Williamson County Students Watch Video About Non-Binary Teens

 

Students who attend the Williamson County School System recently watched a video that seems to promote teenagers who live non-binary lifestyles.

Hillsboro Elementary School personnel presented the video to seventh-graders.

In the video, available for people to watch on YouTube, a person, apparently a teenage girl, talks about a friend she made before she entered the seventh-grade.

“He came out to me, and he was like ‘Hey, I’m gender non-binary. You can call me any pronouns as long as they’re not ‘she,’” the unidentified girl said.

“So, I started thinking, ‘Am I really a girl?’ It was a whole lot of things that had just wrapped around me and it was stressful making the choice and it was stressful wanting to tell someone, because, before meeting him, I didn’t know who to tell. I was feeling disappointed with myself for a long time.”

Tennessee Stands spokesman Gary Humble said in a mass email to group members Wednesday that many people moved to Williamson County “from California to escape this kind of nonsense in our education system.”

Cameron Gish, Principal, was apologetic to parents that they were not first notified before the school decided that it was a good idea to teach ‘self-care’ through a very confused child with gender non-binary friends, who stabs themselves with sewing needles. Mr. Gish takes it upon himself to ‘focus on the whole child and the social/emotional needs of our community,’” Humble said.

“In case you haven’t been paying attention, this ‘whole child’ philosophy is the product and of our illustrious TN Commissioner of Education, Penny Schwinn who was personally appointed by Governor Bill Lee.”

Gish, in a message to students’ families, said that the school’s counseling department prepares lessons for students “on a variety of topics from organization and college/career ready skills to kindness and leadership.”

“Included with the presentation was a snippet of a video released by the MGH Clay Center targeting self-care practices in middle school.  Our Counseling Department had the video snipped to begin mid-way through as students were being interviewed about positive coping skills (journaling, fidget toys, deep breathing, sports, etc.),” Gish wrote.

“Some classrooms watched the entire six-minute video, though, which included examples of a negative coping skill (self-harm) and a reference to a student’s struggle with gender identity. While these scenarios do occur in our school and local community, we always give parents a heads up any time sensitive issues are being discussed at school. I apologize that this oversight occurred today and that some students watched the entire video, rather than the segmented portion that was intended.”

  1. M Prosith

    Cameron Gish is the most unprofessional principal I have ever observed. He should have been dismissed immediately. Maybe all the good teachers that left would return if he would go. He rarely is in the classrooms, so no surprise that this happened under his watch.

  2. Jesse Hewitt

    It’s sad that adults sit around demeaning children and their identities. Maybe y’all should grow up and get a life and stop talking about things you clearly do not understand.

  3. Mark Smith

    It’s inexcusable mind poison.

  4. JC

    It’s all part of the radical left’s war on the binary family, and America.

  5. Lance Wing

    Absolute, abject stupidity. To infuse even more confusion in the fragile minds of adolescents and pre-adolescents is irresponsible and inexcusable. Grounds for immediate dismissal to all involved. Sexual preference and biological reality are two different things.

  6. jj

    Cameron Gish should be fired, period. What other “over-sights” have happened?

    Time for some pink slips. Gov Lee any comments?

    … and PsyOps by all of the enemies and those envious of America!

    This includes the “left”, the Mainstream Media, the CCP and Islamic extremists. And Biden will cave to all of them!

  10. Time to put every administrator on a one-year contract, up for review/renewal EVERY YEAR, decided by the taxpayers. Also time for parents to approve the curriculum for each school. Time for parents to take back their kid’s education. OR, time for school vouchers. Yes – even in the supposed stellar Wm Cty system.
