The administration has confirmed the removal of the curriculum segments and the suspension of the club meetings. We are now monitoring the upcoming policy review to ensure these changes remain permanent.

Thank you to administration and families for finding a resolution.

Working together we can ensure the accuracy and appropriateness of the health curriculum. We recognize parents fundamental role in the education of their children and that it is vital to communicate the intent to teach such sensitive topics as sexual identity. We agree on the importance of maintaining a learning environment that is welcoming and accepting of ALL students. One that does not focus on identifying differences but teaches equality.

Thank you to all who took the time to voice their opinions and concerns. In our complicated world of today, it is important to simply let kids be kids!

It has come to the attention of the HK Community that there is a radical pro-transgender movement affecting the students of HKMS.

We all agree that kindness and inclusiveness are important but that does not give teachers the right to expose our young children to unnatural behavior and brazen pro-transgender activism. It’s immoral, harmful and confusing.

I stand against teaching students the opinion that gender is a state of mind and something that can be changed.

I stand against surveys that ask students about their sexual identity and/or preferred pronouns.

I stand against allowing a club to meet during school hours that teaches about the transgender movement, sexual preferences, and gender transitions.

I defend the innocence of our children and oppose teaching unsupported, unscientific information about gender identity. No child should have to question the gender they were born with.

I respectfully urge RSD17 Administration and Board of Education to stop the radical transgender movement at HKMS.

I have been reviewing the input provided by parents regarding the current school health curriculum and the specific club activities mentioned in our petition. These accounts are being compiled into a formal report to present to the school board during our upcoming meeting.

I find it outrageous that teachers have started down a dark path with this gender identity curriculum, exposing young impressionable minds to what most parents would view as inappropriate and psychological abuse. Unfortunately, many parents are unaware to the extent that this material is being rolled out, otherwise I think you would see a massive outcry. Teachers need to stick with teaching and leave the parenting to the parents.

Thank you for spreading awareness. The past two years have removed us from our children's education in far too many ways.

I applaud your petition and standing up for parents rights! I plan on asking for an opt out if teachers plan on portraying Columbus as a hero (murderer of thousands) that the civil war was about states rights (racism and slavery) or that January 6th was a protest (domestic terrorism). Thanks for opening this door!

You mean the people who feel as if they have no choice but to take their own lives because they are incessantly being bullied and diminished by people like you

Middle school is confusing and would be much easier if kids were given the terminology that helps them find their identity, wether it be in the LGBTQ+ community or the cis-het- community. It isn’t harmful, it helps these kids to figure out who they are in a safe space that obviously is not provided to them at home
