An elite charter school in California has been rocked by scandal since the end of the last school year, when a kindergarten teacher read her class a pair of books advocating transgender ideology, and a male kindergartener was reintroduced to the class as a girl.

Now first-graders at Rocklin Academy Gateway risk a trip to the principal's office if they refer to their transgender classmate by the wrong name or gender pronoun, said Karen England, executive director of the Capitol Resource Institute, a pro-family group based in Sacramento.


"There was a little girl who had been in class with the little boy all last year," Ms. England said. "They're in different classes now, but she saw him on the playground yesterday and called him by his name. The little girl was told 'you can't do that, his name is this name,' and 'you need to call him a "her."' Then she was called to the principal's office."

Ms. England said she has been in touch with the girl's parents and described them as "outraged." She said they met with school officials to discuss the matter Wednesday.

It's not clear whether the girl was disciplined for the infraction. Rocklin Academy did not return a request for comment before press time.

The controversy at Rocklin is just the latest example of the transgender movement's increasing emphasis on spreading its ideology through early education.
