"A public school in California used fifth graders to groom kindergarteners during a bizarre transgender assignment that included a storybook about a little boy who wears a dress. And the district refused to let parents opt-their children out of the lesson.

In May 2024, a fifth-grade teacher at La Costa Heights Elementary School read aloud the book, My Shadow is Pink, which urges children to question their own gender identity.

The book features a boy who sees his shadow as pink, which the book describes as “your inner-most you.” He then wears a dress to school and his dad changes his beliefs and puts on a dress too.

The children at La Costa Heights Elementary School were forced to watch a read-aloud video of the book with their kindergartener “buddy” as part of the school’s mentoring program. The older students had to ask the kindergartner what color “represents” him and draw the kindergartener’s shadow in chalk.

Though La Costa Heights and the teachers advised parents about the “buddy” program, they never notified parents that “My Shadow is Pink” would be used in the “buddy” program. In fact, the entire lesson was omitted from the male teacher’s weekly newsletter to parents.

Parents requested a notice and opt-outs for similar lessons in the future, but the district turned down their requests."
