live in the age of available wifi and uncontrolled massmedia,
the new generation are now being educated through two streams: official regulated education in schools and unofficial unregulated education through the internet.
And that it might well be that the school curticulum should keep up with the times and try to address the latter.
Teachers have every businness teaching complex and serious issues to kids. Cause nonoby else has the chops to do it. A good teacher will inform on facts, dispel common misconceptions and engage reasonable debate on the different subjective perpectives people can have on a topic.
I wouldn't find it appropriate for a doctor or psychologist to teach young children anything. Not even medicine or psychology. A teacher's job is to bring general understanding of a wide array of topics to children. You don't need specialized expertise in a topic. You need a well informed layman's insight, and the skill and competence to share it: Teaching.
The topic is out there. Kids don't live in hermetically sealed chambers, as much as some parents wish they did. They're gonna encounter trans people. On TV, hear about them from friends, maybe even meet one in person.
Why is it wrong to explain it to them? Especially since it it a topic prone for confusion, prejudice and disinformation otherwise.
It's not wrong to explain it to them. I don't think it's a topic for elementary school. For example little girls who are on the tom-boyish side, may just be that: tom-boyish. If we were to teach the tom-boy little girl: hey you don't like the usual girl things, maybe you were meant to be a boy-- are we offering, teaching, promoting life long drastic changes?
Transgenders and suicide
I don't understand what you're trying to say here. Would a teacher teacher, against all science and common sense, equate being a tomboy with being transgender? No, that sort of misconception would be exactly the kind of thing that a teacher could dispel.It's not wrong to explain it to them. I don't think it's a topic for elementary school.

Umm. Think back about all your teachers. Yes there some very good ones and very bad ones. Some with agendas and some fair. This seems like a serious subject I wouldn't leave to government employees.
Not all teachers are government employees.
And there are some good and some bad of every profession. No matter who employs them, as fashionable as it may be to shit on the public sector.
Does in no way shape or form negate my point. Plumbers should do plumbing. Police should do policing. Teachers should do teaching. Cause on average, they do it better than us amateurs.

Who gets to be in charge of gender identity?
I volunteer. You are now, let's see, you are now an M-to-F transgender with strong lesbian tendencies and a thing for feet. It is time for you to emerge as your true self. You're welcome. And before you go, please clean that stuff off my feet.
Neither are trades people.They are not some generic teaching machine. It not like the calculus teacher also does English or PE. You wouldn't expect them to.
The person who's identity is in question. If one is.Who gets to be in charge of gender identity?

I just can't imagine a fourth grader learning: reading, writing, arithmetic, and sexual identity.
It's complex.
Doesn't have to be. Just toss in a couple of LGBTG characters in stories every now and then.
In stories, that's fine. In school plays . . . raises too many potential problems and objections.

I am saying that I do not think that gender identity should be a part of elementary school education. The teacher would not have to dispel anything as there is nothing wrong with being a tomboy. If we start entering transgender discussions at the elementary level: the tomboy may become confused, and think there is something biologically 'wrong' with her identity because she likes digging for worms instead of playing with dolls.
We can teach our children how to be open, loving, and accepting of others without introducing sexuality or gender identity topics prior to an age of basic understanding of anatomy.
