The White House broadened its all-out assault on gender ideology Wednesday night by threatening prosecution of teachers and schools for “unlawfully facilitating the social transition of a minor student” to identify and be treated as the opposite sex, part of a broader executive order on “ending radical indoctrination in K-12 schools.”

The potential legal actions against individuals involved in a process flagged in school districts nationwide but officially discouraged in England and in the pioneering “Dutch protocol” for treating gender dysphoria – affirming and reinforcing a child’s oft-temporary gender confusion – went unnoticed in a New York Times feature on school-related orders.

What started on Inauguration Day with replacing gender identity with sex-based language in federal definitions and protections in workplaces, schools and prisons, and followed with orders against medicalized gender transitions for minors and transgender service members in the military, continues with a sweeping federal role in school curriculum and training. …

Wednesday’s order goes perhaps the furthest in Trump’s early term in spelling out consequences in education for affirming a student’s gender confusion.

It gives a lengthy definition of social transition that includes “psychological or psychiatric counseling or treatment by a school counselor or other provider,” changing names and pronouns, “calling a child ‘nonbinary,'” using opposite-sex bathrooms and locker rooms and eligibility for opposite-sex extracurriculars such as athletics.

The secretaries of Defense Education and Health and Human Services have 90 days to devise an “Ending Indoctrination Strategy” to Trump, in consultation with the U.S. attorney general, for eliminating federal funding and support for “gender ideology and discriminatory equity ideology” in K-12 schools and protecting student privacy and parental rights under federal law.

It will sum up federal grants and contracts that “directly or indirectly support or subsidize” the concepts in K-12 curriculum, instruction, programs, activities, teacher education, certification, licensing, employment and training, and lay out each agency’s process to stop or rescind funding for education agencies and schools that violate the prohibition. …

In a section likely to alarm school districts and teachers unions, especially in blue states and metro areas, the order tasks the AG with coordinating with state AGs and district attorneys to go after teachers and administrators who violate “the law,” without specifying which.

Such actions include “sexually exploiting minors,” also undefined, “unlawfully practicing medicine by offering diagnoses and treatment without the requisite license” or any other action that facilitates a minor student’s social transition “unlawfully.” …
