Quote:ROCKLIN (CBS13) — The Rocklin Academy school board is facing tough questions from parents concerned over a controversial incident involving transgender discussions inside a kindergarten class.

"These parents feel betrayed by the school district that they were not notified," said Karen England with the Capitol Resource Institute.

The incident happened earlier this summer during the last few days of the academic school year.

At Monday night's board meeting, the teacher at the center of the controversy spoke out. With emotions high, she addressed a packed house.

"I'm so proud of my students, it was never my intent to harm any students but to help them through a difficult situation," she said.

The teacher defended her actions to read two children's books about transgenderism including one titled "I am Jazz." She says the books were given to her by a transgender child going through a transition.

"The kindergartners came home very confused, about whether or not you can pick your gender, whether or not they really were a boy or a girl," said England.

Parents say besides the books, the transgender student at some point during class also changed clothes and was revealed as her true gender.

And many parents say they feel betrayed and blindsided.

"I want her to hear from me as a parent what her gender identity means to her and our family, not from a book that may be controversial," a parent said.

"My daughter came home crying and shaking so afraid she could turn into a boy," another parent said.

The issue was not on the agenda, so parents spoke out during public comment.

"It's really about the parents being informed and involved and giving us the choice and rights of what's being introduced to our kids, and at what age," said parent Chelsea McQuistan.

Many teachers also spoke out in support of what transpired inside the classroom. They spoke about the importance of teaching students about diversity and having healthy dialogues.

One parent said the impact on her son was extremely positive.

"It was so precious to see that he had absolutely no prejudice in his body. My child just went in there and listened to the story, and didn't relate it to anything malicious, or didn't question his own body," she said.

"When we head in the direction of banned books or book lists, or selective literature– that should only be read inside or outside the classroom, I think that's a very dangerous direction to go," said 7th grade teacher Kelly Bryson.

The district says the books were age-appropriate and fell within their literature selection policy. Unlike sex education, the topics of gender identity don't require prior parental notice.

Two moms spoke out about it on FOX News. They had there voices altered and you could not see them because they feared reprisals on them and there families.

Its a boy transitioning to a girl. One of the moms said her daughter called the soon to be new girl by her old name at school, within the last couple of weeks. The daughter was called into the principals office the same day. Sounds like the girl felt reprimanded by the principal. The principal denies it.

Whatever happened to shame?

It wasn't all bad!

Rocklin is one f the very few conservative areas in that hell hole, the loons are trying to infiltrate there.

Very sad. Mental illness should be treated not cultivated. And liberals and teacher's unions can't understand why voters are ready for a voucher system, and more and more parents are opting for private schools, and home schooling. Wake up America.

Grooming more mentally ill future snowflakes.

Poor kid. His parents are allowing his delusion.

Or hers? These days it's so hard to tell.

Child abuse. He's 5 years old. This isn't some kid going through puberty who at least has some concept.

I'm waiting for the news story about someone who was forced to become a boy or a girl, because that is what their parents wanted.

While I support (in the sense that it's none of my business) when an adult makes a decision about their sexuality, kindergarten is not the place to introduce this idea.

nor is Kindergarten a time to transition a kid.

The fact that this happened in a kindergarten class is utterly disturbing. Putting those thoughts into a freaking 5 year old's head? A five year old thinks he's/she's exactly what God/nature intended for them to be. Home schooling seems like a better option every day for parents.

Although it's not exactly surprising considering what state this is from, this is the same state that is contemplating taxing flipping drinking water.

If this proves to be a mental illness then it should not be ignored nor should it be codified into law.

If you think a children's book is going to undermine the way you choose to raise your children, then you need to rethink the way you are raising your kids.

Ah yes, deflect, SOP for a lib. It's the parents fault.

You really think a 5 year old has the capacity to listen to an adult for 8 hours 5 days a week and not be influenced by them? Hell most adults can't even do that.

I guess by your theory you can tell a kid Nazism is a bad thing, then give them Mein Kampf to read and be 100% worry free they won't get any influence from the book because you raised them right?

To be sure you aren't that naive.

If you think a prayer before a school sporting event is going to undermine the way you choose to raise your children, then you need to rethink the way you are raising your kids.

Its child abuse. Pure and simple. A 5 year old does not have the mental capability to even understand this issue. A boy or girl being confused at this age does not signify that they want a damn sex change.

A boy or girl being confused at this age only signifies that their parents want a damn sex change for the kid so that the parents can Virtue Signal via facebook and gather praise for their progressive views.
