Parent's Do You Know What is Really Going On at Your Child's School.

 

 Teacher Lori Caldeira, pictured, has been accused of manipulating an 11 year-old girl into believing she was a transgender boy 

Jessica Konen,  with her attorney and CEO of The Center for American Liberty, Harmeet K. Dhillon filed a legal claim against Spreckels Union School District last Wednesday, alleging that two Buena Vista Middle School teachers 'planted a seed' in her daughter's head that she was bisexual, then tried to convince her that she was a transgender boy

A California mother is taking legal action against a school district, claiming that two teachers secretly manipulated her 11-year-old daughter into believing she was a transgender boy.

Jessica Konen filed a legal claim against Spreckels Union School District last Wednesday - with that claim a likely precursor to a lawsuit. She alleges that Buena Vista Middle School teachers Lori Caldeira and Kelly Baraki 'planted a seed' in her daughter's head that she was bisexual, then went on to convince the youngster that she was actually a transgender boy.

Konen also claims that Caldeira and Baraki - who ran the school's 'You Be You' equality club - provided information for her daughter on how to bind her breasts to stop them developing. She says the school kept her in the dark about what was going on until a December 2019 meeting.

In response to the post and parents' reactions, the school district sent a letter to parents.

"Dear Spreckels Union School District (SUSD) Community:

"SUSD staff, administration and our Board of Education are committed to supporting safe, inclusive and equitable learning environments that support all students without including, sharing or promoting any political opinion or agenda.

"Recently, an article was written that quoted two Buena Vista Middle School teachers who presented during a California Teachers’ Association (CTA) conference in Palm Springs. The teachers were using personal leave to lead a breakout session in their roles as CTA members; they were not officially presenting on behalf of SUSD, nor were their presentation materials or comments reviewed by SUSD administration. Many of the comments and themes stated in the article are alarming, concerning, disappointing and do not in any way reflect the District or the Board of Education’s policies and practices.

"The District has taken immediate steps to address several of the concerns raised in the article:

•" The student club mentioned in the article, UBU (You be You), has been suspended.
