Despite concerns expressed by some parents, the K-5 students at Burton Valley Elementary in Lafayette School District will read a book called \u201cIt Feels Good to Be Yourself: A Book About Gender Identity.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The book\u2019s characters are transgender kids, whose identities are explained to readers, along with scientific concepts like \u201ctransgender,\u201d \u201ccisgender,\u201d and \u201cnon-binary\u201d individuals. These ideas have been criticized by some parents as inappropriate for young children.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Several parents on a neighborhood social media platform, Nextdoor, said they would keep their children at home to avoid the book. However, Burton Valley Elementary\u2019s principal responded that the school regularly has conversations with students about individual identities to ensure they feel valued and appreciated for who they are.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In addition to the book reading, the school board passed a resolution to honor \u201cTransgender Day of Visibility\u201d and ordered that the transgender flag be flown at all of the district\u2019s elementary and middle schools. The celebration of \u201cTransgender Day of Visibility\u201d is part of the Lafayette School District\u2019s efforts to create an inclusive environment for all students, regardless of their gender identity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Last year, the district also launched a new system for reporting incidents of bias related to race, LGBTQ identity, disability, sexual harassment, discrimination, and hate speech.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Daily Wire attempted to contact both Lafayette School District and Burton Valley Elementary for comment, but did not receive a response.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Children as young as kindergarten will read a picture book about transgender kids Friday as part of one\u00a0Northern California school district\u2019s \u201cTransgender Day of Visibility,\u201d despite the objections of several parents.
