Teachers not being allowed to talk to parents about what's going on with their children at school. We have the Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Rachel Levine saying young children should be empowered to get gender affirmation treatment, which often involves puberty blockers, chemical castration, and irreversible surgeries that cause long term harm to kids. Now here's the thing. If parents don't comply, the federal government threatens to bring in Child Protective Services, get them involved and take your kids away. (25:47–26:05)
