No, people are possible of anything, it’s just not widespread in either case (terrorist parents or crazy propagandist teachers). And I don’t believe the conservative’s arguments that pornographic and gender-confusing material are being pushed by every public school. I don’t even believe that CRT is being pushed by many teachers because, for one, history really only pertains to a history or social studies class. Why the F would a math teacher be teaching CRT? And two, I just don’t think it is as common as conservatives are claiming. But I am not claiming to know everything about what schools are doing
I can only speak anecdotally, but like I said kids identifying as gender confused, non-binary, and trans is exploding and parents are incorrectly assuming they are getting these “ideas” from school. From actually taking to the kids who identify this way, yes it does seem to have a fad element and appears that is very likely to be just a phase for many of them, but the parents are wrong that the kids are getting it from their teachers. From the mouths of the kids, it spreads among friend groups. One kid hears about a friend identifying as trans or non-binary and they start doing the same. I’m assuming the original is probably getting it from online
Out of the hundreds of LGBT (call me old school but I stop the letters there), I have yet to have a kid mention they read about being non-binary or trans in a school book. And these are naive kids, they wouldn’t have the conceptualization to keep this info from adults for political purposes obviously

It also could be that our society is much more understanding and liberal now a days with the internet and what not. Its OK to be gay, you dont have to wait til your 30 to come out these days. You should be able to say "maybe im gay" or whatever when you're in school and try that life style if you want to. I thought this was the land of the free. Like why not?
They would be alright with the QB of the football team fucking the prom queen but not if its two dudes or two girls. lol.. You're right that it is alot more common but thats because they wont get their heads caved in, put in jail, castrated, etc. At least not as much, but yeah. I dont think its a fad though. I think that people are curious and they will try things when given the opportunity. They dont face a huge social penalty for saying im bi or trans or whatever.
One more thing. We have NO IDEA what its like to go to school these days. I cant even imagine. I think we should be like culture shocked if we spent a day in a classroom. You think so?
