Red state. Blue state. Same playbook. đŸ§” Pink. Blue. Rainbows. Stars. All the cool, kid-friendly vibes. In New Mexico: gender support handouts distributed to kids as young as elementary school. In Texas: transgender resource mailers sent to students at home. Look what’s inside 👇 @Libs of TikTok

Students as young as elementary school in Santa Fe were given pink flyers covered in rainbows, clouds, & stars. đŸŒˆâ˜ïžâ­ Bubble-letter propaganda telling kids that choosing a different name & pronouns is COOL. And that they have a RIGHT to these things – without mom or dad knowing! This is how a social contagion spreads.
And if a little boy’s parents give the school permission, he could be using the girls’ restroom alongside your daughter. The school’s “Gender Support Plan” is labeled “CONFIDENTIAL.” Other parents may never know that a male student is using girl-only spaces. Restroom. Locker room. Sports. Field trip Sleeping Quarters

Now Texas. The mailer’s opening section: “What to do if your parents don’t support you.” Step one? Find a “safe adult.” A teacher. A counselor. A therapist. A friend’s parent. Just NOT their parents.
Next up: “Want to know about hormones or gender affirming care?” “Can I go out of state for care?” Texas law protects minors from chemical and surgical mutilation. Kids are told to contact a legal organization instead of arranging it themselves. In other words: here’s who can help you work around your own state’s law.
Still not enough? There’s a primer on emancipation. Age 17, or 16 and living apart from your parents. Self-supporting. Plus a link explaining how the court process works. This is going to children.
And the closer: Groups like these are “ready to become your found family.” The message is clear: if Mom and Dad say no, we’ll replace them.
This goes far beyond New Mexico and Texas. From Wisconsin to California, schools have faced scrutiny over gender support plans that keep parents in the dark. In March, the Supreme Court found that California's parental-concealment policies likely violated constitutional rights. So why is parental secrecy still being defended?
Different states. Different politics. Same troubling question: When did keeping secrets from parents become part of a school's job? Parents aren't the problem. And a school's responsibility to children shouldn't require treating their mothers and fathers like the enemy.
