A pair of public school teachers at Buena Vista Middle School in Salinas, [[California]] were exposed for encouraging their fellow teachers to identify alleged [[LGBT]] schoolchildren, recruit them into LGBT clubs under false pretenses and then hide their in-club activities from the parents.  The two were seen in video footage from a teleconference held by the California Teachers Association union. Both are members of the union. According to reports, both had already created their own LGBT club, “You Be You,” at Buena Vista.  After their exposure, the school district suspended the club and issued a ban prohibiting teachers “from monitoring students’ online activity for any non-academic purposes.”

One mother said that the teachers had coached her suicidal 12-year-old daughter into a transgender identity behind her and her husband’s backs.  She said that the teachers had also changed the girl’s name and pronouns and also removed information about her medical history.  According to the ''[[The Epoch Times]]'',<ref>https://www.theepochtimes.com/parent-says-daughter-was-coached-on-lgbtq-identity-at-california-school_4156865.html</ref>

The teacher reportedly told her that her daughter was “trans fluid.  I sat across the table, and I was crying. I was trying to absorb everything. They kept looking at me angrily because I kept saying ‘she,’ and that it was going to take me time to time to process everything. I was very confused. … I was very upset. I was blindsided—completely blindsided,” she told the ''Times''.

The teacher accused Jessica Konen of not being ’emotionally supportive’ of her daughter, who was to be called by a new name and male pronouns and would be using the unisex restroom at school, according to the ''Epoch Times.''  “I felt she completely coached my child,” the mother said, referring to the teacher.  "It made me feel very, very small as a parent. I was unaware of anything. Not one time had she mentioned to me ‘Oh, I think that I want to change my name,’ or ‘I’m transgender’ or anything. Nothing. I only heard [[bisexual]] one time, and that was it,” she added.

{{quotebox-float|“How can you let these teachers come in and act like they’ve done nothing wrong. A mistake? How many mistakes are we going to make before my child almost lost her life? They didn’t tell me that my child was suicidal. You allowed these teachers to open their classrooms teaching predatorial information to a young child, a mindful child who doesn’t even know how to comprehend it all. How do you not know what’s going on in your own campuses?  Did you think no parent would ever come forward? You will not quiet me today. I will stand here today and protect my child, along with every other child who has not come forward yet. Do they have psychiatry degrees that I wasn’t aware of? Because I didn’t hire them. I didn’t hire them to sit there and nitpick my child’s brain. You took away my ability to parent my child, even before I had any knowledge. I didn’t even get to show support.  Your job was to educate my child in math, science, English, etc. Do your job, and let me do mine!”}}
