I've pointed out repeatedly: These people only have a bachelor's degree and not even a difficult one. And yet they all have decided they're actual psychiatrists -- medical doctors-- with specializations in childhood mental illnesses when it comes to diagnosing other people's children.
Is Stephen Colbert going to lecture teachers about Staying In Their Lanes or nah? Nah, right? Of course nah. All leftists are automatically geniuses with honorary advanced degrees in all fields of human knowledge simply by virtue of Voting Blue No Matter What You Do!
These Woke Know-Nothings are the ultimate Dunning-Krueger cadre. The very fact that they would even consider themselves competent to do this is proof that they are utterly unsuited for this job and must be removed from it and barred from all other jobs which involve caring for and supervising children.
The parents are suing. I wish they could bring a private cause of criminal action.
A Long Island teacher "forced" a 5th-grade girl to go by a male name and pronouns, confusing the child so much that she had suicidal thoughts, a lawsuit alleges.
Debra Rosenquist -- a 5th-grade teacher at Terryville Road Elementary School in Port Jefferson Station -- started calling the 9-year-old Leo and using opposite gender pronouns toward the beginning of the 2021-'22 school year, according to a lawsuit filed in Suffolk County Court by the child's parents last month.
The parents say they were only clued in about what was happening in January 2022, when the school principal called them telling them their child -- referred to in court papers as A.V. -- had drawn a picture of a girl, writing "I wanna kill myself" and "I feel sad like a lot," the filing claims.
The principal also informed the parents that A.V. had even met with the school psychologist telling the mental health worker that she "was confused about her gender identity," the court papers say.
Despite Rosenquist, 62, having referred to the student "for months at that point" as Leo, it was only during the Jan. 27, 2022 call that the parents were asked for the first time if this name was okay, the suit claims.
The parents were supportive "as long as it was A.V. who had requested the name change," the filing said.
But they had doubts she had asked to be called Leo to identify as a boy -- in the past, she been called that by a friend but in reference to her astrological sign.
A.V.'s parents also became concerned when they saw complaints against Rosenquist on Facebook, claiming the teacher had been reported for abuse but that the school district had done nothing about it because she was tenured, the suit alleges.

During a deeper dig into the social media comments, the parents found that Rosenquist didn't follow the school curriculum and taught her students about transgender people and told kids to "try being gay" or try going by the opposite gender, the suit claims.
The educator even made her own LGBTQ+ book called "I Am Neither" for her 9 and 10-year-old students and assigned a book called "When Aiden Becomes a Brother," according to the lawsuit.
While the parents weren't concerned by the topic, they were worried that it was being taught at too young an age and were also worried that Rosenquist "had significantly deviated from the district's curriculum," the suit claims.
This Rosenquist is a fat Egg With Legs 62-year-old Karen who is pretending she's in her 20s: She's got dangerhair like she just got out of college.
Are you fooled?
One of the parents met with the principal, the superintendent and the assistant superintendent on Feb. 3, 2022 where the administrators "admitted that the issue was 'not handled properly'" and said they hadn't known about the off-curriculum materials that Rosenquist had been using, the filing alleges.
While they said they had investigated, "it was clear the investigation was superficial at best," the suit claims.
Remember this the next time a leftist whines about the Catholic Church:
Rosenquist was removed from that classroom but is now teaching younger students, according to the family's lawyer Debra Wabnik.
Meanwhile, adults at a school board meeting gasp as a little kid reads from a sexually explicit gay sex exploration book that was on prominent display at his middle school. He says that when he went to check it out, the librarian asked him -- no doubt eagerly -- if he wanted any other books of the same kind.
