School secretly socially transitioned her daughter · Brett Keane and Eve Show

  Discovered a breast binder in her bedroom and so I had a
• 0:03
  conversation with her and asked her where it came from.
• 0:06
  She finally came out and told me that the school had given it to
• 0:09
  her and more precisely the school social worker.
• 0:14
  This is a a breast binder. This is one of the binders that
• 0:18
  was given to my daughter. And as you can see right here,
• 0:20
  there's like an, an added layer of like compression where your
• 0:24
  breasts are to, to compress them to make you appear more
• 0:28
  masculine. It, it hurt as a mom to know
• 0:31
  that she was keeping a secret, but I, I think it hurt even more
• 0:34
  to know that adults were encouraging her to keep these
• 0:38
  secrets. It, it really makes you wonder
• 0:42
  what other things are occurring in, in your schools.
• 0:45
  It really makes you question everything.
• 0:50
  I met with the principal and the Superintendent.
• 0:52
  They met with the social worker on Tuesday and then I met with
• 0:56
  them again on Wednesday with the Superintendent, and they just
• 0:59
  decided that the social worker did nothing wrong and that they
• 1:03
  weren't going to investigate the situation.
• 1:06
  This situation really is about my parental rights being
• 1:10
  violated, about a social worker who had never even had a
• 1:13
  conversation with me encouraging my child to keep secrets from me
• 1:18
  to tell her, you know, look, I'm not going to tell your mom, and
• 1:20
  you don't have to either. So she's bringing these these
• 1:24
  breast binders home and hiding them in her room on me.
• 1:26
  That's distressing. At 13, keeping secrets from your
• 1:30
  parents is a stressful situation.
• 1:33
  I went to a school board meeting and I I spoke up about this
• 1:37
  issue. The only response I got was
• 1:39
  thank you for your comment. I have 3 kids who need an
• 1:43
  education and I would love to be able to send them to a public
• 1:45
  school and in the current environment I'm not comfortable
• 1:48
  with that. And so I feel like unfortunately
• 1:50
  it's going to take legal action from parents like myself to
• 1:54
  really make change happen. The Goldwater Institute jumped
• 1:58
  on board with this because they know it's important, because
• 2:02
  parental rights are, are incredibly important and they've
• 2:05
  been beyond supportive. I, there's no way I would have
• 2:08
  continued to pursue a lawsuit if it wasn't for the Goldwater
• 2:11
  Institute. My daughter, I, I pulled my
• 2:13
  daughter out of school and she, I'm homeschooling her currently.
• 2:17
  She's in 8th grade. And so I I don't know what high
• 2:21
  school is going to look like.
