The Michigan Department of Education believes students should be referred to by whatever name and pronouns they desire, and they advocate for keeping name/pronoun secrets from parents. In fact they instructed teachers to keeps secrets and gave them tips for hiding pronoun information from parents. This is highly concerning.
This short video – Secrets from Parents - is a series of clips taken from training videos put together by the Michigan Department of Education LGBTQ Student Project.
The Michigan Department of Education assembled a team of experts called the MDE LGBTQ Student Project, who put together a series of trainings, recordings and resources to support LGBTQIA+ students. The videos provide numerous recommendations from The State of Michigan for schools and school personnel in relation to dealing with LGBTQ students.
The complete series of videos is called Pride in Diversity.
