Politics in School
We all have different political beliefs and the current politics of our country is very divisive.
To protect the learning environment of our schools, it would be best for our teachers and students to focus on core curriculum and other topics that promote unity rather than division.
We ask that GCISD keep the politically charged content out of the classroom and schools.

The top left of the image shows a picture of Hitler with a Trump mask on.
Regardless of your political affiliation, is it appropriate for GCISD to allow this type of politically charged imagery in the yearbook?

Gender Counseling
Let Go of Being Binary
Gender Counseling
A representative from MCP Counseling provided this training to GCISD counselors free of charge.
Who authorized this outside progressive group to come speak to our counselors?
Were the counselors being paid by the ISD at the time they were attending training?
Gender Roles
Let Go of Being Binary
Gender Counseling
Defined gender roles as "the set of roles, activities, expectations, and behaviors assigned to females and males by society." Said that gender is not Biology--it's a social construct.

Let Go of Being Binary
A tip given to GCISD counselors was to let go of the idea that there are two sexes. The trainer advocated for gender-neutral language, including "they" as the student preferred pronoun.
Promoting the idea of a gender spectrum to any GCISD student is in direct violation of policy EMB(LOCAL).
"Teaching Tolerance"
Let Go of Being Binary
Recommended a progressive website designed to help teachers guide the discussion for students on their gender.
Telling Parents about LGBTQ Status
Gave advice for how to frame the discussion about gender status to parents, regardless of parent beliefs.
She mentioned parent belief systems as an obstacle more than once in the video.
Labeling Students as Bullies
If a student does not embrace the ideology of the LGBTQ community, that student it labeled a "bully." The moderator provided techniques for the counselors to "re-train" the "bully" into acceptance of the ideology.
