According to the website Gender LCGB, the Ventura County webinar, hosted by the Ventura County Office of Education last November, was led by two attorneys from a law firm that advises public school districts in California.
Attorneys gave Ventura County teachers three hours’ worth of suggestions on how to encourage young students to embrace new gender identities without the child’s parents finding out. Guidance included:
— Giving students “get to know you” forms at the start of the school year to ask students to declare their personal pronouns.
— Not using “gendered words” like “mom and dad,” but “parents” instead.
— Encouraging educators to integrate lessons on perverse or unorthodox sexuality in topics other than sex education because parents have the right to opt their children out of sex education but not other topics.
— Telling teachers that students have a right to privacy that trumps a parent’s right to know.
Attorneys urged educators to refrain from keeping written records of discussions between the school and students about gender and sexuality because parents have a right to view these documents. According to the article, the attorneys recommended ways to conceal documents, like the Gender Support Plan, which offer a roadmap for pushing students to embrace gender dysphoria. They advised teachers to keep these plans “in personal possession” — meaning teachers do not have to share them with parents.
Seminar leaders even suggested that schools issue two different ID cards, one with the student’s legal name and another with his or her chosen name, and to use the child’s given name when sending out mass emails to families. They emphasized that teachers may discuss sexual topics in the context of history, English or other subjects so that families would not legally have to be notified.
This story is a prime example showing why the label “groomer” is accurate. Public school teachers in Ventura County, California, received advice from a law firm to help them deceive parents
Each of the suggestions was specifically designed to help schools keep parents from knowing if their children are dealing with confusion about their gender. But it gets even worse. The attorneys also gave teachers advice on how to teach about sexual orientation and gender identity without parents’ knowledge. They outlined how educators can inject progressive ideas about gender ideology and sexuality into the curriculum without notifying parents, as long as it is taught outside of sex education.
With formal sex education curriculum, the school is required to notify parents that they have the right to opt their children out of sex-ed classes. But this only applies to formal sex education, meaning problematic teachings about sexuality and gender can be infused into subjects unrelated to sex education like physical education, anti-bullying programs, Social Emotional Learning training, and even history and English classes. It is an insidious loophole that teachers can easily exploit.
Again, the entire purpose of the training was to help teachers cut parents out of the equation when it comes to instruction on sexuality and gender identity. The Gender Support Plan, in particular, when kept from the parents is a prime example of state-sponsored grooming. Sure, the teachers are not trying to have sexual relations with the students, but they are certainly grooming them to identify as transgender without their parents finding out. It is likely one of the reasons why there has been a 4,000 percent increase in young girls deciding to become transgender boys.
Progressives tend to complain when conservatives use the term “grooming” when describing these practices. But what else are we supposed to call it, when teachers, counselors, and other school faculty are blatantly working to help kids transition without their parent’s knowledge?

Meticulous patient planners, endless resources, no limits of evil are out-of-bounds.
Don't even know where to start, other than running-away...

Just my opinion, but methinks that the flavor of Political-Party™ in Office™ :
matters as much to the forwarding of these Agendas™, as the flavor of gum a random kid chooses, at a random candy-store, on a random day.
