Apparently, in the state of Colorado, it is now a thoughtcrime to suggest in any way, shape, or form that a teenager choosing to switch genders and undergo irreversible medical treatment is anything other than totally fantastic.
This is the experience of one teacher in Colorado who says he was sent to a "re-education" camp after suggesting to one of his students that some people who transition genders later regret the surgery.
Jefferson County Public School teacher Phil Vagos underwent disciplinary action following an email exchange between himself and a transgender student. The student — a biological female who initially emailed Vagos begging for a second chance to pass his class — asked to be addressed using "he/him" pronouns "when in absence of parental figures," according to the communications reviewed by the Daily Caller.
So, this student comes to beg her teacher for a better grade and lets him know that she goes by male pronouns unless her parents are present. This is because schools often make it a policy to hide students' gender transitions from their parents.
The exchange then turns towards the transgender issue when this teacher, showing human concern for his student, tries to give some guidance.
"I understand that my grade in your class is incredibly low and that I never truly got any important work done during the semester," the student emailed Vagos. "With the end of the year being today, I realize my mistake and I'm asking you for an extended semester to make up the credits I have lost. I'm determined to work as hard and as efficiently in your course as I can, and have the motivation to participate in your class."
Vagos responded using the student's preferred name and said he removed a couple of "zero credit assignments" attributed to the student to pass the class. He went on to provide the student with information on detransitioners and wished the student the best of luck.
"And as much as I don't want to interfere in anything that isn't my business, given the P.S. of the email I thought it might be helpful for me to provide a link regarding the transitioning process that has become a recent trend among young people in the United States," Vagos' email read. "I typically wouldn't do this, although you did mention that you are using an alternate name and gender outside of your parents' presence, which tells me that this might not be the result of a consensus of agreement between you and them."
"In any event, please forgive my presumptuousness on my part regarding this issue. But I am a firm believer in making fully informed decisions … especially when they may completely and permanently alter one's life," the teacher continued.
That was the end of the message.
Vagos basically said "here's some info on transitioning, take it or leave it."
And that was just too much for the woke in the school. Repentance from his anti-trans bigotry must happen.
Jefferson County Public Schools sent Vagos a letter of reprimand arguing that he violated the district's policy of "harassment of students based on sexual orientation." Vagos was told he can no longer use the word "trend" when discussing transgender ideology, according to the reprimand letter.
"Your response to this student and the provision of this link imparts a lack of support and reduces a student's self-identification as being transgendered as a "trend" rather than something real the student is experiencing," the letter read.
A substitute teacher was provided in Vagos' absence as he underwent a "Gender Inclusion 101" training provided by the Jefferson County Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion team. Videos from the training included "Avery's Story," "Mom, I'm Not A Girl: Raising a Transgender Child," and "What is a Gender Inclusive School?" Another training was provided by "Gender Spectrum."
People suspected Vagos to be conservative, people complained, then they used the email exchange above to place the teacher on leave and put him into "Gender Inclusion 101" training.
Basically, if you don't comply with the groomers in charge of these schools they send you to a re-education camp.
That isn't hyperbole. That's really what happened.
Government schools have been taken over by groomers. And you're paying for it!
