The event was part of a collaboration between the National Education Association and the Human Rights Campaign.

By Debbie Truong Debbie Truong Reporter covering Virginia schools Email Bio Follow March 3 at 3:44 PM When Jaim Foster began teaching nearly two decades ago in Nebraska, he said he was discouraged from being an openly gay educator. He had championed LGBT causes at his liberal arts college but suddenly found himself switching pronouns when telling students about his boyfriends.

“I have a girl brain but a boy body. This is called transgender. I was born this way,” the advocate, Sarah McBride, read to the students from the storybook “I Am Jazz.”McBride, a spokeswoman for the Human Rights Campaign, who drew national attention when she came out as transgender the day after her term as American University’s student body president ended, wanted to relay a message of tolerance on a national day of reading led by the country’s largest teachers union.

Lily Eskelsen García, president of the union, said the support was especially urgent because the Trump administration has reversed guidance intended to protect transgender students. DeVos said states and individual schools should decide how to address transgender students’ needs — a position that runs counter to the Obama administration’s stance that barring students from bathrooms that align with their gender identity violates federal law forbidding discrimination on the basis of sex.

Ever do this again and I'll flat out kill you

HRC We should not be forcing this crap on young children! I’m all for LGBT rights, but this is absurd. Let them figure it out when they get older!

SarahEMcBride Have you heard about our books SarahEMcBride?

I wish we had this when I was small! I hope these kids grow up happy and comfortable expressing themselves 🏳️‍🌈

Trans is not like LGB. It involves lifelong medicalization with hormones that increase odds of heart attack, blood clots, diabetes, and so much more.And young teens are having their breasts removed and many change their minds later.Hormones also sterilize.Many are detransitioning

If educators created a curriculum telling kindergarteners that some of them were dinosaurs, and doctors /therapists/teachers/parents/media all played along & agreed, you would create a cluster of dino-kids too, which I suppose you'd 'celebrate,' too. This is MESSED UP.

Abuso infantil

The little girl asked the teacher why did the doctors and your parents think you were a boy? Well --- Sally, it's because they saw that I was born with a penis and testicles, so was a boy according to science.

Bibilon has perverted tendencies

HRC

HRC Oh no! They're trying to- to reach children acceptance!! This is child abuse and it's disgusting!! Why force the idea of acceptance down these poor kids' throats when you could instead force down their throats the cishet mentality!!!!1!1!11!!

Parents should be prosecuted for abuse . No Kindergarten aged child understands transgenderism without being fed it by adults. Why wouldn't natural development, without influence , be allowed for these abused little ones? Kids suffering at the hands of SJW parents. Truly sick

Sick and mentally wrong. I'd move...

Give me a break

Oh my gosh, seriously?

Does the school also have a celebration when a child is diagnosed with diabetes? Lifelong dependence on artificial hormones and multiple risky painful surgeries is nothing to celebrate. So sad for the children.

Does this seem like liberal indoctrination? Just wondering.

This is pretty sick. They're indoctrinating kids and sexualizing them. There is no way kids of that age are in any way able to process that information, it's a completely inappropriate topic.

Sick! What in the world are public school teachers promoting? And you wonder why parents are either homeschooling kids or sending them to private schools! Sick indoctrination starting in kindergarten!

Disgusting, wrong and wtf. CHILD ABUSE

Nothing sick or abnormal here

Trans in kindergarten...You folks are sick.

You're celebrating 5 year old kids being indoctrinated into the tranny lifestyle?

white people too far

We shouldn't let children choose their genitals

College professor praised after photo of him caring for student's baby during class goes viralDr. Nathan Alexander said baby Assata was 'extremely well-behaved' during his 50-minute lecture on Friday. Yes. Imagine the success for women that would be possible if they had the childcare advantages shown to the male student involved. Generally, if women bring babies to class, they are considered inept at managing their commitments. We need universal child care options.

In Northern Va., a fight over moving a bilingual school stirs questions of race and classHispanic parents say they feel ignored by officials who had planned to move the campus. But Not the governor in blackface. He’s a D so it’s cool Remember back when people learned to speak English when they immigrated to an English speaking land? This is the only country where being bilingual is frowned upon. I spoke two languages by age 5 and because of that, my salary is higher than that of my coworkers with equal credentials. I now have partial knowledge of two more languages just for fun.
