Parents Defending Education published the documents after concerned parents from West Hartford contacted them to expressed dismay that their children were being exposed to “social emotional learning through an equity lens.”
The report notes that one of the parents was particularly troubled by a book assigned to children titled When Aidan Became a Brother which details how a girl decides to become a boy after being born in the “wrong” body.
A synopsis of the book states that “When Aidan was born, everyone thought he was a girl. His parents gave him a pretty name, his room looked like a girl’s room, and he wore clothes that other girls liked wearing.”
It continues, “After he realized he was a trans boy, Aidan and his parents fixed the parts of his life that didn’t fit anymore, and he settled happily into his new life.”
The concerned parent stated “I am troubled by When Aidan Became a Brother (4th grade) which is full on gender theory, that the sex you’re assigned at birth is ‘wrong’ and you’re actually a boy. This is being presented as factual to very young children.”
The parents were also told that they could not opt their children out of the programme, according to the report.
