Cataford\u2019s comments were labeled \u201ctransphobic\u201d after she posted to a local mother\u2019s group when someone asked for local school recommendations, saying parents should \u201cInvestigate the school system curriculum\u2026CT is a very socially liberal, gender confused state.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a public school nurse, I have an 11yo female student on puberty blockers and a dozen identifying as non-binary, all but two keeping this as a secret from their parents with the help of teachers, SSW [social workers] and school administration,\u201d Cataford continued, according to the Mail. \u201cTeachers and SSW are spending 37.5 hours a week influencing our children, not necessarily teaching our children what YOU think is being taught.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cataford also reportedly said in her post that \u201cchildren are introduced to this confusion in kindergarten by the school SW who \u2018teaches\u2019 social and emotional regulation and school expectations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cataford continued: \u201cScience tells us that a child\u2019s brain continues development into the early 20\u2019s, hence laws prohibiting alcohol, tobacco, vaping and cannabis. But it\u2019s ok to inject hormones into confused prepubescent children and perform genital mutilating surgery on adolescents!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Puberty blockers are marketed to children and family as being reversible, but studies show this may not be true. In 2017, The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/study-no-blocking-puberty-drugs-doesnt-help-kids-amanda-prestigiacomo\">reported<\/a> on one such study, which found there that \u201cThere are virtually no published reports, even case studies, of adolescents withdrawing from puberty-suppressing drugs, and then resuming the normal pubertal development typical for their sex.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hartford School District officials were made aware of the post after the mother of the 11-year-old reportedly on puberty blockers saw it and reported it, the Mail reported. The family of the student, who have not been identified in media reports, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wfsb.com\/2022\/03\/28\/hartford-public-schools-nurse-administrative-leave-after-inappropriate-comments-surface-online\/\">told<\/a> WSFB that \u201cAs a family we are very happy with how thoroughly and quickly the school and the district has taken action to both ensure the nurse is fully investigated and ensure the safety and privacy of our child. They could not have done a better job.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hartford Public Schools superintendent Dr. Leslie Torres-Rodriguez released a statement regarding Cataford\u2019s remarks, without naming her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHartford Public Schools strives to provide an inclusive environment where all students feel seen, valued, respected, and heard,\u201d Torres-Rodriguez said in the statement. \u201cWe uphold all of our staff to a high standard, entrusting them to be caretakers and leaders in the community.\u00a0We as a school district are responsible for the health, well-being, social and emotional development, and safety of ALL of the children entrusted to our care. It is our responsibility to support our students\u2019 growth, personal experiences, and social-emotional development.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe take this matter, and any incident that impacts our students\u2019 well-being, very seriously. Ensuring our schools are a safe place for students, staff and visitors is our highest priority. Therefore, we took immediate action to remove this individual from our schools while we investigate,\u201d Torres-Rodriguez added. \u201cWhile at times the most hateful rhetoric is the loudest it certainly doesn\u2019t reflect the care, commitment, and acceptance that the vast majority of our teachers and staff practice every day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
