I was a teacher, too, and it would be foolish to apply my limited experience in a school district to all of the schools nationwide. I've taught in 3 different states, 4 different school districts, and 8 different schools. Each is different. There are definitely schools teaching the things claimed by JIB... especially on the West Coast. I have read several articles discussing this vary topic, and a quick search supports this: California Board of Education Revamps Sex-Ed. 

While I can certainly get behind Cleatwood"s argument that this is not a national phenomenon, I think we are ultimately splitting hairs on the word, "many." There are "many" schools on the west coast that will be teaching gender identity to kindergarteners. It's not a majority, but there are far too many schools getting into the business of teaching sexuality to children. This varies by state and county, but it's not a trend that I'd like to see replicated, I and support parent pushback against it.
